High Hampton 2010

We just got home from another fun week at High Hampton.
The boys had a blast!
Kirby Loved playing with his big boy friends, who he talks about all year long.


Brotherly love
annual walk around the lake

taking a little break from the annual lake walk to play with some Lego's
Roe and Abigail- our AWESOME babysitter who came with us this year

dad and his boys
The Perry/ Neal family
the Alexanders

The famous "blue blazer picture"
7 boys
what a neat family tradition... i think Kirby and roe are the 5th generation to grow up going to High Hampton this exact same week every year. All of these guys have grown up together even though there is a little of a generation gap.
Ted's dad was 16 years older than Glen (4th from right , beside Ted)
Glen is 16 years older than Ted,
Ted is 16 years older than Hunter (Glen's oldest boy on far left)
and Hunter is 16 years older than Kirby.
It's so weird because Kirb and Hunter seem a world apart, but to look at the friendships between Ted and Glen (who was in our wedding) and also Ted and Hunter.... 16 years doesn't seem like any difference.

Sickie

Since Roe's twelve month appointment we have been struggling trying to figure out why he has not been gaining weight and what is wrong.
After SEVERAL visits to the doctors, a few meetings with a nutritionist, and a lot of advise from a wonderful old friend, we FINALLY were able to get an appointment with the allergy doctor.
Praise God!
After just minutes talking to the Allergist and showing him pictures of Roe's strange flare-up's, we were told hat Roe had VERY SERIOUS food allergies.
He was tested immediately and we were prescribed the epipen.
Roe has allergies which will trigger anaphylactic shock if he eats or comes in contact with Milk (all dairy), eggs, and soy.
We have also been advised to stay away from peanuts, tree nuts, and shellfish for two years.
This is going to be a huge adjustment for a family who loves cheese, processed foods (which almost always contain soy), and desert.
But, we are so happy to know what is wrong and little Roe Roe seems so much happier now!
Prayers still welcomed!
