Pee pee on the Potty!

Pee pee on the potty! I bought Evan an Elmo video called Potty Time to begin getting Evan familiar with the potty, which matches his Elmo potty seat. I never thought I'd be excited to write about pi pi(spanish), but Evan just pi pi in his potty for the first time. It didn't even take an bribing! I've just been asking each time I go to change his diaper if he wants to pi pi, and then place him on the potty. Thanks for listening to this ridiculously excited mami.
By the way, our best friends Tony & Susie had their second daughter, Sophia Marie on March 16. She looks just like her big sister, Gabby....just beautiful.
Congrats guys!
Oh, for the first time Joel slept 6 hours straight last night. I'm off to bed early in hopes that it happens again. :)

Minutes to the mountains



These are images from Table Rock, and Caesar's Head park both which are only a twenty minute drive from our home in Easley. We really like how close we are to the mountains.

Nap time = Mommy time

Since Joel is currently taking a good nap I had to take this time to update our blog with photos of our first two weeks in South Carolina. Today it's snowing for the first time since we've arrived. I'm having a difficult time returning phone calls right now since Joel isn't a good sleeper yet, but I'm hoping that will soon change for the better. Evan is doing great. We've enrolled him in a Mom's Morning Out program starting in June. He'll be going to school twice a week from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I think he'll really enjoy it since he loves being around other children. I've taken him to several parks and playgrounds since we moved, and he says, "Hi" to every child he sees.
Joel is growing so fast. He's over ten pounds now, and that's because he eats like a champ! He doesn't have a two month appointment till April, so we'll have to wait a month for that. We've been able to get a doctor for the boys, and one for my check up too. Things are falling into place. As for Matt he really likes his job, and is glad to be working with only children. We will miss working with John and Tina Vairo. They were so good to us! We'll there's so much to say and I'm starting to ramble a bit. I'll let the photos do the talking.
