Potty Power!

After months of resisting, Allison finally seems to be coming around to the idea of using a potty. She's doing great so far when we are at home! All it takes is some bubblegum and a princess potty chair! It looks like she won't be going to Yale in pull-ups after all!

Uncle Noah, Jackie, and Sadie

Next, our uncle Noah and Jackie visited and they brought their dog Sadie! Sadie had a lot of fun playing with Sunny and Crockett and we had fun with Noah and Jackie! Can't wait for them to come see us in Italy!

Safe, sound, and all wet!

We arrived in Florida and have been having a blast! We sure do miss our friends in Oklahoma, though!

The first week after we arrived Allison and Ethan took a mini swim camp where they had lessons every day. Allison did her lesson with her teacher Coach Kelly. Ethan did a "Mommy and Me" class. There were some tears involved but both kids had a pretty good time and are so much more comfortable in the water!

We have the greatest friends!

Thursday Dan had his "Hail and Farewell" party from the squadron at the base bowling alley. He got a nice plaque signed by all his fellow officers! He will miss these guys and the flying a lot!

Here he is with the CO of his squadron:

Then, on Saturday (I thought) we had a sitter and plans for the two of us to go out to a casual dinner (since we'll be apart for a month while Dan does his training course in Newport while we're in Florida). Little did I know that our great friends Geri and the Crawfords had planned a fabulous farewell party for us! We had so much fun celebrating with over 20 of our friends! Thank you so much Geri, Kacee, and Russ!!! It was amazing and so sweet of you!
