This is what you get when you go to the park with Hanna. She was playing and fell from about 5 feet down to the ground where she smashed her face on a little green stepping stone. Thankfully my friend Karen was down there with me and her husband is the fire chief of the little town that we live in. She called him up and he came to check it out. Once he got there he said that she really needed to have it checked. He called it in and did all the paperwork so I did not have to give my info six times. Thank goodness for friends. I don't know what I would have done with out Karen there, she took the kids well I went with Hanna in the ambulance. Hanna was so afraid and did not understand what was going on. Everything turned out okay and Hanna now has a new teddy bear that she loves so much. She named the teddy bear that the EMTs gave her Doctor Bear!!

Addison Potty Training

Well, here I go again. I am becoming a pro at this. Yes, we are starting the fun task that is knew as potty training. Addie came up to me the other day and said "Peeeeeee" I think that if you can tell me that you are wet then you can try to use the potty. Tonight she did it. I have been putting her on the potty in the morning, after naps and before bed. We started this on Saturday. It is late monday and I had left her to sit on the potty. Knowing that she might end up with her small bottom in the toilet water. Anyone with kids knows what I am talking about. As I was coming back in to the bathroom she was peeing!!!!! Happy Day. We will see how long this last. She is only 22 months old. I think that she is doing great for her age.

Vacation Swap and Fall Wreath

It is done! I signed up for the most fun fall apron swap. The theme for the swap was where you would love to have gone on vacation. My partner that I was given wanted to go to Martha's Vineyard. This is what I came up with. I love how the white picket fence turned out on the pocket.

My newest fall wreath for the front door. I hand painted the harvest letters. I really like how it turned out.

Addie's saying of the day

Addie's new sayings for today are.

"I love you!" Which sounds more like " uh uh yooou!"

"It's raining!" This sounds just like it should. We were coming in from taking Macy to school and she looked up and said "It's raining."

How cute are they?

Jacob, Macy, Dan and Hanna

Last Saturday was my little niece Laura's Baptism. ( Yes, she is named after me. I know I don't know what they were thinking!) So the whole famdamly got together and went. Lots of fun!!! Well these are just a few of the pictures that my sister Dee took. I love how cute they look with their uncle Dan.

Hanna's First Day Of School

Hanna's Princess backpack!

Hanna was so excited to go to school last Monday. She even let me comb her hair!!! That is a small miracle. She was the most excited about the ride on the school bus. I think that it is really silly that she rides the school bus when it is less then two blocks from where it picks her up but after the first day I realize that it was really nice to drop Macy off and then Hanna hops on to her bus right there at Macy school. I don't have to get Addie in and out of the car eight times in one day.This is so nice after getting Hanna and Addie in and out so much last year with Macy's Preschool. Well needless to say Hanna loved it. Friday she woke up and was so mad that she did not have school. With her four day weekend she was really hard to live with. I was so happy to let her get on that bus Tuesday! She says that her favorite thing about school is " Painting a picture and snacks."
