Binky free!

So Lily has decided that she is a big girl, and therefore threw her paci away (or so we're guessing.. we have NO clue where it is, and she's done it in the past) and has done GREAT without it! I was SO worried about trying to wean her from it! None of my kids ever took pacifyers so this was a new thing for me in parenting! Thank you God that she just did it, and has been fine! I foresaw many sleepless nights, and days filled with LOTS of crying, but thankfully she has been my happy girl, and has actually started being more vocal, and "talking" more! :) On another note we've all been struggling with allergies here, the enormous ammount of pollen that is surrounding us has really taken it's toll.. And now on top of that, we think our dog has Lyme's disease.. so now we have to plan a trip to the vet to get him some anti-biotics.. Stupid ticks, actually stupid deer that have over run this island!! Because it's a national park there is NO hunting, so now the deer are menaces, and cause accidents.. and leave behind Lymes disease! Anyway.. on the bright side of things, along with the pollen have come beautiful lilacs, and blossoms! I really do love that part of springtime! The smell of the air, the sound of birds chirping and singing first thing in the morning. Enjoying God's beautiful creation! :) Here are some new pics of the girlies! It's so hard to believe how fast they grow!!
