As I get older, these posts are a way of remembering things better.  There's so much to remember and I forget daily! January  We celebrated Luke's 5th birthday with a PJ Masks themed birthday party!  Luke is starting to get to be more independent.  February  I turned 34 and celebrated with some friends at 1908 house of wine.   March Ellis started daycare for the first time.  She adapted well to the situation.  We purchased a brand new car!

As always, I feel like the end of the year is a good time for reflection.  You have to know where you've been in order to move forward.  It's like being on a ship, checking the log, and righting the ship towards the destination.  2017 was a pretty decent year at the Rollins Residence. January 2017 -  Luke turned 4!  We had a paw patrol party for him. Paw Patrol party for Luke! Ellis is 8 months and is now pulling herself up to stand at things. Big girl and Luke like to play together February 2017 - I turned 33.  It was not a big birthday year for me.  Nothing new to report. Ellis is 9 months.  She and Luke are so cute together.  Luke got lots of testing done, blood work, colonoscopy, and finally allergy skin testing.  But at the end of the day, we found out that he's perfectly fine.  He's allergic to dairy, yeast, soy, apples and peanuts.
