Two Peas in a Pod

Over memorial day weekend we went back to Ruthven. Beth and the kids came too so Josie and Nick got to play. They are quite the pair. Here are some pictures of them together. Enjoy!

The Kids

As for the kids. Emily will be 9 months on the 10th and is the happiest baby I have ever seen! She finally decided to start eating some baby food. It took until she turned 8 months until she decided it wasn't that bad. Still no teeth yet- but I think we are getting closer! She has started a little crawling- but hasn't really taken off yet- but it won't be long. She likes to roll around on the floor and "wrestle" with her brother. It is so funny to watch them both giggle. As for Nicker, he is a little talker- especially if some stranger comes to the house (ie- the cable guy) he followed him around and talked his ear off. But if it is family he turns into a shy little boy? He has taken well to the move- I think understands the reasoning behind what is going on. He knows our "old" house and where the new house is and calls this townhome "the rental" Kinda cute. We are still struggling with the potty training. I may have to call in sick for a week and just work with him one on one every day to get this down. Cheerios worked for a little bit- but I am running out of time and ideas! He is supposed to start pre-school in the fall and has to be potty trained. Any suggestions out there I am open to them! Otherwise we are all doing well. Anxiously awaiting the new house and looking forward to the summer to fly by!!

House

Well, looks like I missed a couple months in my updates- been a little busy... imagine that! First off we sold our house in a week back in March and just moved into a temporary townhome until our house is finished. Moving was not fun- as it never is but I was smart and hired some guys to move the furniture! The townhouse is not a bad set up. We can deal with it for a while. As for the new house. They have dug ground and poured the footings and walls. So it's a start. They told us originally that Oct. 31st it would be done- so we will cross our fingers! Here are some pics of the old house and then Nick helped his dad stake our new house a while back. What a big helper he is!
