Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

We had a great Christmas as a family. Lynda and Callie were ready to go bright and early. Matt was a little more ready to sleep in (17 and all). Grandma and Grandpa stayed over night and we had Lynda safe goulash and we had a turkey dinner for Christmas day. I have attached some pictures for your enjoyment.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Years from the Taylor's. Call that family member you have not spoken with for a while and wish them Happy Holidays at least! All out allergy friends, please please be safe during this season of parties and goodies flying everywhere. Lynda, Callie & Laurie made Lynda safe sugar cookies while Laurie was off from work. Leave us a comment or e-mail us if you want the recipe. The cousins are coming from California next weekend and we can't wait! Our western Iowa cousins are coming too! Enjoy the season and God Bless.

An Iowa Winter Wonderland

Hello all,

I hope your holiday season is starting out great! The girls are way excited about Christmas and are part of the church pageant this year. They play towns people that come to see baby Jesus being born in the manger. Their singing has been great and they really are not sure how to take the boys who want to upstage them. They are stars don't you know :o)

We had the Taylor Family Christmas this weekend. Sadly due to scheduling Tanya and the Simmer clan were not able to come down for the celebration. Maybe next year we can meet somewhere in the middle. The girls got digital cameras from Grandpa and Grandma this year and are budding photographers and Matt got a radio for his shower and some cash. We had fun and there was food enough for everyone.

Today we are dealing with our first major snowfall of the year. We had our first snow fall a week or so ago and the girls made snow angels. I am posting pics of their play, snow angels and them with Grandma Diane. Have a very Merry Christmas- we will keep posting throughout the holiday season. We are excited to welcome family back from California the weekend after New Years and of course GO HAWKS the Outback Bowl Rocks!

Have a great day.

Allergies, Asthma, and Eczema

We are a Midwest family of 5 Sean & Laurie and our 3 kids. Matt (17) is our oldest, then Lynda (6) and Callie (4). Our subject is based around our kids. All three of our children have food, antibiotics, and environmental allergies.

Matt is allergic to food: soy, antibiotics: Bactrim, Ceclor and Sulpha, environmental: dust, pollen, mold, animal dander.

Lynda has multiple food allergies, antibiotics: Bactrim, Ceftin, Furadantin, environmental: dust, pollen, mold, and animal dander. Lynda also has eczema and asthma.

Callie is allergic to antibiotics: Bactrim, environmental: pollen and dust

We believe knowledge is power and want to make sure this very misunderstood condition has the voice it needs. Far too many children, parents, caregivers etc. suffer with this quiet affliction that continues to grow in numbers day by day.
