Allergies

It's been an interesting day today and it isn't even lunch time. I had planned to have a couple of kids spend the day with Lisa, but when I got there the boys headed out to the tall grass. Hide and seek in grass head high is really fun, unless of course you are allergic to grass. Soso came in rubbing his eyes, and crying. When I got his fist removed from his face he looked like a prize fighter stepping out of the ring. We re-arranged plans and brought him home to get the antihistamines. He is now watching movies and chillin'.


Since school is out and we had a few extra kids around, we got into quite a discussion of allergies. These are the priceless conversations I miss during the school year. The neighbor boys were telling tales of when their little brother eats more corn than he should. Then one of them pipes up with "I'm allergic to dirty underwear..." I'm sure you can imagine where things went from there. I told him I would try to forget this conversation before he is a senior in high school. Ah, the blessings of living in a small town where everyone knows everyone, and you graduate with kids you went to kindergarten with. The odds of me forgetting are good, which will be a blessing to him.

I found this on my camera while I was downloading Soso's picture. I think they were testing out the timing feature on the camera, so we could take a family picture for our post placement report. It is still amazing to me how completely Nes fits in our family. How could I have known that God was making a place for him here, before I had any idea that we needed him? Our family is being remade into something I had never dreamed of, and it is so much better.
