So on the 17th we had a really nice day outside, so I let the small ones out in the backyard to play. Unfortunately even though it was in the 60s, there was still ice on the ground. Anyways here are the short ones playing in the backyard enjoying the nice warm weather.

So Desmond wanted to look at pictures today. I put up a slide show of some pictures from last year, and he saw a picture of Dan.

Desmond: “That my Daddy.”

The next picture was a picture of my Dad, Desmond’s Grandpa. So it came up and I said: “That’s my Dad.”

Desmond looked at me and told me: “No, that Pom, he Nonnie’s Friend.”

So there you have it, Pom is Nonnie’s friend, maybe we should work a bit on the whole relationship thing, then again his description works too, well at least when Nonnie isn’t yelling at her friend!

Here are some pictures of Desmond, Eloise, my Father in Law and Dan in our backyard playing in the snow that we got at the end of January. We got about 9 inches of snow, which was a nice snow storm, and made me happy. I like a good snow fall during the winter, they are nice to have three or four times a winter.

Sorry about that, I’ve been sick and unmotivated to post. I have posted some pictures on facebook, but not much here.

Let’s see quick updates. Less then a month till Eloise turns 2, baby boy is due in 6 weeks now, 7 weeks till Desmond turns 4! I’ve had a cold/bronchitis/sinus infection since January 27th or so, hopefully it has started clearing up now. Three plus weeks is just too long to be continuously sick/not feeling great. I missed my nephew’s baby naming because of it, since both Dan and I were sick enough that we thought flying down was a bad plan. We did make my Grandmother’s 80th birthday party because everyone felt decent that weekend. Had fun there and did get to meet my nephew which was nice, so missing his baby naming wasn’t quite as bad.

Both the small ones are doing good, Eloise never got the cold/illness really, Desmond got it but has been better for almost 2 weeks now other then a lingering cough. It has hit me the hardest, I blame the pregnancy.

Other then that not much going on, since I’ve been sick so we haven’t really been doing much obviously. Hope to get out this weekend so we can pick up the couple of things left that we need for baby boy before he arrives, including his car seat.

Oh Desmond is potty trained. I am finally willing to call him 100% day trained, he decided he was ready the last week of December. He is about 90% night trained as well. He has an occasional night time accident, but generally stays dry all night long. It is so nice to only have one in diapers right now, at least for 5 or 6 more weeks. I am hoping Eloise trains this summer, but I am so not doing anything to push it after the whole Desmond taking 18 months to train thing, so we’ll see.
