Weekend highlights

I am going to spare you a picture of the act, but I am posting a picture of the culprit!

Two words......potty training! This child of "firsts" did it again! Joel has recently become aware of his bodily functions. He has started tinkling on request. Tonight we wanted to show Daddy this new ability. Into the bathroom we go, all excited because of the audience. I place Joel on the potty. Huge grin covering his entire face. We all hear lots of grunting, but no other noises. Jeff and I cheer him on and wait and wait. Nope, must not be happening this time. I get Joel off the toilet and we head for the door. I turn around to talk to Joel and I hear him grunting some more. He knew he had to go and he was determined to do it. Yep....squatting right in front of the toilet he went for us......RIGHT ON COMMAND!? Aren't kids great!

I spent most of my weekend at a reunion for Life Action Alumni. Not being an alumni yet made me feel a little out of place at first, but within a few hours I was having the time of my life! I was able to meet people that I recognized, but never really knew before. It was a very special time for me. I was also able to add on about five of the pounds that I had lost! My body just feels yucky. I can't wait to start eating right again tomorrow morning. (Karen, if I eat ANY sweets tomorrow, I owe you $10.00! Don't you dare give me something chocolate to eat!)

I talked to both of my parents.

I laughed a lot!!!

This was an awesome weekend!! Thank you Lord for friends and family.
