Last Week

We had a busier than normal week this past week, mainly due to the fact that the Women of the Church committee (which I am on) sponsored a sit down dinner, and a Matthew Smith and Indelible Grace concert on Saturday! Nana volunteered to come help with the girls for the weekend while Jim and I were at the church all weekend (Thanks, Nana)! We had a great turnout and the concert was AMAZING!!

Janey had a big milestone this week in that she gave up the paci!! Yes, I was reading an article at some point a couple of weeks ago about how the best time to give up the paci is between 18-24 months...so with that I thought maybe we should try to get rid of it. She was only using it at nap and bedtime, but I was not looking forward to it because it was not fun with MV. I took Janey's pacis out of the bed when she was not looking Tuesday morning, and when nap time came around we just went in and got her blanket. She questioned, "paci?", and I just said, "Pacis are all gone". She went on to sleep after about 15 minutes of chatter, and NEVER cried about it!! WOW, that was much easier than with MV!! I still can not believe how fast her 2nd birthday is coming! March is only 2 months away!

Mary Varner had a fun week with her regular activities of AWana at church, and ballet. She was invited to a birthday party for a little friend that she has from church and preschool. They are big buddies and think that it is sooo neat that they have the same first name!! It was a skating birthday!! Mary Varner has not ever skated before, and it has been at least 15 years for me. She fell a few times, but soon got the hang of it. I did not skate because she really needed me to balance her and I knew that I could not do that very good on skates. We had a blast!!
