Retracting my previous blog

The paci thing is NOT going well. She loves her “ta-ti” and refuses to go to sleep without it! Any tips would be greatly apprectiated. We’ve come to the point where we’d rather just let her have it. It’s easier that way and I don’t exactly have the patience these days to persevere through this trial.

Cold Turkey

So…we’re finally doing it! We quitting the pacifier – cold turkey! Reagan will be 2 next month, so I thought now would be the best time to kick the habit. She’s doing quite well…napping as I type with no paci and no crying! Snaps for Reagan!!

Here’s an old school paci picture for your viewing pleasure.

In other news, I have lost a total of 10 pounds since the new year! Yay for me! There are definitely no swimsuits in my future, but maybe a happier, healthier me.

And so it begins…

Thanks to my good friend Denise, I decided it was time to start blogging like the rest of the civilized world!  This is a place where we can update you about what’s going on in our lives and you can let us know what you think!  Here’s a quick update about our little family:

Rocky is 26…working at a job that he absolutely LOVES (and I’m soooo proud of him).  If you have a computer problem, he’s your man!    : )  He’s a great husband, a wonderful daddy and a servant of God.

That’s me (Stephanie)  I’m 27 and currently working on my bachelor’s degree in general studies with a social sciences concentration.  My plans when I graduate (hopefully in December 09) are to get a masters degree in elementary education.  I stay at home with my babies and love it!  I’m about to start a new semester in school (18 hours) and try to keep my sanity…your prayers are much appreciated!

Nathan just turned 6 in December.  He’s excelling in his kindergarten class…tied for the best grades, but not for the best behavior!  ;  )  He loves soccer and hanging out with friends.  He’s been bouncing up and down on his trampoline incessantly since he got it for his birthday…let’s join in prayer that he doesn’t break a bone with that wonderful toy!

Reagan is 23 months old!  Can you believe it?  She loves princess stuff, dancing and bananas.  Stay tuned for some photos and, if I can figure it out, a video of her banana eating skills!  She’s a sweet little girl (with a little bit of attitued mixed in) that loves her big brother like crazy! 

………So that’s us for now….stay tuned for more updates!…………
