For the love of peanut butter

Just like his mamma! Although I think it’s cuter when little Baeo has his whole face shoved in the peanut butter jar than when I do. Yeah, probably.

A post in pictures

I am happy to say that after nearly 6 months of fighting with Ulcerative Colitis I think I am finally in remission.

I spent most of my days here.

Tried every type of oral drug the doctors could think of including steroids that made no difference except make me feel like this.

Went through another one of these.

To finally decide that I needed this.

Every 8 weeks for about three hours I sit here

and pump my body with Remicade.

After three infusions and about two months since I started the Remicade, I am finally feeling like myself again.

Oh, and I no longer feel like I use this.

Excuse me while I go do this.

Yum

You know what’s better than macaroons?

Chocolate covered macaroons!

I almost peed a little when I saw these in the store yesterday….

Just sayin

A few weeks ago, Braedon discovered that his voice can be very high pitched if he wanted it to. From then on he has been babbling in the most high pitched voice ALL THE TIME! My sister calls him siren boy…

We were coming out of the library on Tuesday from story time and there happened to be fire truck sirens going off and we were also passing an older lady at the same time. Braedon started babbling away in his “siren voice” and the lady thought it was so cute because he was imitating the sirens. Oh lady, if you only knew….

This picture is taken at the Tot Spot Cafe in Woodinville, which I think is the coolest place ever. It is a cafe where you can go and order coffee or get food and just hang out, but the place is one big room with a huge play section and tons of toys. We go there about once a week and I can sip my coffee while the Branado can do his thing.

Another has come and gone

These weeks here in Seattle seem to fly by and we are already heading back to Ithaca in less than 4 weeks! It’s crazy.

This weekend I got to spend some time with my best high school friends, minus Brooke. I’m planning on seeing her in Spokane before we venture on to New York!

We spent some of Friday evening playing around in Kirkland. It was a beautiful night!

On Saturday we eventually made our way back to my parent’s house where we hung out on the deck and around the campfire.

Love Jenny’s face…yes Jen, we are a little crazy.

I’m going to miss these girls. Luckily I still have a few more weeks with Jenny since she has moved to Redmond!

On Sunday afternoon our little family went on a hike, which was cut a little shorter than what we wanted because of construction on the trail route. We still had a great time though!!
