Thank you God for James and Friends

So, we are still working on letting James fall asleep on his own, in his own bed. I have to report we have some successes. This morning, I put him down without a pacifier, told him to go to sleep and so far it has been 25 minutes and no crying! Way to go James!

Jesse and I were reflecting on how rewarding parenting is. These are the rewards we have discovered so far...

1. When he holds on to your finger really tightly.
2. His happy smile - this is a rare event.
3. His chuckle - this only happens in his sleep.
4. All the little discoveries he makes - like his fingers and the cool things they can do.
5. Feeling him relax when you hold him in your arms.
6. When he sees us and reaches out his arms.
7. Plus, he makes a great ice breaker for conversations.

I've met so many more people since we had Jamers!


Here is a picture of Jamers with his friends and our friends Olivia and Isabelle. We say, "Thanks for all the nice clothes!" We could never have picked such great friends as you; you must be a gift from God!
