When I used to eat milk products they caused the following reactions in Juliet: lots of spit up, gassiness, irritability and constipation. Lately, with all the new foods she's been eating, I thought she might be growing up a bit and yesterday I tried half a bowl of cereal with some regular milk on it. Then I waited....and waited...and nothing happened. She didn't spit up any more than she usually does and she was happy. She was a teensy bit gassier than usual but it didn't seem to be bothersome. And the big test! Was she going to be plugged up for 5 days??? Nope, she was poopy this morning! FOR ME, THIS IS BIG NEWS!!!!! I'm not ready to run out and get a huge ice cream sundae but I'll probably have a bite or two from now on and work up to a banana split. Wahoo!!
We saw the Brackens at the sand dunes on Saturday and I'm finally getting some pictures up from the day. By the way, Beka, did you have on a UV filter??The dune buggy got jumped a bunch by Merril's friend, Drew. Merril jumped it a bit as well but I like Beka's pictures better. (I was trying to get pictures while holding a squirmy Juliet and I just didn't catch was I was going for.
On a funny note, Jack really likes to wash his little matchbox cars. Merril gets his truck washed probably twice a week so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Anytime they get sticky or dirty, he takes them into the bathroom sink, washes them off and asks for a towel to dry them.
Oh and Merril ran a 5K on Saturday. He shaved 5 minutes off his time from last year. The kids and I cheered at the start, ran to get donuts and cheered at the finish! 
He's been pounding the gym for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week!! He goes with Rick at 5:00 a.m. Ick. Rick stays for an hour and Merril stays for another hour because there's nothing else to do at 6:00 in the morning. If he came home, the rest of us would still be asleep. He's really starting to trim down and I'm like,"Wow, babe!" He's never been this trim, at least not since I've known him. I'm really proud of his determination. His goal is to run the marathon in October! Go!

Your trip to the sand dunes looks like fun. I'm so jealous looking at your kids outside with no jackets on and then looking out my window at 8 inches of freshly fallen snow. Blah. I guess I'll be grateful in the summer.
Go Merril! I'm due for another 5K, myself. Just gotta get my lazy butt outta bed:)
I really like your due buggy picture..I think it turned out cool. ESPECIALLY while holding a suirmy baby. I had the advantage of having free arms.
And to answer your question, I used a polarizing filter the day we were out there.
yay for Jules and her not spitting up! Looks like there might be a "real" dessert girls night sometime soonish.
Maxine says, "Yeah, we had a fun time out there. Anyway, uh...how about this. I had a fun time playing with Juliet. You know I love her, right?" Jamie says, "Thanks Beka for the filter answer. I like how it made the sky so blue! Sorry about the snow Ang. Keep up the good spirits! And yeah for dessert!!"
I'm so excited for you! I hope you can eat dairy again soon without having to suffer dire consequences. Good luck!!
Yeah for Dairy!!! That is big news!!
You crazy kids and your sand dune shenanigans.
I'm impressed with Merril, tell him good luck!
And on a selfish note...I'm glad to see that the kids in S.UT still are wearing light jackets... {{jealous}}
