When Elijah & Elizabeth came with me home from Africa last December, Elizabeth was basically potty-trained. A few accidents here and there, but she was doing great! Of course, less than 4 weeks later the fire happened, she regressed and it all went out the window. I didn’t push it, frankly, I had plenty to…

Blogs serve all kinds of purposes including just letting your friends in on what’s going on at the house… The big kids finally crawled out of bed…..I just love having them home so it was hard to keep waiting for them to wake. I was tempted to let the little ones “play” outside their door,…
