WE'RE MOVING

Hi all . . . would you believe that I have on my to do list every day to update this blog????? Yup. I'm rarely on a computer at home and its difficult to do it from my phone. What is not difficult from my phone is posting to Gregory's Galactosemia on Facebook. So, I have decided to continue writing and posting . . . . and will be doing it more . . . . but from Facebook. I feel like this is farewell, but its not! I just feel I would do better on a another platform of social media. :)

So please! Come follow  me over there! If you're new, get caught up and her and move on over!

First day of 3rd grade

Gregory had his first day of 3rd grade! This was the first year he really got what "going back to school" meant. It was so much fun! 

Daddy and Lindsee gave him a card. 

Me and my bug. 

Handsome boy. 

Oh yes! 

So looking forward to this year Gregory! You are going to do great things!

Christmas

A little late posting. None the less we had a great Christmas. 

Tree Decorating. 

Annual Polar Express Night at Bobbie and Poppie's house with cousins. 

Of course Fitzy visited every night. 

Dairy free brownie Christmas trees. 

Bowling with Papo and Mimi. 

First hot chocolate at Starbucks . . . made with coconut milk. 

Dairy free egg nog. 

Fires and presents. 

Christmas morning mess equals happiness. 

First part of the year . . .

Well long time no see! I've been a little M.I.A. on here. Not sure why really . . . I guess no news is good news? All in all things have been good for Mr. G man. School is going really good . . . no behaviors issues (does having time out in the office yesterday count?) . . . just behind a little academically. 

Here is my attempt at summarizing the first part of 2015. :) 

He continues to lose teeth! He has lost 4 total. This one was in a hotel room. It litterally just fell out it was so loose. 

Gregory has a new baby sister! His dad and step mom had a baby. He loves being a big brother. 

Still going to our favorite place for sorbet, The Gelato Spot. 

The super bowl was here this year. We got to go to the NFL experience. It was . . . an experience. Good thing our friend gave us free tickets because it was a little too stimulating for Gregory. We did not last very long. 

Dinner with friends . . . 

Bed time dictionary reading (lol) . . . . 

Getting strep twice in one month . . . first time was all of spring break. 

Opening his first savings account . . . 

Dying Easter eggs . . . 

More In N Out . . . 

Field trips to Butterfly Wonderland . . . 

Cleaning the table after dinner in your underwear . . . 

Big surf . . . 

So far its been a great year. I am glad the school year ends this Friday. I'm looking forward to not being on such a schedule, more time with my boy, not packing lunches and just relaxing more. Hope you all have a great summer!!

Less than two weeks!

Our 3rd Annual Costume Party Fundraiser is less than 2 weeks away! 

We are so excited! 

Please join us for food and fun on the farm! 

Its sure to be a great time!!!

Bi Anual Metabolic Clinic Appointment

Last week We had Gregory's Bi Annual Metabolic Clinic Appointment. Its a very long appointment. We are seen by the geneticists, the nutritionist, social worker, and psychologist. Everything went pretty smooth all in all. I filled in the psychologist with everything Gregory has been going through. She wants to look at the possibility of Gregory maybe having ADHD. She said you can have this with out the hyper sensitivity part. I'll keep you all posted. Otherwise, he is a happy healthy boy! Praise the Lord!

Food

I thought I'd do a post on food and what Gregory typically eats. I have not done a post on this in a long time. You may or may not know Gregory's dad and I have joint custody of him. So, I don't really know what he eats over there . . . but with me, it looks something like this:
