Our Weekend

Another wild and crazy weekend has flown by for us!!

We took our first mini-trip with Julia this weekend! She made her first drive out of town...to Springfield to visit her Great Grandpa and Judy! All and all, it was a great visit and a great drive. Both Alex and Julia slept on the way there and back! It was peaceful!

Our only trouble came with our side excursion to 'Sonic.' Matt has been telling Daddy for years that 'Sonic' has a great Coke, so Daddy has been nagging Mommy to let him go to 'Sonic.' Well, first we got lost (Mommy should have listened to the directions Great Grandpa was giving Daddy--Daddy has no sense of direction) and then Daddy decided that 'Sonic' was a "JuBelt's 'Part Two.'" It's a long story...but we aren't sure if Daddy is going to continue to trust Matt with his culinary suggestions!

Auntee Tonya, Auntee Karen, and Uncle Ben came for a visit late Saturday night. Both Alex and Julia spent a little time with them before going to bed! Mommy and Daddy enjoyed laughing into the wee hours of the next morning with great friends!

Finally, after a long weekend, we all packed into the car (Duke, too!) to get ice cream to help celebrate Alex's continuing success with potty training. The quality time prize system seems to be really working...Alex had his first full successful day today of using the potty, no accidents, and no diapers!!

Sonic is great. And I look forward to the potty training phase - how's it going for him? Currently D waves at his poo and says "Bye!" when we flush it down the toilet (we're doing cloth diapers) so that's a start.
