The Latest

Mid-August and we're getting close to the end of Summer. Of course, it remains all about the kids...

Many thanks to Elisabeth (aka "Nana") for spending time immediately after Connor checked in and helping us through. In the month since Connor's arrival we've had a few milestones, but mostly it continues to just be "plug-along" time. To wit:

- Caroline has held Connor in her lap and adores him. She has tried to feed him "Caroline's milk" just like Mom gives him "mummy's milk" by pulling up her shirt. It looks as funny as it sounds.
- We got locked out of our house yesterday as we attempted to enjoy a nice snack on the back porch - got a chance to meet a new person when the locksmith showed up to let us in.
- Connor is just starting to crack smiles unrelated to relieving himself or drifting off to sleep.
- Caroline got her first haircut yesterday (August 14). She passed with flying colors, didn't cry once nor be too fussy. She enjoyed it like the girly girl she is. I need to start saving more to afford the accessories she'll be shopping for when she gets older.
- Bought a new car - Hyundai Sonata...check them out.
- Caroline has started the transition away from diapers. Just the other day she woke up asking daddy to change her diaper. After doing so she told me she needed to go potty. 90 seconds later she was sitting on her special Elmo seat going pee-pee in the toilet. Oh, the things that excite us these days...

Pictures pictures pictures...they tell the story pretty well
