So Long Pacifier
Julia has said good bye to her pacifier, unwillingly of course. We really wanted to get rid of it before 18 months (time recommended by our ped.) and both realize the longer you wait the worse it is. The first night was super sad cause she saw one on the floor but she has actually slept really well and we haven't heard from her much at all. It's just initially falling asleep that has been a challenge.
She's a trooper though and to make things slightly more complicated, Lizzie was up with a fever every 2 hours the first night so Julia had to put herself back to sleep alot. I don't know why I thought it would be easy, nothing is ever as simple as you think it will be.
Last week was such a fun week for me, I saw 3 of my best high school friends. I went to a baby shower for my friend Laura who lives in TX now. She looks so great and it was a lovely luncheon.
On Tues the girls and I travelled to OR (Oak Ridge, LOL not Oregon JLG) for my cousin's high school graduation. My mom just moved in with my grandparents who moved from Maryville to Oak Ridge. Sharon also came into town to see one of her nephews graduate and we got our kids together on Thurs morning. Her boys are so adorable and it was a great visit. I wish we had a chance to go out just the two of us for coffee cause it seemed like every good conversation was interrupted with the needs of a child but that is just the nature of things right now. Next time!

And finally after 3 days with the kids out of town I needed a day away once we got back home so I drove up to the Dickson lake house and met up with my friend Cindy from Louisville. I got to grill her new man on his intentions and had such a great day with adults. LOL
We took a boat ride right before sunset and watched the sun go down, it was very relaxing.
Cindy and Phil
I am so lucky to have such great friends and its so fun to talk to the same friends about parenting and marriage when 15 years ago we were giggling about boys and just trying to make high school the most fun we possibly could.
Todays big event is grocery shopping, with both girls- bleck! But it needs to be done. My good friend Liz just moved back to town from California but with Lizzie just breaking her fever last night I don't want to chance exposing their 4 month old Isaac. (I'm not worried about exposing walmart though, lol) So we'll wait another day to see them. I can never remember if kids are still contageous after the fever or just during. Oh well.
