Quick update

Ok I know I have been so bad at blogging lately I promise to get better... I am in a blogging rut. When I think about getting on to update my mind kind of goes blank so I move onto something else then I forget to come back and update. So with that said...

First and foremost...Baby Avery is out of the hospital and doing wonderfully. She is absolutely precious. Thanks for all the prayers...I know the family is very grateful.

Ok so now onto some very important questions... As most of you know Breckin is on his way to being 2 1/2... we finally moved to a big boy bed about a month ago or so... Breckin loved his crib so much we just kept him in there until we felt like it was time to move him on out. We got him new furniture and bedding to get him excited for his new move. Things have actually gone pretty good...that is except nap times. He does not ever refuse to go to his room to take a nap he just refuses to lay down and actually fall asleep. While we think he is in his room sleeping away, we walk in his room to find that he has decided to get out his clothes, shoes, every book he owns off the shelf and anything else he can get his little 2 year old hands on. This has been an on going battle for about 2 weeks now. So does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this child to take a nap? Or do they grow out of naps? Gosh I hope not... my little buddy has always been the best nap taker until he got in his new bed. He is a 3 and 4 hour napper so I sure hate to see those go bye bye... let me know if you have any suggestions... any input would be great!

All I have to say is no one ever tells you this kind of stuff...new beds, potty training, tantrums... whoa... a little overwhelming at times I must say...but totally worth it.
I just can not believe that my precious, innocent sweet baby boy is showing me such attitude these days...What happened?!?! We were feeling like such successful parents, all proud of the parenting we had done so far and then boom...one day it was like what!?! Where did my angel go that was sweet and submissive to our authority... So I guess it's true what they say... 2 is not necessarily terrible but sure is trying! So I guess if you have any suggestions on parenting books that would be great too!

Please pray for baby Avery

Some of our dear friends, Kevin and Brandi had their sweet baby girl on Friday morning and she has been diagnosed with Group B strep. I just ask that everyone lift them up in your prayers for complete healing over this precious little angel. She will have to stay in the NICU until they get a negative read for the Group B culture and then will be released 10 days after that. She is at high risk for meningitis and phenomena so please pray against this. I will keep you posted as I receive information. Please keep this family in your prayers!
