Lots of news!

We've had a fun couple of weeks and I should have blogged some of this sooner, but it's been a busy couple of weeks!

First of all, Owen wore underwear to church on Sunday!! He's been doing pretty good about going potty at home, but has never worn underwear out of the house until Sunday. When he woke up in the morning, he wanted to go pee-pee in the potty and then really wanted to wear his underwear, so I let him. I tried to get him to wear his plastic ones over the regular ones in case of an accident, but he doesnt like those, so he didnt want to. But he did great! Not one accident the whole time we were gone from 8am-3:30pm!! Amazing! He still wont go at school unless I help him, but hopefully that will come soon. I can't wait to stop buying quite so many diapers!!

The kids have been so cute together lately. As I think I've mentioned before, Ella is a climber. She LOVES climbing up on stuff and standing on top and letting go. It's cute, but terrifying to think that she's gonna be able to climb higher and higher every day! Her favorite thing to climb on is Owen's little chair from IKEA, but lately, she's figured out how to mount Owen's little fire truck and Thomas train and ride them around. She still can't really get it to go forward very well, but she's great at going backwards. :) Mostly, she loves for people to push her around. The other day I was pushing her around and it wore me out so I told her we had to take a break. Then Owen started pushing her around and it was so cute!! I dont remember which one she was riding, but we got a video that we will post. It's so adorable. I love that he's interested in playing with her. He also loves to make her laugh and it's so funny some of the things he does to get her to giggle and it's funny what things make her giggle. :) I love watching them grow up together!

Ella's birthday is Saturday! I can't believe she's already 1!! It seems like just a couple of weeks ago that we found out she was on her way. She's such a delight and becomes more and more delightful every day! She's such a happy baby (or almost toddler now!!) and she just makes us smile all the time.

I'm sure I've got more to write about, but I can't think of it now, so I'll write more later!
