Last weekend

Last weekend Leah & I headed up to Chicago to see Crissie, Steve & the girls. We went to an open gym at GymQuest, swimming at the Y, and two pumpkin patches! It was a great weekend. Joe hung back and painted our bathroom. What a huge difference to makes going from a drab brown to a muted light green!

2 year check up

I was so caught up in talking about potty training I forgot to mention Leah's 2 year check-up. She is doing great!

Day 3

Today was day 3 of potty training and Leah didn't have an accident until 7PM. She is doing great! I hope it continues with her at daycare. It seems like she really gets what we are trying to do and is interested (which is probably the most important part).

We had another great week. Work keeps Joe and I busy. It seems like lately we are left wondering if things will ever settle down. It seems like at some point they would, but they don't. Last week they posted 5 jobs they are trying to fill, but they continue to take 10% of our pay. It is frustrating to say the least.

I hope everyone has a great week! The fall weather has certainly made an appearance here. I am looking forward to the change in wardrobe!

Been a while, huh? Yeah, I'm not sure what happened, I guess time just got away from me. It seems like once Leah turned two she is all grown up. She has changed so fast I hope we aren't holding her back. A few weeks ago we went to the zoo, it was the first time we went that Leah had requests for what animals we saw. She wanted to see the lions, giraffes, and monkeys.

We had an amazing weekend for Leah's birthday. Thursday night Crissie, Steve & the girls came in, then on Friday Grandma Debbie arrived. Leah really took it all in having all her favorite people in town.

We have been working on turning the upstairs room into a playroom for Leah. When I couldn't find a toy box I liked, Joe offered to build one! It turned out great. Kind of a simple project but Joe always does a good job of putting a lot of thought into what he wants. Leah loves that Joe built it for her and is still talking about it.

I promise to update the blog more frequently!!
