Seattle Trip, part 1.

 Such a great weekend.  We actually started it off at the doctors office bright and early Friday morning.  The girls were as cute as can be, it was the first time they had Ava wear a gown, she didn't know how to feel about that.
   Next we hit up Target.  We are all about the safety around here, clearly!
 After all that fun stuff we had a lovely visit from my Mom, who has been out of town the last 3 weeks & Linda.  It was fun to play with them both before we ventured out on our long drive to Seattle.  

This trip was extra special, not only was it a long weekend but we were all celebrating John's sister Celia's birthday!  We had a very nice dinner with John's family, it was really great to see all of them & catch up.  

In the morning the girls danced, as they do.  Love that.


I treasure their silly adorableness.
 Saturday we went Go Kart racing, which everyone loved!  I didn't drive since I had the littles to watch but we were still really entertained. 


We got to play pool with grandma!

We had fun taking pictures on the winners platform, although this was pre-race.


 Karl & John were neck & neck the whole time & both really competitive, it was fun watching them duke it out for first place! 
 Daddy wins!  Yay!
 We celebrated with a little Jamba, got to love that.

 Ava adores Auntie C!
 How much are those doggies in the window??
 John with his parents, love them so much.

Next we went over to Anne's house for dinner, which was really nice too.
 Norah made herself right at home by laying under the table, oh how fun to be two!
 We went on a nice walk around Anne's beautiful neighborhood, so fun!

We love our Seattle trips, and this was no exception.  Many more photos to come...

Hope everyone had a great weekend too!

Adventures in Potty Training...

Image
I began potty training Ava right around the time she turned one. I broke out the potty and began encouraging away. She faked interest in the beginning but soon it became apparent that the child was a little hopeless, to say the least. Throughout the year that followed I realized that this strong willed child would need a little more time, as well as mom backing the heck off. Before she turned two I came across a blog a mom was writing who made a bold statement of parents simply being lazy if they aren't potty training their kids very quickly. I was so mad about when I read that but also felt like maybe she was right all at the same time. It motivated me to simply take away Ava's diapers and sort of force her into being ready. I spent the entire day encouraging her as she had accident after accident. She managed to pee in her potty about 4 times and everywhere else about 347 times. I was so stressed out, so was she. At one point she peed on the floor and looked up at me
