Helping...

Our dryer needed a little fix and so Reese pitched right in and helped daddy. He actually was quite a help with his little hands and his handy flashlight!

Girls' Night...

Last night I got to go to a cooking show with a couple of girl friends and I won this wonderful Italian themed basket! I really enjoy going to cooking shows as it somehow renews my desire to cook. Tonight we are having Greek Turkey Burgers with a yogurt sauce on homemade buns...

Been too long...

Where do I start? I keep meaning to update this thing, and then I get distracted (funny how that happens).
We've had some fun company--Callie came for a weekend and Dottie and Rose came another weekend. The house always seems so empty when company leaves. The boys are asking where they went and want more attention from me...
Reese's eating gluten is going well--he doesn't seem to have any problems. Of course this might not be the answer, we might have to go back to eating gluten-free in a couple of months, but hopefully not. For now he is happily eating all things gluten!
Carsten continues to injure himself, but on the good side of things he is potty trained! I didn't even need my mom this time!!! He was an easy one--so far. I still need to work with both boys on nighttime potty training, but just haven't yet--maybe when my mom is here??? It will involve changing habits--drinking lots of fluids after dinner, being willing to get up in the night, etc.
I've been getting more decorating done and a couple of people have requested pictures so I'll do that about as quickly as I've been updating this...

A good weekend...

It can't get much better than a visit from Opa and Oma!!! We had a great time together--my dad and I got a lot accomplished in the wall decorating department (my dad helps me hang pictures, etc. because Jim and I don't have enough patience and I like it perfect).

Carsten (of all people) ran into the corner of our table on Saturday. This is his little black eye... He also got two scrapes on his face--one right on his birth mark. We were planning on having our family picture (just my dad taking our picture outside) on Saturday after lunch. Carsten managed this wound an hour before we headed out... No family picture.
