Where has this month gone???

Geeezzzz....the lack of postings should tell you a few things....first it has been a long winter inside with two very energetic toddlers!!! Not being able to go to parks or just go out and run has been hard this winter!!! I can honestly say that I am ready for winter to be over with!! What have we been doing you ask???.....not much just trying to stay on top of everything around here.

First, Madison has been keeping us on our toes with her potty training process. I am not surprised that this has turned out to be A PROCESS with her...very fitting to her personality I guess. She is doing great with #1 and needs to work more on her #2 if you know what I mean :) The joys of motherhood I suppose! There has been a lot more laundry this month that is for sure, but at least she is still trying;) Madison has also been our bruiser this month. About three weeks ago I was working out and the girls were messing around and somehow (it is very hard to get a straight answer out of a three and four year old!!) Taylor's elbow landed in the middle of Maddie's forehead!! That left a nice circular bruise in the middle of her head!! Just when that was going away she bonked her nose and got a bruise there!! And then tonight....Taylor "misplaced" a block and it landed on Maddie's eye so she now has a big gash on her eye!! What kind of parents are we!!!! In Taylor's defense she felt really bad about the block(even cried cause Maddie was bleeding). Maddie then decided to say "I'm sorry you hit me in the head with the block Taylor.....it was an axxxxxsssssident".

Taylor has been pretty good this month....minus some mishaps with elbows and blocks ;) We had a parent/teacher conference this month.....and Taylor is doing GREAT. They did some evaluations with the kids and Taylor scored great on everything. She really does enjoy school and enjoys learning and being with her friends. They went on their first class field trip last week(i was able to go too) and she had a great time.

I have been doing really good this month as well. Besides feeling cooped up with my kids! I have been keeping busy and I know these next three months are going to be VERY busy as far as our big trip to San Diego for the YFC conference and Don's increasing travel schedule! I have been hanging out with my friend Angela some more which has helped me feel like there is someone here who understands where I am right now (she has a very determined two year old!!)

Don is feeling good. I think he is ready for warmer weather too! He has been helping me some on our new Blog look;) One of the reasons for no pics on this post or this month for that matter is that we got a new camera for Christmas...I know how to take pics but transferring them is a little different....I need a few more lessons;) Like I said Don's travel schedule is going to pick up here, so we really just need to pray for his body to hold up and not get too tired on him!

So, that is the family update...for the month!!! HA. hopefully I will get pics up this week. hope everyone is doing well.
