Sorry Charlie Brown,

but there will be no peanuts for Annikka. After three separate unpleasant encounters, our suspicions were confirmed by an allergy specialist, Annikka is allergic to peanuts, cashews, and pistachios (i.e. some tree nuts). It's a different allergy combination than Joel's, so our nut/seed radar will have to be re-tuned. She is now the proud owner of an epi-pen jr. (aka her peanut medicine) but I hate to think about having to use it one day. I suddenly feel as though peanuts are lurking everywhere, so it's better to be safe.
