Relay For Life

For the second year, Corinne took part in Relay For Life in order to raise money for the American Cancer Society. She was able to raise quite a bit this year! The evening began with a small ceremony, and then the survivors got to walk the first lap. Corinne was the smallest survivor last year, and was again this year. We thank God that she is a survivor and that we can take part in this event!


This was the survivor lap.

She walked several laps around the track.

Each year the survivors get to make a hand print on a banner.

Once it got dark, the track became lined with luminaries to honor those who have passed, those who are fighting their battle with cancer, and those who have won the battle.

All Done!

Caleb learned how to say "all done" today using sign language. We've been showing him how to do it for months, and today he finally decided to join in the fun! Warning: We are all very excited in this video!

New sleeping arrangments

This was Corinne's last night in her crib. We often have to pry books out of her hands while she sleeps!

Here is the new home for Corinne's crib. Caleb's old crib went to Grandma's house.

And here is Corinne's new "Big Girl" bed! We bought it second hand and then Glen refinished it to make it match her other furniture. She loves it!

When we put her down for her first nap in her "big girl bed" we listened to her play in her room for almost 3 hours before we went up and intervened. This is what we found....

Potty and dancing....

What do these two things have in common? Nothing.....but they both happened a lot at our house this week! We've been testing the potty training waters for quite some time now with Corinne, but up until now she has never really acted interested. This past week, she decided on her own that she would use the "big girl potty" all the time and has been so great about running to the bathroom (or wherever the potty is at the time) when she has to go! Such a big girl!! One out of diapers....one to go!



For the first couple days, the potty went where Corinne went, but now we've moved it back to the bathroom!

No better time to get some reading done!

Caleb started "dancing" this week.
