Sleeping Beauty

Oh, so much to share. Last week was a full one with many family members coming to visit. Broc's aunt, uncle and two cousins made it out for several days of shopping, eating seafood and kicking back on the beach. At the same time my aunt, uncle and two children came to Savannah to visit, and yes indeed another cousin came to stay with us for her whole spring break. With all the commotion and family fun it didn't even register to pick up the camera, which really bums me out.

Having been fearful to say goodbye to Piper's beloved "suckie," (which is our word for a pacifier) I needed a little nudge from my darling husband. Fearful only for selfish reasons of course, I didn't want to deal with the melt downs and the sleepless nights of crying for her bedtime companion. Well, it has begun and there is no going back now. We told her that there are babies who need her suckies and that seemed to go over well, until bedtime. It took a few hours, tears and compassionate snuggles for her to fall asleep, but she did and believe it or not, it did not kill her! Phew! I think (and pray) it will become easier after a few more nights of this. Sayonara suckie!

We wandered over to our local farmers market on Saturday, which I have been waiting and waiting for. We all enjoyed eating some locally grown, pesticide free strawberries. Broc and I were thrilled to find a local coffee roaster featuring his newest blend. Yum
