Big Eyes and a Big Belly

I just downloaded this off my camera and I love Noah's eyes in it so I wanted to share :) Yes that's my belly.



We were supposed to go on a play date today, but the traffic was so bad we had to turn around and go home. It would have taken over an hour to get to someplace 15 minutes away :P Stupid San Antonio! Noah's been going on the potty all by himself with no accidents for 2 days now. I have to pay real close attention because he also wipes himself too and that's usually not the best idea. He does a good job, just not a GREAT job. At least I've drilled it into his head that he has to wash with soap and water after he goes. My hands are so dry from all the washing I've been doing this week lol. Noah's been doing so well I stopped keeping track with stickers. I just give him a plane or toy once I think it's been awhile. He got another one yesterday after doing such an amazing job. AND today he woke up dry from his nap!! :O Not only that but this morning his diaper was also nearly dry. I can't believe it was so easy to train him. Thank God because I really can't bend and move anymore haha. I guess I waited the right amount of time because he was definitely ready. Now he dresses himself from head to toe every morning, including his underwear... meaning he takes off his own diaper and throws it away too. What an easy child.

Wow those are beautiful eyes & what a nice big belly!!Noah's eye lashes are even longer than Ava's and her are so long!(She has Marks eyes for sure).Noah gets his eyes from you,those long eye lashes run in your family.
Ava is at the beginning of learning to undress & dress herself.I think most of us do it backwards when we try to potty train our kids before they can dress & undress themselves or even tell us that they need to go potty.Live & learn I guess!Ava can tell me when she needs to go potty and she can somewhat undress herself,but she needs help putting anything on.
I am so happy for you that you got Noah trained before the baby arrives.It will make things SOO much easier for you.Trust me,haha.I am getting very excited to see pictures of your baby.It's all so exciting! :)

That is a great picture! Those eyes are gonna be a heartbreaker someday! One look and a girls gonna be totally in a love with him:) HOw cute! I love the belly picture. I was thinking back and it's been so long now I forget how it was being pregnant. That's kind of scary though. I must have a bad memory. I'm so happy Noah is trained. I really never thought about the whole taking pants off and on or dressing Haley. She is great at taking her shows off and she tries to take her shorts off. I think I should defintely work on that with her. We bought her Elmo underwear today. She hasnt' gone the potty since the poop and pee incident so she wore them for an hour today and no messes, but no pottying either. I just laid her down for a nap so I'm sure she waited to go in her diaper. I think she's gonna be a hard one to train. I cant' wait to see what your baby is either!! Yeah! What do you hope for?

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
