The snow has come and come and come. It just doesn't stop. On Saturday we had a Christmas party at my mom and dad's. We packed up all the winter gear for the kids and had a great time out in the snow. Or should I say, Jason had a good time out in the snow.
It looked like so much fun my dad had to get in on the action.
Believe it or not, Mallory is squished in the middle there too. You can't see her but she's there!I have finally reached a point in my life where I need to say thank-you to a dear, dear friend. It's always a hard thing to do when it's someone you've depended on for so long, someone who's gotten you through many tough times, minor emergencies, night duty, etc. I'm writing today to say good-bye and good luck to my companion of the past 6 1/2 years, The Diaper. We've traveled quite a road together, spent a lot of time together and bonded well over the years. But I've managed to grow out of the need now. Yes, my children are all FINALLY potty trained. Even though this moment is bittersweet, I am rejoicing on the inside. I am happy to have no more soggy diapers around my house, no more smelly children sneaking up on me after they've deposited their "gift" into the diaper. Now I enter a new phase of my life; wiping little butts as they deposit their "gift" into the toilet. The need for me never seems to cease. Enjoy the pictures of my latest "big girl"!
Well, the tooth fairy has finally made a visit to our house. On Friday night Maddy pulled out her first tooth. The tooth has been hanging by a thread for days and I finally convinced her that the Tooth Fairy would deliver extra cash if she would just yank it out. So after a few unsuccessful pulls (I think she whimped out on the first try) the tooth came out! She is now the proud owner of a gap in her teeth which she will display for anyone who asks.
Sorry about the blood. It was a momentous occassion and I didn't want to miss anything!
