Just Some Random Thoughts...

Fun Week
Last week Daryl was off work. He had to take some days he missed out on last year. So we got to do some fun stuff. One day we all went swimming at the YMCA and another evening we went to a coffee house in town that has play areas for kids. It was nice to have him home all day and enjoy our time together. This week I miss him being here when I get off work.

Weekend Fun
This past weekend we got to go to South Illinois to visit with Daryl's sister and their family. They have 5 kids and we had a great time. It was really cold all weekend so we staying inside mostly. Nathan had fun playing with his cousins and so did Jacob.

Potty Training
So tonight Nathan went pee pee on the potty for the second time. I think, if no big plans come up between now and then, I may use the first weekend in February as a potty training weekend and just go all out with getting rid of the diapers and preparing to clean up a lot of messes. We'll see.

Jacob Update
Jacob is doing well. He is being a slug at walking still. He can cruise around and get about everywhere he wants to. He can stand for a few seconds, but I don't think he sees the point! :) He is a few days over 14 months now, so it should come soon.

Dentist
Nathan went to the dentist a few days ago. He did better this time around. He did really well until it was the dentist's turn to look in his mouth. He started screaming and we had to hold him down... fun, fun!

Girls' Night Out
I got to go hang out with some friends a few weekends ago. Part of the night was a Once Upon A Family party. This is a company that sells really neat products to help you document family memories and build family traditions. Here is the link to the site to see what kinds of products they have. Here are two products I really like: Item 1 and Item 2.
