A Change Would Do You Good

Two posts in one day..are you impressed? =) My very first blog was about Parker and his beloved pacifier. I am happy to report after 2 years, 6 months, and 3 days--we are PACI FREE!!! We have been without paci for 1.5 weeks. Parker does ask for it every now and then, but is content when I tell him that we don't have it anymore. A huge thank you goes to my mom. When Parker spent the night with her before the Storybook Festival, he did not ask for it that night or the next day. I thought this would be a good time to just 'nip it in the bud' and it WORKED! Thanks Mama!!

We also took Parker on his first camping trip with Jim's family. It was fun! However, Jim and I slept in the back fo my car. We did have a deflated air matress with a few layers of blankets on top. It wasn't too bad, but I don't know if I want to do it again anytime soon. Parker and Brodie had a lot of fun!

When they are together..they do a lot of this!

Parker always rides his tractor. It is favorite thing to do!

A view of some of our campsite. Jim's brother and fiance slept in one tent and Brodie slept in one by himself. Jim's parents horse trailer has sleeping quarters in it..Tony, Julie, Alry, and Parker all slept in there. Mama Julie made chicken and dumplins' for supper and a big breakfast..it was DELICIOUS!





Parker loves playing outside..since it has been warmer, we stay out there for hours every afternoon and on the weekend! This is his new bubble lawn mower. He always wants to 'cut grass'! He got the lawn mower because I had to take him to the doctor because he was running a fever. They swabbed his nose and throat to check for flu and strep. When the nurse was finished..Parker was crying and saying that he wanted to go to Wal-MartS. I hope they don't think that I call Wal-Mart--Wal-MartS. We did go, and the law mower was his prize he got for being such a sweet boy lately and because he felt so bad.



Parker's latest discovery. He can climb up the book shelf. Jim sent this to me yesterday. He has been such a little monkey lately!





Parker wanted to go back outside..he was hanging from the door knob.

I thought it was hilarious!

On a good note, Jim got a new job. He is now working for Seminole Development as a project mananger and selling real estate again. It is a much better job than the bank, and Jim is really enjoying it. Please continue to pray that things go well at the new job.

We have had a lot of changes in the past month, but they are good changes. No paci, new job, and some warmer weather.

"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you"

1st Thessalonians 5:18

Last night Parker said that his ear hurt, and that he needed to go see Dr. Bang (his pediatrician). Too funny..and the way he says Dr. Bang is so cute.
