Hey Chandra.....

Yes, I'm still here. It's just hard for me to get on to blog because both laptops are down. Mine still has the jacked up keyboard, thanks to Alli and the Michael's power cord fritzed out us. It was actually smoking and burned me before we stopped using it. We tried to get a universal power cord, but it didn't work so we took it back. Then Michael got the bright idea to try to solder it back together....it didn't work either. So now, I have to come all the way upstairs and use the desktop if I want to blog....terrible I know.

Sooo, what's been going on here? Potty training is going GREAT!! We had a really bad day last Thursday...actually everything about that day was terrible, and since then we've had only had a few accidents. Most of those on the day and the day after Alli got sick. I'm very proud of her.

That horrible Thursday was also the day that I knocked over almost an entire can of paint on our hardwood floors. Thankfully, most of it came up. The exception being the stuff in the cracks. It was bad, I was covered in paint, the 2 girl cats got their tails in it and got in on the couch....that hasn't came out.

Piper is still growing leaps and bounds. She is in the beginning stages of pulling herself up. I think she might start walking earlier than Allisyn did, I'm not sure I'm ready for that. Allisyn is a WONDERFUL big sister and helps Piper get things and watches her for me when I need to get stuff done. Piper is under the impression that she can eat anything so you have to be very careful while eating around her or she will do such things like steal french fries off your plate.

Today the first of 9 days off for Michael! He is taking some vacation time. Today and tomorrow his dad and brother Steve are here helping start the assembly of the girls' new play set. The SKY FORT is it's name. The ran into a big snafu right off when they were missing one of the biggest base boards. They are improvising with a piece from Home Depot until we can get it replaced.

Yesterday we got a wonderful visit from Katy. She was here from Spring Sing at OC and spent a good part of the day with us! The girls absolutely adore her and were happy to get to spend some time with her.

Other random tidbits.... I joined a Bunco group! We had our first official Bunco night last night, it was sooo much fun!! I will definitely be looking forward to it every month!

***BREAKING NEWS**** Piper just pulled her self all the way up on my computer chair!! Now she is in my lap to grab Puck who is sitting on the desk.

I'm sure there is other stuff but it is really hard to type with a squirmy baby in my lap.....
