Sleeping

Until last night, we had not gotten much sleep. Tripp has been waking up every 2-3 hours since birth. At 7 months, we were ready for that to end! Last night was our first time letting him cry it out at bedtime and it was torture. It worked! He only woke up ONCE the entire night. I actually got 6 straight hours of sleep which hasnt happened since...well...I was out of the country! Thank you Tripp!

This Week

Tonight: "Lilley, Let's check on Yo Yo when we get home."
"Okay Mom, that's cool."
seriously????? My 2 year old says "that's cool"

May

Tonight, Lilley was in bed and said, "Hey Mom, is Baby Tripp sleeping good?" I told her he was, and she said, "Alright, I need to check on him sometimes like you check on me. That sound good?" Lilley has been in heaven because Michael let her get Yo Yo, the cat (thanks to Laura and the Zahns). "Hey my little sweet kitty."

I am finally updating pictures from a busy May: Jame's Graduation Party, Baccalaureate, Graduation, Beach Week with Kelly & George Henry, weekend visit to Birmingham, Alabama, and our garden. Pics of Michael's 30th coming soon!







LOVE IT...MY FAMILY LOOKS SO HAPPY!
