On friends & chupis

Here are a few randoms left from our trip to Iowa that I never put up on the blog.  We spent the last few days of our Iowa trip at our besties' house.  The kids picked up right where we left off and we finally got to meet and snuggle their newest addition Molly!

Claire asked Liam more than once, 'Will you be my husband?'  He never agreed to it... ;)

Oh, how I love this woman!


In other news, Emma is well on her way to being potty trained.  Can I get an awww yeah?!?  I always had the 'sometime after Christmas' time frame in mind but honestly, even a week ago I wasn't sure she would be ready.  I would ask if she wanted to use the potty and she would usually say no.  Well, she used the potty two nights in a row before bed so yesterday I decided to go for it.  I'm a firm believer in the naked method and we are on our second day with no accidents so far.  Gooo Emma!  We decided to celebrate by heading to Target for some Diego chupis.  Unfortunately, even the boys' department didn't have Diego, so Emma settled for Ariel.

And I'll leave you with a sweet picture of my sweet girls.  Unknowingly, this was taken on Emma's last day in diapers.  ;)

Yeah!!! Go Emma! Another milestone. I'm sure Claire is a good role model for her. Great pictures, Annie.

Go Emma! no more diapers! I'm jealous of you Annie...no more diapers in my house means a VERY messy toilet to clean. Why do they miss ALL of the time?! hehe

Love the last picture of the girls! We are so proud of you, Emma! I can't believe Claire is making marriage proposals already! Silly girl.
