Peace Is...

Peace is being up at 5a.m. and watching your two newborns eyes look to you for nourishment and comfort...

Watching your little adopted furry friend stay in her bed even when the kennel door has been opened to let her out and she stays because it is her comfort zone...

Seeing your husband in a deep sleep beside you and knowing that even if you woke him up to help he would remain calm and glad to offer a helping hand...

Sitting on the porch sipping hot coffee, watching the sun rise, and listening to the neighborhood wake up...

Knowing that your biggest responsibilities in a day are to hold the ones you love the most and prepare the home...

Watching a great movie such as "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" with friends and enjoying good food and wine...

Cherishing my mother and sister and our friendship and knowing they are only a phone call away...

Being able to log onto the internet and read the "goings on" of close friends and being able to comment, never feeling left out or out of touch...  

Seeing a ministry so dear to my heart grow, change lives, and desiring to take part...

Reading a good book

I love this blog entry!!! It's neat to see you growing as a Mommy! You amaze me how you have twins and probably are running around crazy but you take time to slow down and enjoy every precious moment! Thanks for mentioning FP! Your family will always be so special to us! Thanks for all your prayers and support!

Hey,

This is a comment for your previous post about Lily not wanting to stick to her feeding schedule. I never put Baby Bean on a schedule. I would keep an eye on the clock to see if when she did wake up, cry, get fussy, etc. if was time to eat or close to it and if it wasn't I would check everything else and then try to put her back down. If that didn't work, I fed her. Babies change their routines so much but it gets better.

One time Baby Bean was screaming upset because I actually fastened her diaper too tight. That was it and she went back to sleep for another 2 hours.
