Busy season with lots of changes

I'm learning about rest and patience lately. The first quarter of the year has already been full of changes and we foresee that trend continuing.
Here are a few of them:

We can no longer give Ruby "special" gluten free foods or deny her parts of meals so the whole family is going gluten free.

I've determined that Enzo has a reaction to dairy so he's (as of two days ago) dairy free. The rest of us are limiting our dairy but not eliminating it completely right now.

We're still working on getting our house remodeled to sell/rent it by this summer. The details are not worked out yet but we know that we want to serve God and out city more/better and for our family that means living closer to the center of town (probably in a smaller place like an apartment).

Along with gluten we're limiting grains, corn (which is technically a grain from what I've begun to research), sugar and soy in our diet (and no chicken for Chuck) because of allergies/sensitivities.

We are doing a lot of thinking, praying and re-evaluating this year because we want to be good stewards of our resources (that includes our bodies and our time).

Another big change that is occurring is the developing of the kids. They literally grow overnight! Ruby is learning so much and is sweet and Enzo is getting so big he's hardly a baby anymore.

  1. This may sound sassy, but what ARE you guys eating? :) I have a girlfriend whose diet is mega-limited after removing so many components, but I never got a chance to ask her what a normal day of meals consists of. With starting Lydia on solids I'm keen on learning more about how other families choose to feed their kiddos!
