Need Pictures

Sorry this post is pictureless! I'll put some up later on today...maybe. :) We just bought some property! It is not our dream location for our dream house, but we are trying to get out of renting and take advantage of low prices. The lot we purchased is in a development. It has a foundation already on it. There are 3 different styles of house in this small development, and I like the lay-out and size of ours the best. We close Wednesday and will spend the next several months working on it in the evenings and on the weekends. Hopefully we can get it up quickly and get into it soon!!

On another front, in case we didn't have enough going on with a new baby and starting a new house, we are potty training Wade. He has been in big boy underwear for a week now. He was only 2 years and 2 days old when we decided to start. The decision was made when Wade put his hand into a messy diaper. Daddy told him he was all done with diapers!! The first few days he was having lots of accidents, but we turned the corner a couple of days ago, and he hasn't had an accident since. He wears a diaper at nap and at night. He likes to sing songs and read a story while he is trying to go. A jelly bean reward is also helpful. He tells us, "We don't go potty in our pants, that be drossies (grossies)."

He and Tristan still play ball for about 75% of their day. Mostly basketball, some baseball lately (Spring training), and a little tackle football. We have been driving their Escalade a lot and walking a lot. We are eagerly awaiting warm weather again, we are in a cold burst. Julie and Sam's wedding is coming up in 3 weeks, so we have lots of exciting things happening! I'll post baby Owen pictures and maybe some of our new property soon!
