Nothing new

Well I don't really have too much to share about. Emma has fun moving her potty around, and she likes to be able to sit on it, but not much other then that. It was funny though Sat. am, we asked her if she would like to sit on the potty, with that she proceeded to get undressed, so we sat her on the potty seat on the toilet. She sat there for 1/2 an hour, just playing with her feet, singing, and then she wanted off. She didn't do anything, but she sure had a nice red ring around her butt - hehe.

Onto other things, we looked at a house last week, and it was okay, but too me it seemed like it was going to be a costly endeavor so we passed on it. We are looking at another place tonight its out in the country, and they haven't given us a quote yet, so we'll see.

This week is the annual motorcycle show down in Minneapolis. Ryan is going to go with his brothers, I have to say that I'm a bit dissappointed. I kind of wanted to go too, but instead Emma and I will go visit her auntie and cousins. We will have a great time too, so we aren't too upset.

This week was our 4th anniversary and Ryan brought me home some beautiful roses!! MMM, I just love having roses in the house they are soo beautiful! We had pizza for supper I( another one of my favorites), and went over to our neighbors for dessert. Not too exciting but still nice.

Well gotta jet, me Emma's woken up from her nap :)

Okay So we bought a potty :)

Now what???

Emma has been a doll, she takes off her diaper, sits on the potty and goes pee, and tells me everytime!

Okay snap out of it!!!!

well it doesn't go that smoothly, although I wish it would :) Am I in dream land or what? So we've got the "take off your diaper" part down pat, and she even sits on the potty, but now what? We both look at each other "like what am I suppose to be doing now?" look. I guess I'll have to do some more reading, and like now, I'll ask some of you more experienced potty trainers for some help. Would love to hear some good advice or any advice for that matter :)

its even got a spongy seat :)

Post Christmas

The last night in San Diego, we decided we needed to see a California sunset, it was beautiful!

Okay so we are staying in Warren, and we are looking for a place to live, but it doesn't look like there is much available around here, that isn't a fixer-upper. We are praying big time about this one. Can't really live in a one-bedroom apartment with two kids for too long.

We officially became members of our little country church last night. We have really enjoyed the people there and involved with ministry in our community. It was their annual meeting and it went kind of long, as usual Emma was the only little person there, but she did really well, and kept us entertained some :)

Doesn't this look like fun? I wasn't watching too closely was I?? She loves yogurt, and well she loves to put yogurt in her hair too. She hasn't done it for a while, so maybe she's grown out of it for now :).

A couple of weeks ago we were up every night, Emma cut through THREE teeth that week, she fevered, got blisters, diahrrea, you name it, she did it. She was pretty good during the day, but not so good when it came to night time, you could tell she was uncomfortable even when she was sleeping, poor girl. But she is doing really well since then.

Tonight I am taking my hubby out on a date. Its been a few weeks since we've been back from San Diego, and I thought it would be fun to go out again just us two. So Emma is going to visit Rochelle for the evening. Rochelle has three older kids, and she told me last night that they were all looking forward to having Emma for a few hours. She lives on the way to the Forks, so that works out perfectly!

The weather here has been terribly cold! Emma and I haven't left the house except in the car with Ryan. On Saturday we went to visit Jed, Karena and kids, that was a nice afternoon together. Got a wonderful meal, and some fun playing games. That evening we went to the General Baptist Conference - gathering, for a nice meal and alot of info, it was good to meet some other couples from other churches too.

So that's what we've been up to. THanks for stopping in and leaving comments.

Our News update

We are staying here in Warren. Ryan accepted the job as Loan Officer at Bremer Bank, and now we are trying to figure out what to do next. We need to find a bigger place as soon as we can, so we have been looking, but not much luck so far. We'll have to be praying about that. So now you know :)

Home again

We're home again. We had a nice trip to San Diego. Our first hotel ended up being a little bit trashy so Ryan insisted that we move to a nicer one, that night. We ended up in a Holiday Inn Express, in Old Town San Diego, about 5 - 10 minutes from everything (the airport, Seaworld, the ZOo, etc) we enjoyed our swimming pool, and hot tub each night, so that was nice. I missed Emma terribly, but was still able to function each day - hehe. I need to go, but I'll post pictures soon as I can. THanks for you prayers. We had a nice Christmas with the Dunham family and we're thankful to be home again.
