Peachy.



Finn wouldn't eat the cut up peaches in his highchair, but as soon as we got him out he devoured Grandma's whole peach.

My Boys.


Potty Time

See How Big I Am?

Seamus has FINALLY crossed over into the land of the potty trained. I cannot explain in any way that doesn't sound psychotic how great this feels. I'm not claiming that we're completely done with accidents, but he totally "gets it" now, which is a HUGE milestone. Grandma Barbara spent two days with him and we had him whipped into shape in no time (like I said before, not sure what I would have done without Grandma).

My favorite part of the potty training saga was arriving after a long and hot drive to the lake, Seamus went straight down to the beach and into the water. After a few minutes he looked a little anxious and ran up to me: "Need to go potty, Mamma!" He was looking urgent so we headed into Uncle Eric's cabin and he proceeded to resolve a lot of digestive issues (maybe an entire strawberry shake was a bit too much for a two year old). In any case, Seamus's visit to Eric's one room cabin lingered for quite some time for all 9 family members. Seamus told Eric as we walked back down to the beach "Welcome to the lake."

Hee hee.

Remodel Mania: Part Deux





How Happy Are These Boys?


"I Go With Her?"


Sorry for the long delay in photos - we've been soaking up Grandma time for the last week. We took Barbara to the airport yesterday afternoon and Seamus cried most of the rest of the day. We felt very spoiled by all the treats, love and attention. Not only was it great to have Grandma around, but I ended up having a little bit of a crazy week with the remodel (i.e. plumber was upstairs, pedestal broken, toliet doesn't fit...) So really, I'm not sure what I would have done without another set of hands around to take care of the boys. I'll post some more pictures throughout the day - unfortunately I didn't take as many photos as I should have (which happens when you're just having too much fun).
