snoozin on the job

As you know we've been potty training at our house. She loves her underwear and doesn't want diapers. But she will not go #2 on the potty. She cries that she wants to and that she needs to get it out...but nothing ever happens (until its nap time or bed time with a pull up on). I feel so bad for her, she seems like she's trying so hard.
Today was yet another struggle to get her down for a nap because she says she has to go. I went go find some patience and change a load of laundry and when I came back, bless her heart, she was nodding off to sleep on the toilet. It was so hard not to laugh too loud!

He's 28

A birthday a long time ago

birthday two years ago

Happy Birthday today!

Love my Mark. He's incredible, really. I love him so much, sometimes I think "I wish everyone could have a husband as good as mine". Proud? Yes, and very thankful. Lately I've also admired his efforts in training for the Ironman. Its dark, and cold, and sometimes wet, but he works out anyway. Siri and I made red velvet cupcakes per Mark's request.

now I'm at the top of your blogroll

A year ago (well, Nov 20 to be exact) I got Lasik on my eyes. What a B-LESSING! This pic was taken 5 days after. Today I went to my 1 year appt and am still seeing 20/20. I love technology.

I take Siri once or twice a week to MyGym. She LOVES it and I love watching her expound so much energy and play with (or at least near) other kids.

It snowed the end of October. It was beautiful, but I was happy it all melted the next day.

My friend Jennifer snapped a few pics of me and this one with Siri. I love it.

Mary Chapin Carpenters "Thanksgiving Song" has great lyrics for this time of year.

I started potty training Siri on Wednesday. So far its been pretty good. I think its as hard for me as it is for her! The biggest obstacle is that she won't #2 in the potty (and that I'm afraid to go anywhere). Yeah, gross, but its real life ya know. Anyway, you go listen to that song and I'll go tell my daughter for the millionth time "tell mommy if you need to go potty"...
