Today I've decided to participate in "Hi/Lo Thursday" over at the Riggs blog....this is the family of little Abby who you've all been praying for.
I'll start with my "hi"...it just happened last night. I was introduced last year to the teachings of John Rosemond by my sister but never really started to practice them...I finally decided to watch his video this week and thought that it was time to start making the change...anyone familiar with us knows that J & G end up in our bed every night and mommy and daddy get NO sleep...so the first step is to get them sleeping all night in their own beds. Last night was a great night, G came into our room 2 times but both times I brought him back into his room and he stayed. J never even woke up last night! I'm so proud of both of them!! H also slept thru the night so we almost got a full nights sleep.
Now for the "lo", I could talk about the economy or our water getting shut off yesterday due to a lack of communication at the water company but those things just really aren't that important when it comes to real life and the things that really matter. I've been following a blog for just a few weeks now about a family with a 10 month old little girl. She recently got sick with ear infections and just couldn't kick the sickness, then she all of the sudden developed black eyes....after blood work it was revealed that little Cora had cancer. This tiny little girl fought as hard as she could but only lived another 3 weeks, she passed away this weekend. How can I complain about anything when I have 3 healthy little boys? I remember when H was 2 weeks old and got viral meningitis...I was so scared and didn't know what to expect, I don't know what we would have done we had gotten a different outcome. God be with the McClenahans during this hard time and give them peace.



Hours of Fun!
On Sunday morning the City of Fayetteville came to our neighborhood and started collecting all of the debris from the storm 2 weeks ago. The boys LOVED it. We had roll off containers and dump trucks and "digger" type things, I don't know the technical term but they were there most of the morning and in front of our house alone for an hour. The boys stood on their bedside table watching out the window as all the debris was collected, they thought it was so cool...I'm wondering now why I didnt take a picture of that sight!
