At least someone is using the potty!

Sam took his very first steps today! He walked!!!!
This evening we were encouraging Davis to use his potty. He brought it out of the bathroom into the playroom to sit on it and them immediately ignored it to play with trucks. Sam crawled up to it and stood up and then began pushing it around the playroom! I couldn't believe it, since just last weekend I gave him the push walker and encouraged him and he turned me down. I figured he just wasn't ready. He figured he just hadn't found the perfect walker. Then he saw the potty and I guess it was a match. He happily pushed it around for fifteen minutes or so and then I offered him the hippo pushcart. He needed a little help, but pushed that around too. Michael was home and we took lots of video. After a bit, Michael disappeared in his office and I started cooking dinner. Imagine my surprise when I looked up and saw Davis zooming in on his tractor and Sam almost keeping up while walking along pushing the hippo on his own. I'm so proud. I'm uploading the video now. As soon as youtube uploads it, I'll post it!

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
