Potty Training...???

The sprint to the bathroom...
Potty training has taken over our household, and we do many different things to try and keep the "liquids" contained.









Lot's of sitting in the laundry basket...sitting on the potty reading books...Towels come in handy...
















Ongoing potty training sometimes means ya gotta sit in the sink until the deed is done. Good thing Maol has his own bathroom!

SNOW DAY..!









Maol and Anya had a snow day, we decided that since there isn't any snow in South Carolina, we just had to make our own.

A day on the ranch...

Maol decided that his farm is his new favorite toy of the moment. We have all the farm implements and the tractors taking care of fields, while the cows are put out to pasture. If you can see the horse, you will just have to know that he is sleeping! Maol likes his horses to get their naps early in the day. He needs to have all his fences in the exact place, strategically placed so that the animals can get lots of water and they aren't to close to the roads. On Monday Maol will be loading up the cows to take up into the high country for the summer.

Merry Christmas!


Maol loves his new kitchen...makes many new dishes for us and likes to pretend that the fake food is really good!


Starting on his first stocking...Maol has two stockings that we fill, one is his hawaiian stocking, the other is his stocking fit for a Mallard! dad helped him take stuff out.

showing mom his pickles...


All the excitement just wore him out! Good thing his Penny made him a special trains blanket...to run his trains on of course!

Decorating the Christmas tree with dad. Even though we found that our box of special ornaments was missing (lost in the move)...we still had enough ornaments to decorate the tree! It's really made us glad to all be together this year at Christmas!Making Christmas cookies with mom. This was a large project for such a small kitchen, but we made enough cookies too send with dad to work, and send off to friends. This years favorite new cookie is the corn meal cookies. We made Hawaiian bread, gingersnaps, decorated sugar cookies, and cheddar crisps with our new cookie gun.

Denver trip...2007 (cont.)

We went to see Santa at the Children's Museum and we liked him better than the mall Santa. Showed him some trucks, and just chilled!





Lucas wasn't so much for this Santa, I guess that when you see one...ya seen em' all! I think maol is wondering why Penny isn't sitting on Santa's lap and telling him what she wants for Christmas!

We still always had time for brushing and a book every night!

Denver Trip...2007

Denver trip was loads of fun! Mornings were kinda mellow...hit the bottle early and got ready for the daily shopping trip, ride to see Santa, playing at friends houses, etc. Lucas always says a little warm milk hits the spot early in the morning! We miss Lucas!What a little angel that little Avery Kaitlin is! Love to snuggle that wee one! 4 weeks now, and growing bigger every day! Look at the fat roll under the chin!

And the in-flight movie will be...
Maol can't ride his rocket without a total gear-up, which includes full pilot dress. Daddy's ski gloves, the fleece indoor slippers (otherwise known as boots), and the safety running belt for added flight safety!
