Taking a break

I just love the way the Lord works! He places people in your life to help shape & mold you into becoming more like Himself. I will be taking a break from blogging & facebook. It will be refreshing to spend less time thinking about ME and more in the Word and on the needs of others. God has given so many people such wonderful gifts. It's time for me to recognize that and appreciate different points of view, not get defensive. My heart aches for the closeness of friends. Friends that I hope will forgive my selfishness and help me change for the better.

Bye Bye Plugs

Time to say farewell to the pacifiers. The girls are teething & can't hold onto them, so Ian and I have decided to take advantage of the natural transition. It's going to be rough for a while until they get the hang of it. It is good for all of us though. They will learn how to self pacify and I will not have to get up 6 times a night to replug them. In the "Juggling Twins" book I have, they recommend getting rid of them no later than 4 months old, otherwise they become a crutch for them and a constant hassle for you. Well, the girls have enjoyed the comfort of them for 7 months and now it is time to let them go. I know that some would not agree with this decision, but every child is different and this is what's best for Karis & Kelsie. We would appreciate your prayers, as we are in for a pretty difficult road.
