[quote=Anonymous]OP,
Are you *sure* that the expectation is still that both kitchens are now gluten free?
Your post almost sounded like it was decided that the main kitchen was going to be gluten free when you thought your family was staying in the guest cottage, and now you are assuming it's still gluten free now that the gluten allergy family have claimed the guest cottage.
Have you double checked since you realized where your family is staying?
Maybe you could send an email to grandma and your husbands' family saying something like
"Excited to see everyone! DH mentioned that BIL family will be staying in the guest cottage, and we will be in the main house with Grandma. I hope you know if you ever need help with that beautiful newborn I would be glad to lend a hand, day or night! Also, we want to be cognizant of Nephews gluten restrictions, and am wondering if the gluten restriction in the main kitchen has been changed since you won't be staying there? I am trying to figure out the logistics of feeding my kids for the week, so please keep me in the loop of what I can expect."

It isn't perfect, obviously, but tries to convey the spirit of helpfulness and awareness, but also pointing out that there are 2 kitchen and you have a family to figure out a weeks worth of meals as well, and the 2 kitchen/change of house to guest house thing.[/quote]
