HELP with Spencer sleeping. PLEASE!

We need HELP!!!  Darin and I are both SOOO tired of Spencer waking up at night.  Usually he is only up for a few mins- 1/2 hour, but 2-4 times a night!  It is  just killing both of us.  We have tried so many different methods, from rocking him back to sleep, letting him cry in intervals, letting him cry period with out us going in (which strangely enough seems to work the best, BUT I feel guilty with him crying for so long with no comfort!), feeding him before he goes to sleep, feeding him when he wakes up in the middle of the night, letting him sleep with us (which he hates!) etc.....  

Are there any other ways?  Any advice or anything you have tried...  HELP

Savannah, The Paleontologist

So this Friday Savannah is going on a field trip to Thanksgiving Points dinosaur museum.  She is really excited about it.  So I asked her if she is going to be seeing real live dinosaurs there.  "No!" she said, as if confused I even asked her the question and of her answer. "For some reason, they all died." 

Oh, yeah. That's right, I forgot!

Lost Pictures



For many years we have had one computer after another stop working on us for various reasons. Every time I would just die because, like an idiot, I never backed up any of our photos. So from late 2004 to Aug 2007 I had lost most - if not all - of our family photos. :( A few weeks ago we came across this computer gadget that takes your old hard drive and connects it to your current computer. We bought it in hopes that, out of the 3 hard drives we had, at least 1 would work. Our wish came true! Not just one but 2 of them worked! So here is a "movie" of just some of the hundreds of pictures we recovered. (See, we aren't such bad parents after all.) We are still missing most of our pictures from late 2006 to about June of 2007. Hopefully one day we will be able to recover those photos. I am just SOOOOOO happy that we got back so many. I cry every time I see all the photos we got back. Don't worry..... I have backed them up about 20 times now :) I am not losing these again!
(the quality of the pictures aren't the best in the movie)
