Success with Poop (and Pee)

I almost forgot. Maddie is completely potty trained. I received several pictures via cell phone chronicling her success (scary when the messages were opened at work), as well as phone calls from Grammie. I would tell you it was easy but that's because there was no way Madeleine was going to let me assist her with this. Most of the credit goes to Grammie I think, then Dada. It is sooooo nice to be changing only one diaper.

My Messy Eater

This one was too good to pass up and I had to publish it.

Washing Machine

Our washing machine was out of commission this past week. Grampie was kind enough to help us trouble shoot and Maddie and Hannah came to the rescue too.

I have a whole new appreciation for this particular appliance now - especially with two little ones.

Hannah Turns One!!

After a pre-party melt down, Hannah pulled it together and did very well (without a nap too).


Thanks to everyone for making her party a success. It was crazy, but fun.
Here are some pictures. Enjoy.

Hannah's Walking (and has been for awhile)

Okay. So it is harder to keep track of child number two. She's probably been walking for about 3-4 weeks now. At least we captured the progression on film. We thought she was trouble before though....

Sad News

We have been off the radar for a little while. At the end of August my dad received word that he has Multiple Myeloma. We were all devastated initially, but he has started chemo and is doing very well with the treatment. He certainly isn't letting it stop him. Despite having promptly retired, his days are very busy. He's been out to breakfast several times with Marcel. He visits with the girls and I several times a week. He is still running and working out as always. We can't seem to get him to take it easy, but that's his nature I suppose. I want to thank everyone for their well wishes and support. I'm pretty sure we have the most amazing friends and family out there. Please keep us in your prayers.
