We'll try to get caught up...

Oh my gosh, you're not dreaming. I really did post. I know, shocker right? So here's the thing. We had family in town for about 1 1/2 weeks, were out of town for another 1 1/2 weeks, got sick in Idaho and spent a week recovering after we got back, and then had another week without any really good excuses. In my wussy defense, I have tried to post 3 times in the last few days and had multiple technical problems. It's not important though, because now we're getting to a real post! Aaron's brother Garth and his wife Kiery came to visit us about a month ago and we had tons of fun. The girls loved the extra attention and Sydney in particular loved having them here. She may have started calling him grandpa instead of Garth for a bit, but we finally got that sorted out!

We all went to the zoo while they were here and we had a great time seeing the animals and having fun.
Sydney having a great time playing the drums with Auntie Kiery. Picture Perfect.
Sydney has been playing dress up more lately too. She's got such great fashion sense.
The next week Grammy came to visit and got to spend lots of time with the girls. They, again, loved all the attention and I loved all the chances I got to leave by myself. Shocker right?

Mady has also become a pro at sitting up by herself. Usually if she falls over now, it's because she wants to!

Oh, I almost forgot to include the potty training update you've all been waiting for. After the intial excitement of day 1, Sydney started to rebel and make some messes not in the potty on purpose. I realized she wasn't going to be a quick one and was not comfortable taking her on a long trip half potty trained, so we've spent the last few weeks getting her used to the potty. Now that we're back with no trips ahead of us, we're ready to give it a try again soon. Stay tuned for the exciting drives to and from Idaho, Sydney's birthday, and lots of more great pictures!
