Exciting events of 2011!

Well I had all intentions of updating right after Christmas and then school started and of course it didn't happen.  Sunday mornings seem to be a great time to catch up though so here are a few exciting things and developments that have happened these past couple of months!  Our first exciting news is that Griffin is finally potty trained!  He never had an accident which was wonderful, but it took a week for him to go poop in the potty.  He would just scream bloody murder every time we would make him sit on the toilet but after a while of screaming it just came out to his surprise! He just started yelling, "Mommy I did it, I went poop!"  Since then he has been doing awesome; he is very proud of himself, as are we!

The next exciting news is that Maelie finally decided to crawl!  I think she actually would have started a few weeks ago but she was sick for so long with a cold and then a double ear infection that it just sucked all motivation to move out of her; poor little baby!  About 2 days after she had been on antibiotics she started crawling...and now I wonder why I ever wanted her to in the first place.  Now I have to baby proof my house! :)  She is at such a fun age right now and is such a happy baby! She adores Griffin and will copy everything he does including dancing, growling, yelling, and laughing.

Our last bit of news that has us still so surprised and grateful is that Rock got the internship with JP Morgan that we were really hoping and praying for!  Not only is it a great opportunity but it will put us in Denver for the whole summer and hopefully will give us a career path for after he graduates!  He is pretty nervous about it but really excited too! And I am so proud of him I could explode :)  When he told me I was about 2 minutes away from walking into the testing center....let me tell you how much I concentrated on that test!  We will be in Denver from June to mid August and the kids and I are looking to spending lots of time with all of our family and friends there!  Thats all for now!
