I know we tried potty training for a couple months ago for a day or so but we quit. However, last night ( Read more... )

My mother's new obsession is saltwater fish tanks, and it's a bug that has bit us all. It all started with my sister's freshwater tank. Finnegan kept throwing things in the fish tank. One day, we noticed her fish had died, probably because Finn hit it was something he threw in, but obviously I can't prove it (today he threw my $40.00 cordless ( Read more... )

Nothing much has been happening in our lives lately. The kids are growing, Chris is working, I'm cleaning, and we both go to school. That is about all I guess. Well, there are details to our daily life but I've been so worn out I haven't been able to really write about them, and with no major events happening there just really isn't anything to ( Read more... )

She is still trying as hard as she can to crawl but with no luck as far as forward, she can however crawl backward. She does move around on the ground ( Read more... )

Finnegan finally learned how to say no in a way that actually sounds like no, he used to say no something like nnnneah, sort of like yeah. It is so cute, I have never known anyone who could make me smile just by saying "no." Everytime he says it, I smile. His face is so sweet and innocent and he'll look at you with this expression and say, "no ( Read more... )
