Bad Blogger!

I think that I am possibly the worst blogger! I haven't posted anything new for a long time now! I don't think anything big has transpired in our home since our vacation in March, but I'm sure it is nice to know that we are still alive. This summer we all kept pretty busy between Keagan's 2nd birthday and all of the fun family get togethers we have! Well the latest and greatest is that Keagan no longer sleeps in his crib. We changed it into a toddler bed and he is doing great now! We first decided to change him to the toddler bed, because he was crawling out of the crib. He was smart about it too! He would throw out his pillows and blankets and pile them on the floor for him to land on! So the first week in the bed, he did great. He went right to sleep and slept through the night. Then, he realized that he could get out and refused to stay in! He would turn his light on and just cry, or come into our room. We tried several methods and finally found that with the safety door knob on, and a dimmer switch, he sleeps in his bed once again! Next thing to tackle is potty training! He likes to go pee in the potty because he gets rewarded with candy! But he is a little confused. He will sit on the potty and fart and then say he is "all-done"! We will get there eventually!

I recently decided to open up my house for daycare. I'm not doing anything big right now, just two kids three days a week. It is really fun for Keagan to have other kids to play with during the day. He is such an active little guy now, that I think that he gets bored just playing with Mom all day! Matt and I are doing good, and still trying to expand our family! Things seem to have been a lot harder this time around than when we tried for Keagan, but we are hanging in there. I always have to remind myself that I am blessed just to have ONE child of my own. I have always known that bringing children into this world would be harder for me than others, but I have been prepared for the worst and take everything one day at a time. Don't get me wrong, I still have those days where I start to feel sorry for myself, but I've learned that in doing so, I get nowhere! This experience for me is definitely humbling and sometimes I forget that I need to just stop and pray! As for now, we will keep doing what we're doing and leave the rest in the Lord's hands!

Here are some pictures from the last couple of months!
