Spring in the PNW

It's been a while since I've posted but we've been very busy. A jaunt to the beach, A started tball, which she LOVES! RT is into another baseball season, H is finished with swimming and basketball commitments and has some time to play more (and do more homework!) and little B got potty trained!

I was expecting another long, drawn out affair of pull-ups, thick training pants, accidents, being housebound, etc. etc., but no. The first day we put underwear on her, she had accidents ALL day long, but after that she just got the hang of it right away! I guess it helps having 3 older siblings....
So now she truly is not a BABY anymore! But of course she will always be OUR baby!

We are also planning out our month long vacation to the east coast to visit grandma & grandpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins...lots of cousins! Just before we leave, RW's brother, Uncle J, is coming to live with us as he did last summer, to work on projects around the house...new windows, new fences, landscaping....to name a few. He is in college and a lot of fun to have around.....MOST of the time! Not sure why he wants to come back after last summer....kids hanging on him and big brother bossing him....but anyway, I got a new kitchen out of it so if he wants to come back that's fine with me!

And a sad note, RW's aunt passed away last month after a short bout with cancer. She was a very kind and funny person and she will be dearly missed by everyone who had the pleasure to know her. She was definitely a 'glass is half-full' type of person, even after her diagnosis. We will never forget her.
