Enjoying Life!

Whew! I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. I thought I posted about our Easter weekend. Honest. Man, I'm losing it! Well, here's a recap of what we've been up these past few weeks.

Clay's parents came up from Georgetown to spend Easter weekend with us. We always enjoy our visits with them. We had our annual lunch out at Pop's off Rt. 66. That place is so much fun and Courtney loves it just as much as we do! That night we headed over my sister's house to dye Easter eggs. The kids really got into it and made a huge mess. Courtney loved, but didn't seem to get the concept of taking the egg out once it got color on it. Let's just say we had one REALLY yellow egg! Easter Sunday was spent at my other sister's, Tiffany, house. We had a huge crowd there to feast on ham and fried chicken. The kids enjoyed hunting for eggs in her huge backyard.

Last weekend we headed up to my old stomping grounds, Stillwater. We met up with my college roommate/sorority sister, Amber, and her family. She met her husband in college and I was there since day one to see all their milestones. They have the cutest little boy, Hayden, and are awaiting for little Hadleigh to come at the end of July. Hayden and Courtney had never met and it was so much fun watching to play with one another. So much fun that we're planing to take them both to their first OSU game this fall! We must be crazy!

That same weekend, Clay and I decided that we need to cut the cord on Courtney and her pacifier. She's really attached to it, but I think we were attached to it more! We did the cut it back the first night. She caught on really quick to our scheme. The next day she kept showing me that it was "broken." We decided that night we'd do the "Paci Fairy" story. This where we tell them that they're going to leave for the fairy so she can pass them onto the babies. In return, she leaves a baby for her since she's not a big girl and can be a mommy to a baby. We packed them up. She wailed. We put her to bed with the "broken" pacifier and hoped for the best. She did sleep all night. When she woke up she saw her baby and loved it. So much that we had to take it to Nana's house to show it off. So far, she's slept every nap and night without one. We've only had one rough night, but it wasn't too bad. You know what the nicest part is? Not having to track down the darn pacifier when it's time for bed!
