Big Changes

Look at his proud little face!
I bought a potty chair a few weeks ago anticipating potty training in the future. To my surprise, Griff was all on board to sit on it. So I took off his diaper, he sat down and actually peed! I was so surprised and happy- we called Ben and Katie to tell them to news. But since then, he has not wanted to sit on there. At all. So my eagerness to try potty training will have to wait a little while longer. Maybe in March?

The three of us went to our friend's house, Taylor and Mindi Pagel, at the beginning of January to have supper and celebrate our Goddaughter's 3rd Birthday. It was a fun and hectic night with three kids under 3. This is their 11 month old Cooper, so cute!

This was Miley's third dress of the evening. She felt the need to dress like the princesses on her scooter we gave her. She was so excited! What an expressive girl.


Belly pic at 18 weeks. I'll be 20 weeks tomorrow (Wednesday). Still feeling good, but I have my days of tiredness. So blessed to have a husband to pick up my slack on those days.



Painting! Ben and I have been attempting to sell our house for nearly a year and a half with no success. So we had another realtor come into our home and take a look. We wanted an opinion on a price adjustment, as well as what other updates or changes could be made to appeal to buyers. So, after a lovely visit with our realtor, she determined some painting needed to be done to "neutralize" our home. I agreed. Three days later, I was painting the front porch and our bedroom. My only regret is that I wish I had done it years ago- I love the change! Ben took this picture while I was up on top of the closet in the porch. Never again. I didn't think I would ever make it down I was so terrified.





Christmas 2010

Three pictures. That's it. I took three pictures over all of our Christmas celebrations.
Mom's face can be explained from Ben telling a funny story.

Jeff, Katie and Casey on the couch at Mom and Dad's on Christmas morning. I did take quite a bit of video of opening presents, so there is some record of this day!

Kids

Ruby Rae is pulling herself up and becoming mobile!



Griff was playing with a puzzle wearing my headband and a play necklace. Ben was getting a little nervous of his outfit, and the fact that Griff was really enjoying wearing it.


No worries.
