Reasons to celebrate

Our reasons to celebrate this week:

1. Thursday we found out that we are having a little boy. He is healthy, and quite active for such a little guy. We are thankful for a good report and Dan is excited about adding another boy to the team. He is already dreaming about two on two basketball games, doubles tennis and more.

It's a boy!

2. Dan finally finished the updates to our room this weekend. He painted the trim and door leading out to our porch and hung the ceiling fan. I cleaned the carpet in our bedroom. While Atticus peed on later that day....but we are finally done.

3. Despite the fact that I just said that Atticus peed on our carpet the other day, as of today I can offically say that he is potty trained. It took him longer than Isaiah, which is not a really big surprise since he is my more "strong-willed" child. But he has finally got the hang of it and we have been accident free for three days now. I feel like I have won the lottery. I can't even begin to tell you how freeing it is to have the twins out of diapers! And thankfully I will get a few months off before baby boy 3 makes his arrival.

So Saturday night we took the boys to Chili's to celebrate...and because I had a coupon. I am very proud to say that I am turning into my mother a little more every day. We enjoyed free chips and salsa while we waited for our food. Isaiah actually liked the salsa, so much that I moved the bowl closer to him. The boys did pretty well, despite all of the distractions. And I enjoyed not having to cook for the night. We are thankful for the big and small blessings that we have received this week.
