Turning the corner on colic :0)


I know it's hard to believe this sweet little face can be Mr. McFussypants isn't it? Mr. P-body has ben so colicy for the last 6-8 weeks but we really feel he is turning the corner. It has been a long several weeks to say the least but every day gets a little better. I am so thankful that we have these incredible little people in our lives.

Isn't he such a cutie!!!!!


I just love this pic of the kids. They really are a tight little bunch and it's so awesome to see. Sure, they have their fair share of fights and then some but then you have moments like these and your sanity comes back.

School is going FANTASTIC. Amazing what a difference a year makes. Last year I spent so much time wondering if we were doing the right thing. What if I was making a huge mistake? What if they don't learn anything? Now we are a year down the road and I can see tremendous gains. I really helped them learn. Not to mention all the little lessons they have helped me learn these last 12 months. I still have the lovely "yellow school bus" days every now and then. But I am so thankful to be in the spot we are today. Some days Paul and I look at each other in shock and wonder what are we doing!!!!!!!! But most days we look at our life in amazement for the life that we have. Tonight, I feel very blessed.

Thanks for commenting on my new blog!!! Your kids are so adorable! Your new not-so-crazy life idea is a big topic of conversation around here. I will keep you in prayer...I am there too!!! Anyway, on the colic subject, I wanted to ask if you have heard of something called "gripe water"? A friend of mine introduced it to me and it was a miracle when my ds was a baby. E-mail me if you want the details...

Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope your baby is doing better with the colic. We've have never had a super fussy baby but I know it's still possible.

Your kids are so cute, and I love the pictures of the baby. I just popped in to see how you were doing. I still have my blog at http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/smokeybutter but I've started a new blog here on blogger at http://www.homeschoolhisway.blogspot.com. It's mainly going to be for book reviews that I'll be doing. I've done the first on 4 books with an Autumn theme. Come on by either blog and see what's going on when you have time.

Blessings,
Missy
