Once again...

Yes, it has been a long time AGAIN! Believe it or not, I was having a hard time logging in to my blog. So when I had difficulty, and had little time to post, I just gave up. Well...here I am, I finally figured it out.
Things have been a little crazy here. I have still been trying to work 2 times a week, especially with the school year ending. This makes finding childcare a little difficult, but someone always come through for us. And, my kids are pretty flexible.
On the potty training note: We are doing WELL. I don't want to get excited, because it will probably just backfire on me, but Josiah has had only 2 accidents since Thursday (not including sleeping time). I have been real consistent with putting him on the potty and making it a priority, and I think that he likes all the attention.
And lastly, it just hit me today how blessed I am. How good God is to me. I love my life, I love my family, and I LOVE my husband. He is so good to me and my kids. He treats me SO good, and nothing warms my heart more than when I see him love on our children. God is so awesome to bless me with a husband that provides for me, respects and loves me and our kids, and loves God above all else. Thank you Lord!

Long time....

Yeah, it has been a long time since I have had a post. I have been so busy! We had family here that just left on Monday, and I was working full time while they were here. I haven't had time to do the laundry, let alone post on my blog. Well I finished working on Wednesday, and it took me until now to even really get online.
Things are good...it is my daughter's 2nd birthday. Once again, the time has flown by. It's hard to even imagine her as a baby anymore.
Now that I am home I am working hard at the potty training thing with my 3 year old. Yesterday was a good day until after dinner when he went potty in his underwear. And then he went poop in his diaper. I guess I had not paid attention and forgot to ask him regularly to go to the bathroom. Today we started good again, we have gone potty every time in the potty, and we went poop before we went down for our nap.
We plan to go to a friend's house for the weekend and their 3 year old is potty trained. Maybe that will be what puts him over the edge. Let's hope!

3 Years....wow!

Well, tomorrow is my son's 3rd birthday and I cannot believe that it was 3 years ago that I was preparing to have him. He's a real little person! Wow...and he was in my belly? What a testimony to God and his creation that he could create a baby and how he grows into a little boy, and I know....eventually , a big boy. I can't imagine!
We have the family in now....and my kids are in their prime! They LOVE all the attention! Both grandparents here at our house, they are LOVING it! The only bad thing is...my son is SO excited, he refuses to sleep. NO naps, and it takes forever to wind down at night. But that is ok, because the grandparents are only here 2 times a year. We'll let them have fun for now. We are truly blessed! Thank you, God!

Visitors

We love having visitors! Living across the country from most of our family, my husband and I love to have visitors. And this week is a GREAT week because we are going to have visitors! Jonathan's parents come on Wednesday and my parents come on Thursday!
First off, most people probably think....whoa! You are going to have both sets of parents at your house at the same time? Yes! That is the beauty about both of our parents...they like spending time together. Isn't that great? It makes our time with them that much better. God is so awesome for blessing us with such great parents!
The second thing about our visitors coming is....it is Josiah's birthday this week, and Jordan's in 2 weeks. So, we will be celebrating both birthdays this weekend.
And what is even better? We get to celebrate our Saviour's resurrection this weekend too! What could be better? All of that in one week! Wow!
