Gary and I finally got away for an overnight trip without the kids. Last time we were away overnight without the kids- 3 years ago! Oops! How did 3 years go by before we managed to do that? We had a nice night and it was much needed for both of us.
Today I got to see my brother-in-law. He recently came home from Iraq. It was good to see him. He is pretty much the only one of G's siblings that I like and talk to. I knew he was home safe- but it is much better to be able to see him in person and chat for a few minutes.
Riley and the potty is...well, it is going. We have some good days, we have some not so good days. My son - like all things in his life- marches to his own beat. The boy has figured out the pooping on the potty thing, but not peeing. This is not the normal pattern- but, what else would I expect from my little man. And, hey, pee pants are a lot easier to clean up than the other stuff, so for now, we are still working on it and happy he has part of the process figured out.
I've been hanging out on Facebook a lot lately. If we're not FB friends- add me. :) If you are not on FB- join up- it's fun. Then add me as a friend :)
Ashlyn is loving summer. She has really been into playing basketball and soccer outside lately. She figured out how to dribble the basketball and does it well! For a 5 year old, I think she is doing awesome with it! We bought her a pink soccer ball and she has been having fun kicking that around too. All this soccer and basketball practice should count as my exercise, right?
Gary is gearing up for his new job. He has taken care of a lot of the paperwork and things he needed to do to begin being principal in July. He is going to do a great job- and hey, if anyone needs a job as a teacher, I know a principal, I can put in a good word for you :)
Tomorrow we leave for vacation to go visit G's parents for a week. We stay until after the 4th and then head home. It isn't my favorite vacation- but I guess I can't complain too much since I did get my week at the beach. I'm not big on the bugs and mountain life- but the kids have a great time and that is what is important. Not sure if I will be on the computer or not- they have upgraded from dial up to high speed internet- but I'm not sure I will get on the computer much.
Enjoy your 4th of July!

You have been busy lately! I am so glad you and Gary got away together. I think it's so important to remember to focus on our marriages. We so often leave that for last. Glad you had a good time!!
glad you got away... I truly believe this is a very important thing as a mother. hope your week away goes smoothly
Glad you got away. Hopefully this week will go quickly and then you can be graced with my presence for the month of July. :-)
Yay for getting away just the two of you! We were away for our anniversary last June and it was so nice. Enjoy your trip to the inlaws!
YAY!!! I'm so happy you got away!! So sorry I haven't been by lately. . . I've had a crazy few weeks here on the home front!! So, this is probably late, but I LOVE your new blog layout!! It's adorable and summer-y and just totally fun!
Hope you get a chance to relax! Potty training has been tricky business here too.
Yes, take it from me -- poopy underwear are much more difficult to clean up than ones with just pee in them! Malia made sure I learned that!! :)
