The summer is over!

We had a great summer. We started off with a great vacation to Orlando in June. We visited Legoland and just had a nice relaxing time. We spent lots of Fridays and Saturdays down in Charleston at the beach. We made many trips to the Columbia Zoo. We had a visit from nana and just enjoyed our time as a family!
We made a huge change this year, through lots of prays, our two oldest girls started school today. They're attending a great private christian school here and we couldn't be more pleased. They were so excited today and almost couldn't contain their excitement. Jake and I, on the other hand, had a very difficult time with it. I spent most of the night crying, yes, I did. I can't imagine college and Jake spent the day at work moping around. They came home so excited and had such a great time. I'm so thankful! Just so thankful!
Our two youngest are still at home, of course. So, they're also transitioning. Harp, kept saying today "I think I hear Tay and Kamy." Made me sad. But its good. We had a great time reading books, playing, shopping and just hanging out together.
Well, when you read this, pray for us. Its a big decision and one that we didn't just take lightly.

Why GAPS?

Why GAPS? I've asked the same question, about 1000 times! We eat a 95% organic diet, sprouted grains, sprouted nuts, taking our cod liver oil daily. A few months ago, I noticed a rash on my sons cheeks. It was faint, so only I could see it. I knew what it was right away and almost cried! I'd read up on eczema, knew the cause and knew it could be fixed, through a process. I also noticed, "lets get real" my children had soft poop, ugh! I knew, I didn't just want to be "gluten free" or "paleo" because ultimately those diets won't "fix" the problem.
As a mother, I felt like a failure. Thinking, I was giving my children the best and yet it still wasn't good enough.
So, it begins. Follow us on our journey and lets get real together.
