I CAN EAT PEANUTS NOW!
Praise God! Caroline has outgrown her peanut allergy! This picture is her first taste of peanut butter at her food challenge that was in the allergist office. She has never tasted peanut butter because she showed up highly allergic to them at one year of age. Over the past 2 1/2 years, her blood tests showed she was less allergic and then this year her skin test was also negative! Over the course of a couple of hours, she tried the peanut butter. First a little drop, then 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp and finally 2 tsp. She had no reaction at all! She is still very allergic to milk, but we are confident she will grow out of this too, as she has the soy, egg, bean and now peanut allergies!
Jason's parents also came in this week! We got to have dinner with them Wednesday night before they headed out to visit several of their supporting churches. It was great to see them and they brought the girls some adorable dress up clothes and dresses from Cambodia. The store they are from is run by a missionary who employs women to provide them with good jobs. The girls love their new dresses and play clothes! We will be seeing the entire Groth clan at Kristyn's wedding on July 12!Only 6 more days until China! We are busy getting packed, organized and ready to go! Please keep us in your prayers as we make our final preparations for our sweet boy.

Caroline, Ms. Sylvia is so very happy for you, I told every Sunday School teachers and your old friends that you can have peanut butter. You can have somthing besides Bug Bites. I really miss you. You are a big sister now, so take care of Silas. Maybe your Mom or Dad can bring you upstairs and visit. Love You, Ms. Sylvia.
