Winter Fun!








We finally found a day above 20 degrees to go sledding.  (We tried last week, but only made it for about twenty minutes.)  We have a great hill in our neighborhood to sled down, and it is so much easier this year not to have to carry Maren up the hill!  The wee ones had so much fun!!!

VICTORY!!


I remember potty-training with Jack; it was a six month struggle.  I tried sticker charts, potty prizes, M&M's, even a potty watch.  He finally got it, but the road there was no picnic.  I dreaded having to go through it again with Maren.  Yet, somehow just like with most other things, Maren's transition was much easier.  (I wonder, is this because she's just less resistant to change than her brother, or are Craig and I just smarter this time around???)  Either way, we are so happy to announce that we are living in a "diaper-free" house.  Marsy and I had a little date on Saturday to go pick out her new "undies."  She's very proud of them, and we are very proud of her!
