About Time

Ellie Officially Potty Trained! Way to "GO" Ellie!


Some random neighbors walking through the flooded parking lot.

What a cutie





Fay hit us hard. We are finally seeing it clear up a little. Now it is just sprinkling and a lot of clean up needed. We had a ton of water-constant rain and wind for three days. Most all the stores, mall, YMCA, restaurants etc were closed for two days. We were pretty much trapped inside. Our kids did reach a few mile stones during that time. We did manage to potty train Ellie. Horray! Better late than never! Now only one in diapers. Caden learned how to pull himself to standing position and now does it in his crib all the time. So it was a productive few days? check out the http://mattandkristinwallace.blogspot.com/ blog for more pictures of our apartments after the big storm. pretty crazy

Hip Hip Hurray for Ellie! That is always such a big step. Yeah for Caden, can he be any cutier standing up in his crib, what a sweetie! So glad we get to play together again.
