May 22 - May 28
Great News!
Lily is potty-trained! Not too sure how it happened, but it did. On Monday, May 22nd I put "Big Girl Undies" on Lily and she just went to the potty when she needed to! Not one accident! I kept asking her if she needed to and she gave me that look that I thought was reserved for when she was a teenager that said "Mom, you just don't get it." The next day she had one accident because I closed the door to her room and she didn't know what to do. After that, she had it all figured out and we've been "mostly" good since! WAY TO GO, LILY!
New Song
It's WAY cuter to hear Lily sing it, but here's a new song she made up while driving in the car.
"I love my Lucy, BOUNCY BOUNCE!"
"I love my Seat, BOUNCY BOUNCE!"
"I love the trees, BOUNCY BOUNCE!"
"I love my Mommy, BOUNCY BOUNCE!"
The song goes on and on with whatever she sees that she loves. It's also very catchy and Lucy and I sing it quite often!
Sick
I have spent too much time these past two weeks being unearthly sick. NUFF said! Thank goodness Mem, Bev and Lucy were here to take pictures! Actually, they were here to visit and Lucy is staying for a month to help out and enjoy some time with her cousins in Kansas. She started a blog of her trip here and got some great pics! www.lucysword.blogspot.com
All of these pics are from Aunt Bev; probably why you won't see her in any of them. Thanks Aunt Bev and Mem for everything! Other than being sick, I'm so glad you could come up and visit!

Hi Jennifa!
Love the pics! Jon looks like Alfalfa (Spanky & Gang)with that little piece of hair sticking up--he actually has hair--and it's red! The pics are great and it looks like everyone is having a great time! I hope Lucy is enjoying her visit with you all. I'm going to check out her blog next. The play area looks like you own your own park. Guess you don't have to travel too far to keep them amused! Love you and miss you all lots. Looking forward to my visit at the end of the month!

The pics are great. Jon looks like Danny...well I think so anyway.
Potty trained early...life is great. It will even be better after Jon is trained. Sorry Jen, boys usually take longer.
The kids have a great place to play..and so does Mom and Dad. The yard looks great.
Bye for now. Love, Dianne

The Blog Police are out looking for you right now! NO UPDATES??? I think it is because I haven't posted, but that's because I was there - I took all the pictures! But if I need to comment, what cute pictures, no what cute kids! They are just so cute and so much fun. Loud, but fun!!! I wonder if Lucy is adjusting to the loud screams of Jon yet?!? And no photos, but a cute story, Lucy tried to teach Lily how to play hide and seek. Everytime Lily hid, she would either cough and give her position away or Lucy would start looking and say, where is that Lily... and out would pop Lily saying ... here I am! It was just too cute to see! Hope you are all feeling better! Miss you all, need to see new photos!
Love Aunt Bev
