About a week ago both Shayden and Gavon slept all the way through the night. Hallelujah! I got so excited I could hardly contain myself. Then the next night and since then they both have been waking up. Shayden's been sick and when she hasn't been sick she wakes up and whimpers by our bed. Gavon has done a ton better, but sometimes just wants to be held. I stopped nursing him on Dec. 7th, and since then he can sleep from 7 to 7. Wahoo! Maybe they'll repeat that glorious night...yah!
As a side note...I saw the funniest baby ever last night! He had a skinnier head with cheeks about the size of an apple. His eyes were bright blue and stuck in the wide open position. I looked at him and said woah...woah. It made me realize how awesome life is. With a baby like that, who can not enjoy life?
I also found a cool link on the LDS.org site. It had really cool ideas for families for Christmas. I really liked the idea of writing a gift that we would give to Christ on a piece of paper and putting it in a box that you open on Christmas morning. Maybe we'll do the little notes to each family member in the stockings too? As always, we'll do a Jerusalem dinner. I'm still working up other ways we can make Christmas special and centered on Christ for my family.

Oh Raychel, I know how you feel. I had Asher down to once a day nursing. I am trying really hard to wean him. Both Caleb and Asher got hit with the cold. Asher now wakes up two to three times a night and will not going back to sleep without nursing. Caleb usually just wakes up once.
I truly understand how you feel. It would be so nice to get a good night's sleep. That is what I am asking Santa for!
You really have a lot of love for all of the sacrifices you make for those little kids. I remember trying the gifts we can give to Jesus one year. We really miss you all right now. Hope you have a happy time.
