The ups and downs of life....

Love these little girls! This is Morgan and Peyton with Peyton's best friend Mallory, but they could all be sisters for sure!
We had a few AMAZINGLY beautiful days at the end of Spring Break! It was so great, and I feel less guilty for kicking the kids outside to play.
Deaven and Korban with their endless battles.


And then there is my parenting challenge right now:

Morgan, at 15 months, is still getting up 3-4 times a night most nights. Now, I am MORE than happy to hear a little crying as she works it out, but there are two things standing in my way of getting over this hurdle. 1. She shares a room with Peyton, and I feel bad for Peyton (so we might just have to move her for awhile). 2. It's not like Morgan is exactly a chunck, and I always worry she is actually HUNGRY. I can't make her cry it out for that reason. She does eat ever time she wakes up, but she will only nurse, not take a bottle.

But in about 2 months, I am going to Girls Camp for our church for 3 nights and Will.....well, let's just say his not currently lactating......so I've got to work this little problem out.

I have never really minded getting up with the kids at night. I fall back to sleep pretty easily and I love the cuddles, but the other night, when Morgan was on time number 4, Will took her and just cuddled her back to sleep downstairs (and then was up for hours himself).

So I have about 8 weeks to work this out, otherwise I am going to be sick leaving for camp.
