PEE-PEE FOR EMBREE!!!

At 22 months old we have our FIRST pee-pee in the potty! Lately ECV has been wanting to mimic how we sit on the potty. It's not easy with a diaper so sometimes we honestly pull her pants down and leave the diaper on. She wipes just the same and feels accomplished. Just now before bath we let her sit and BAM!! The last time she saw the three of us squeal like that was when she took her first steps. Woot woot little one!!

Big People Dance

Last night SKV and I hit up a little kids dance and tonight Kevin and I are hitting up our yearly big kid dance-for the kids. :)

First Dance

SKV went to the middle school dance with me and perfected her wallflower skills. About 40 minutes before it ended she found her running legs though. :)

PJs

I am thrilled that SKV put on these "little" pjs for me. ECV isn't nearly as excited.

It makes her seem like a baby again-a very tall one. Let me have my moment.

Warm January Day

We took a bit to enjoy the warm weather. ECV has clearly become more aware of SKVs driving skills. She held on to the windshield the whole time.

Education

ECV is educating Jackson. He didn't sit for this long, baby steps folks!

State/Carolina

For Kevin's birthday we got together with the Freeman's to watch the game. Here's a house divided. Or family rather.

First time skating

We enjoyed Kiya's birthday at the rink. Both girls enjoyed their first time skating.

Snow/Ice Day

Picture 1 Caption: This is my smile.

We didn't get inches of snow but our street was pretty well covered by
enough wintry-goodness that the neighborhood kids emerged for the day. We spent a little bit of time outside. Both girls came down the hill with Daddy-neither loving it.

Meanwhile we are waiting for the sky to dump loads of snow. Any day now. :)

Old School Phone

Possibly the first time SKV has listened for a dial tone on purpose. She's played with many grandma phones over the years but probably never paid attention. This is one of those things they'll say "remember those phones our grandparents had with cords and dial tones?!"

Riding with Joe

This weekend we went outside to enjoy the sunshine. Joe must have heard our crying child so he decided to come investigate with his dad. We had a big time and ECV granted Joe his wish-that someone would ride with him. SKV rarely allows this but ECV was all about him driving her around. Good times!

Church time

Ready for church. Cool as a cucumber.
