15 Minutes with Daddy...

Jonathan left for the Big Island (Hawaii) on Tuesday and we weren't expecting to see him until February 4th but he called last night and told me he was flying back in today to pick up another helicopter. We went to see him and took him some food to take back with him. It was only 15 minutes but I'm really glad we got to see him. Payton loved seeing the helicopters and getting to see Daddy too!

Payton's First Shiner...

I haven't added any pictures for a while...Sorry.

I'm usually better about updating Facebook if any of you have accounts.

Here are some of the photos I took this week before Jonathan left for the Big Island.

No More Pacifiers in the Bryant Household

Payton has been very, very attached to his "paci" and "clyde" (his monkey) since he was only a few months old and we decided 2 years old is old enough. It's been a rough day but we remain hopeful that he will soon leave his memories of the "paci" behind. Until then Jonathan has been kind enough to lay with him until he falls asleep without it. Please pray for Payton's sweet heart as he longs for his precious "paci".

Due to the fact that Sawyer hasn't been sleeping very well at night we decided it was time to take his "paci" away as well. Jonathan and I find ourselves getting up every hour or two to put it back in his mouth and it has been very draining. Fortunately, after only two tries Sawyer has seemed to adjust. The first time was at his afternoon nap today and he cried for 50 minutes before he fell asleep and the second time was when we put him to bed tonight and he only cried for 25 minutes. Let's hope the time continues to decrease!
