Unsolved Mystery (rash)

*I apologize for any baby nakedness, I wasn't paying attention!

Our trip the allergist this week didn't really give us any answers as to what caused Sullivan's hives last week. Of course by Monday afternoon they were all but gone.  Thankfully, all the photos I took came in handy!  The doctor did a scratch test for about 16 different things, but all came back negative.  This in itself is pretty amazing considering when I had my allergy scratch test done as an adult I was allergic to severely allergic to every single thing.  Here's hoping Sullivan is working with Daniel's genes on the allergy front!  So, since all were negative, we know what DIDNT cause the hives.  Doctors best guess is a food we haven't eaten since or a virus/infection.  We are to return for blood work if the hives return. Oh well.  Glad my baby is back to normal!

I made some new dishes Sunday afternoon!  Turkey and artichoke stuffed shells with Arrabbiata sauce and artichoke pesto.  I'm very happy with both.  The stuffed shells are reminiscent of a lasagna, but the turkey, artichokes, and herbs really lighten it up to me.  Doesn't feel as heavy or fattening.  The pesto was good as well, but I still prefer traditional basil pesto!  Looking forward to that this summer for sure!  Both of these recipes are Giada's so are easily found on the internets. 

Sullivan and I are heading to Cleveland this weekend for an Outback Kayak Reunion dinner in honor of Dave Heflin.  Dave is a legend in those parts, and most everyone has been on at least one of his trips.  My childhood is filled with memories of Halloween's in Tishamingo, winters skiing, and summers at the Nantahala.  Dad, Dave and Henry sure knew how to have a good time!  If I had written down all the stories I heard growing up from this group, I would be a retired, and very wealthy, author.  Maybe one day.  Regardless, I'm looking forward to my first trip home in MONTHS!
