Success!!

We are two nights into the "no pipe" life and it's been going good. She's only asked for it once. This morning we opened the front door to a gift bag from the Pacifier fairy with twinkle shoes and a magic wand. The shoes have hardly left her feet and her wand had to come with us where ever we went. Now if we could only get the Potty Fairy to show her face...

The Pacifier Fairy

As many of you know, Mallory is three years old and still takes a pipe. Now mind you, she didn't start taking a pipe until about this time last year when we were through with all her surgeries. We've tried the whole "it stays in your bed" thing or the "only at bedtime" thing and it doesn't seem to matter. Somehow we (I should probably say more along the lines of me) always let it slide. But, thanks to Super Nanny I've convinced her to give up her pipes once and for all. We are sending them to the Pacifier Fairy so she can deliver them to new babies who need a pipe. I told her that some of her pipes came from the Paci Fairy when she was in the hospital.

This was the first step. Decorating the envelope that would hold all her pipes.

Next we had to put the pipes in the envelope. She had about 6 I think.

This is her proudly displaying her envelope. We are on our way to the mailbox at this point. Yeah!

And finally, placing the envelope in the mailbox. Mission complete.

Of course the results of this "idea" are yet to be seen. Stay tuned....

Preschool Pictures


Today was the first day of preschool for Loryn and Logyn. They were so excited to be there and to play on the playground. I'm glad that all the money I pay counts for something! Anyway, enjoy the pictures. Apparently they were so excited that neither one of them could look at me.

Here Loryn and Logyn are finding their name tags with one of their teachers, Mrs. Sheryl.

Every morning when they come into the room they have to find their name on a board and give it to Mrs. Pat, their teacher. After they completed that this morning I took their picture.

Happy Belated Birthday Mallory!


I am ashamed to be writing this 3 days after the fact, but Happy Birthday to the baby of our family! Mallory turned 3 on September 1st. It seems weird to me that I now have a 3 year old because I still look at her as the youngest little munchkin in our family. I know she's still the youngest, but I guess she seems to be the neediest yet and that makes me feel good. When we found out we were pregnant with her I was devestated. I had thought that I was complete in the family way and didn't need another one around. I can't believe how much we would have missed out on had she not been in our family. It just goes to show that God knows what He's doing. She's been such a delight to us. No matter how naughty she is it's hard to not laugh at her as you're trying to reprimand her. She's a blessing in every way.
