And time goes on....

I thought I could keep up with the blogging but it's not working. 2988 people have visited since inception. Wondering if people are still checking back. It just takes me too much time and attention to write.

March came and went

Are you kidding?!!? I cannot believe it has been a month since the last post. Here I thought I was going to be able to do this regularly. I thought a couple of weeks had passed at the most. Well, you didn't miss too much in between. A doctor visit here and there. Beau is teething and fighting fluid/infection in his ears.

The big 1 and 3 Birthday party was yesterday. It was so great and I could not have asked for better. Rain had been forcasted the whole week and it did not rain until 4 pm, four hours after the party ended. It was a great firetruck party. A firetruck from Conway came and the boys loved getting to see and get in the big truck. Then, we rented a bounce house/firetruck bouncy for the backyard. The guy called the night before to cancel due to the expected rain and I told him to wait until morning to make the call. So glad I did because the weather was excellent. It was a great addition to the party but not the main attraction like I thought it would be. The liked the swingset and sandbox just as much. The perfect amount of people and boys were there and I was proud to have pulled off my first real birthday party. SUCCESS!!

New Beginnings

Well, I'm coming out of retirement to start blogging again. I feel I have our home-life under control enough to escapt and blog as well as having something worthwhile to read. Today is my birthday and I'm so glad to spend it with JJ and Beau. Robert is in Denver on business. Next month they turn 1 and 3. They do grow quickly. Each day they play more and more together and it is so fun. JJ is protective of Beau and at the same time his biggest nemesis. Hard to believe the malicious pushing, hitting, toy-taking, and yelling that comes from one big brother to a little brother. I believe it is all just part of the process. At least he will apologize. The biggest news is that JJ is starting to potty train. Yesterday he peed three times in his little potty. It would not happen but for the sake of a candy reward. Still a success. But then last night after the victories and de-diapered himself and peed on the couch and then the floor. Mind-boggling! So...great that he does not want to use his diaper but bad that the alternative is not always the potty. We'll see how today goes. There is a shiny firetruck that rests in plain view but out of reach for the first toddler to poop in the potty. He has done it before but it is time to become a habit. These are the current day adventures in our home. Aside from almost daily trips to the gym and twice a week church outings there is not much out-of-home excitement. It works for us.
