What a crazy week!

Well, its mid-week and boy has this week been really nuts!
My poor hubby has been working lots of overtime since sunday so i haven't seen much of him lately. And Sunday night I came down with a very sore throat, by Tuesday, I was miserable so I called my OB. I went in and come to find out I had strep throat and an ear infection!! WOW I so wasn't expecting that!
So I've been put on antibiotics and rest for a few days, however Chris has yet to get a break!

Potty training is still.... very much a work in progress. Kaylee has lost the 'new' excitment she had, but she has gone a few more times on the potty, but with me being sick this week, I haven't had the energy to really work on it at all with her.

Kaylee has gotten very smart and vocal lately. She amazes me at the things she says these days. Its so amazing to see her grown up and learn new things. I can't wait to see what her little brother or sister will be like, much less what they will be like together!!

I leave Saturday for a trip to New Orleans with work. I'm going alone, which is a mixture of feelings. I've only been away from Kaylee and Chris for 3-4 days once before on my cruise back in Sept.07. But this will be the first time I am flying all alone, chris has always flown with me... so this will be a new experience for me. I am sorta looking forward to a little 'me' time, but I don't really know what to expect in New Orleans. I'll post all about it when I return.

Our New adventure!!! Potty Training!

Well, for the last few months we've been reading books about "the potty" and Kaylee's interest has finally peaked to where last night at Walmart she insisted on buying a potty, so we did.
When we got home she could hardly wait to sit on her potty. She loves the thing and wants to sit on it constantly!!
Last night she went peepee in the potty for the first time and I had to do the silly happy mommy dance. It was an amazing experience! Then this morning she wanted to sit on the potty again, and went 2x before school. She is so excited about it, its hard to get her to eat, sleep, play or anything except sit on the potty.

So this weekend we are going to have lots of fun with kaylee learning to use the potty! I'm so excited about this new adventure we are going through. We are really excited that she's excited because hopefully that will make it easier. I know we have a long road ahead, but so far we are off to a good start.... and we'll see what this weekend holds!
I'll try to post pictures of kaylee and her potty soon.

Family Vacation to Edisto Island

We returned Sunday from our trip to Edisto Island last week. We had such a wonderful time. Edisto is very quiet and remote, there isn't alot to there, infact there is no hotels or chain resturants at all. Everything there is locally owned and it is a wonderful atmosphere! We really love it there. The beaches aren't crowded and everyone is friendly. Kaylee loved the beach! ALthough this was her second trip, it was the first one she could really enjoy. She loved the ocean and waves. She would run in and out of them and sit and splash in them as they came up on shore. She also loved to dig and play in the sand. She didn't try to eat it this year though!

We mostly spent the days at the beach or pool and took afternoon naps and ate alot of fresh caught seafood!

Here are a few pictures from our trip- we hope you enjoy!
