Damon is doing really well without his bonkie. He cries a little bit when we put him down for a nap or at bedtime but he has done so well. I don't know what I was so worried about. He still has his buddy Growler to snuggle with and I think he's more attatched to him than he was to the bonkie. One day two weeks ago we lost Growler at nap time. He was still using his bonkie at that time and even though he had it, without Growler, he never did go to sleep. So we are going to hold on to Growler for a while. He's pretty special because he was a gift from Munkin during one of Damon's hospital stays.

We had another ice storm here last night. All the schools are closed so the boys and I are home-bound today. Jeremy, however, is on his way to Chicago today for another trip. The weather is fine in Fayetteville where he is flying out of, but I'm not sure about Chicago. Please pray for his (and his travel partner Heather) safe travel this week. The high temp in the Chicago area is supposed to be 25 this week. He's going to be about an hour outside of Chicago. Burrrrrrrrr! It's not much warmer here though. Pray for the boys to be well behaved this week and for me to have a lot of patience. Talk to you all later.
