changes

So I've got a little less to change lately...corban's potty training- and doing really quite well. It's been about 6 days now and he's getting used to the whole bit. 1 & 2 on the potty are now old hat and he goes without me asking. I just hope it sticks. There are many changes to come, but we'll take it all in stride.
ps. I read a few choice chapters in the book of mormon the other day- Alma chapters 32-34. Faith building anyone???

August (so far): Spray painting mirrors {come get your hair done to see for yourself :) } Organizing the front room, the basement, and the rest of the house, Gabe 6 mo (on the 16) Corban=one sick puppy (possibly strep- but then got a negative test result) Gabe=another sick puppy (explosive diapers if you catch my drift) then vomiting three days later (my wonderful neighbor florence came and took corban for me {because he wouldn't stop looking at all the vomit everywhere so he was about to be sick} and that allowed me to get myself and gabe all cleaned up) Jack's now sick as a dog with whatever it was that corban had, I'm sick too but that's nothing-I gotta keep going. My mom came over to rescue me from the MOUNTAIN of laundry and all the sickies- she brought cafe rio and helped with organizing and laundry and corban and gabe! what a life saver!

That's about it for now. I'm done venting. maybe I'll add photos maybe not... we'll see.
