Guess I haven't blogged in a while, lol. There's been plenty to write about, but that's just it - life is full and busy. So we've been busy living. Here are the highlights:
- Ella is doing great in school. Her teacher adores her. She's learning at a rapid pace and remembers almost everything. She likes to play teacher and boss her sisters around. They tolerate it about half the time and ignore her the rest.
- Mia is finally potty trained! We finally just kept her in underwear for everything and kept a spare pair of pants and underwear in the diaper bag. A few weeks ago she started staying dry at night. She's had a few accidents the last few days but she's still learning and we're not going back. That means we're officially down to ONE in diapers! After almost four years of at least two in diapers (and a solid six months of THREE in diapers), this feels like a huge, amazing accomplishment.
- Nora is more and more vocal and getting easier to understand. Some of the things she says are just hilarious. One night at bedtime she said, "I not a tired baby." She also very clearly blamed Mia when she pulled Mia's hair.
- My class kinda fizzled. It's disappointing but I believe there's something better and the timing was just not right or something. So for now I'm focusing more on my fitness. I just completed week 1 of P90X.
- Steve has had more changes at work. A coworker and friend left for another opportunity and Steve received a promotion to Senior Network Engineer, way more responsibility, and a big raise. Like we can pay things off and save money now big. He's a little more stressed but he loves the challenge and he's learning tons.
Basically, life has been really good, just really busy. I'll try to post more often since we increasingly have family spread around the country.
