Counters and Panties


Well we have had an exciting week at our house. We had our counters installed last Monday and I am really enjoying them. It is hard to believe that we went almost a year and a half without any counters. It's so nice to be able to wipe the counters with a cloth and not have them pop off when you lean on them. It's amazing what you get used to. I would post a picture, but I refuse to download any more pictures to my computer until the others are on disc which seems to be more difficult than it should be. Once I get my pictures organized I will post before and after pictures of the kitchen. We still have a few little things to do, but we are very close to the end of the kitchen saga.

The next excitement is the Panties. Adaline has been in underwear since Thursday and has only had one accident a day and made it through the night last night dry!! I'm excited to have 6 months with no diapers until the next one gets here. Adaline is hilarious to watch on the potty. She likes to go on the big toilet and she won't use a stool but climbs up on top so that she is standing and straddling the toilet and then sits down. The other day she came to me to tell me that her foot had fallen in. She is so funny!! I try not to watch as it makes me nervous, but it's funny because she is so small. This go around of toilet training has gone much more smoothly, but that seems to be Adaline's way.

I just keep adding random pictures until I get some more recent ones on the computer. This is Eliza way back in February, but a blog is more fun with pictures.

Family pictures




My sister Esther took some pictures of our family a few weeks ago. We had lots of fun and got some great shots.

Two votes for a boy

Well, the girls have talked about the new baby coming more than I thought they would. They are always wanting to kiss the baby (my tummy) and brainstorm ideas for what to name it. Eliza is often asking when it is coming, and then says that she is too excited to wait. The current vote is for a boy, but it definitely varies. Adaline has started praying for a baby boy. We had our first midwife appointment this week and heard the heart beat which was exciting and comforting. We have two new midwives this time plus Maura who has delivered both our babies. We are excited to get to know them. We are also excited that Midwifery will be covered in Alberta as of April 1st. So if any of you were thinking of making the switch, nows the time. We're not sure how much will be covered for us for this baby, but it is a promising change. So I guess that I'm going to have to change my blog to "A bicycle built for five"!!!
