Audrey Screen Test

Just trying to load a video to Blogger. Hope it works.

A Visit to the Allergist's Office

Well, the last three weeks have been really rough as far as the "welts" I get. Today I had an appointment and they ran some tests (tested for 30 different things to be exact); and boy did we test positive for allergies to things - 16 out of 30. I figure: "Go big or go home." ;) Mildly allergic to milk, eggs and peanuts. Really allergic to some other stuff, like oak and different grass types and other tree pollen. Oh, yeah, CATS too. Shocking!!! Just kidding, that was a joke. Everyone knew that already. Thanks, everyone for your prayers for me over the years.
The first picture is of the 6 food allergens on the right side of my back and the other photo is of the 24 outdoor/indoor allergens on my left side. What a reaction, huh?!
We may have to think about getting Audrey and Jarod tested at some point also. Love you all.

End of the Week Photos

Here are some pictures to send you to your weekend. Hope you all had a wonderful week. Love you and miss you.

Weekend Explorers and Rare Finds

We were at the mall killing time while The Dauntless was undergoing routine maintenance in dry dock, when Jarod discovered the basement level of the Dillard's department store. Later in the day, while leaving our evening meal, I stumbled across a rare and true treasure. I found *big booming announcer voice* " Ranger Doug Darling - the idol of American Youth- and The Riders in the Sky!!!! Guess what you all might be getting for Christmas! ;) Love you all.

Sister Play Time

Dianna was such a good sport playing with Audrey in the garage. Audrey loved to be pushed in her walker around the garage. Have a spectacular Friday. Love you.

Let Them Eat Cake!!!

Since Audrey was not really interested in her cake (because she was super sleepy), we gave it to the older children. Boy did the gobble it up! Love you all.

Mother-Daughter Fine Arts Date

Dianna and Barbie were able to go to an artist's series at the college featuring the "Liberty Voices". This is an A Capella group made up of present and former members of "The Voices of Liberty" which perform exclusively at Disney's EPCOT resort in Orlando.
Barbie and Dianna are so beautiful. Thia is Dianna's first Fine Arts. She is so excited.

Audrey Summer Palepa Tupua

One year ago this morning - at 9:39 A.M. to be exact - the LORD blessed our family with a beautiful baby girl. Right from the get go she has been ahead of the curve. She just got tired of waiting to meet her Mommy and siblings, so she came out eight weeks early. The first 27 days were spent in the NICU but now she is doing so well and growing into a beautiful young lady.
