Easter 09

So, I thought I posted this Easter update already, but now I don't see it on the blog, so...... here it is again. Easter Sunday afternoon, we headed out for some quick pics of the kiddos, and then had an egg hunt. The pictures were a test of my patience, being that David kept running off and insisting to try to jump into the water and Kaylee's allergies were so bad she could hardly keep her eyes open, and Ryan was more fascinated with running around throwing rocks into the water than looking anywhere towards the camera. LOL! But in the end, I was able to get a couple cute shots, and all the kids looked absolutely beautiful in their outfits. The egg hunt was lots of fun for them too. Paul kept the little ones occupied while Ali and I hid the eggs, and then they were off- running like crazy to find them all. At first David didn't understand the concept, and was picking up anything to put into his basket (eggs, leaves, trash...). But after awhile, and some help from Daddy, he got the hang of it and had a blast.

I dont have room for all the pics of course, so I will just post a few. The rest you can see on the links I sent for Kodak, Picasa, email, or my Facebook and MySpace.

Happy (late) Easter! HE is risen!!

3 Day Potty Training...and then some!

Okay, so I finally have a chance to update our blog, especially with everyone asking about how the potty training situation went. For starters, I do think that the "3 Day Potty Training" method is a great place to start, but am not entirely sure that it can really work completely and be maintained after only three days. David did very well, and is now going over to the potty, wearing big boy undies and all that, but......we still do have some frequent accidents. All in all, I would say it went well and was a great starting point (especially since he is only 22 months), but I predict we are going to have to keep going and endure the accidents and constant training (and this time with the help of pullups!!) for at least a few more weeks until we can say he is completely potty trained. He does look so cute though in his "big boy undies" though.

Also, Kaylee is part of a Multi Age Wise Kids Enrichment Club, and they recently did a performance in celebration of Women's History. I am attaching the video clip Paul took at the end of the post. You can see her in the front in her red shirt and her hair looking crazy (I dont know what she did to it between the morning and this performance a few hours later...LOL). Anyways, they sing and then after the songs, they all get the microphone to tell about one signigicant woman in history so far. Kaylee's was Ann Curry. She did such a good job reciting it all. My baby is brilliant. :-)

Everyone is doing well, and looking forward to the sunny weather that spring and summer brings! Here is a recent pic of Pippin. At his vet appt last week, he weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds! lol We just love him and Sadie both.

Love you all!
