March 2018


This March we announced our Miracle #2. We are so excited to meet our baby boy this July. Jefferson prays for our baby to be "healthy and strong in mama's tummy" each night. He also has been insisting on making a rattle for the baby. He will be such a wonderful big brother. We celebrated the month of March by making a snowman, making St. Patties cookies with Dixie, and discovering the joy of an inside sand box.
Jefferson had a bout of the "I don't want to go to sleep/nap" but my body is so tired I fall asleep playing- phase. One morning we found him asleep on all of his toys in his crib. A few times in the middle of the night he would be zombie playing with his cars and train. We pulled out all the behavior tricks and reinforcement strategies we could think of and thankfully he has improved. But the funniest position we ever found him in was sound asleep in one of his toy crates. So funny!  
This March Brad got his Christmas present from us- 2 weeks in China. He went off the beaten path and had the adventure of a lifetime. And of course learned some Chinese along the way.

Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China.  Here we find the peaks that supposedly inspired the scenery for the movie Avatar.
