See Ya 2014

- HELLO -

!!!

2014 has been quite the year. Mason became a big brother and our whole family grew in ways we could never imagine. Mason had no visits to the ER, thank God, and no serious flus or colds. Health wise, this was Mason's best year yet! Sleep wise.. it has been one of the worst, aside from this last month which has been MUCH better, Mason was waking up at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 am ready to be up for the day. We tried everything, doctors, prescription drugs, high doses of melatonin, low doses of melatonin, even stricter routine, keeping toys from him, letting him cry.. nothing worked. Then something flipped in Mason's body, faith took over, God heard our prayers, whatever it was, suddenly he started sleeping. Thank God.
