Week One Without Alex

Updates on Clifton -
Clifton is completely done with diapers!  He keeps dry at night:)  He has been such a good boy and doing so well with going potty.  We are still working on going on a "big" (regular) toilet.  He has gone a few times on a big toilet but wants to stand up which is fine just messy!  The other day he even asked to go on the big boy toilet instead of his little toilet but will only pee not poop.  Because he likes to stand. Progress.
Clifton has always loves me to sing songs to him but he has never really sang.  But lately he will sing songs with me and it surprises me how much of the song he knows all by himself.  He can sing his ABC'S all by himself!

Updates on McKay -
She has two molars poking through (which makes me laugh because she still does have her other teeth).  So she was pretty grumpy and had a fever for most of the week.  I thought it was just a fever but it turned out that she had Roseola.  Poor girl!  But she is better now:)

Just the kids being cute!

I am still hesitant to get out with Clifton so new at potty training and it has been so cold and icy.  So we tried to have as much fun at home as possible.

Art.  Painting is always a hit with these boys!

 Games!

 And just being silly:)

Forts.

Then Friday I braved up and got out.  We went to visit a friend and some family on the other side of the water. We took the ferry over!

 Watching the boats go by.

 Snack time on the ferry.

The ferry ride was spent most of the time with the kids looking out the window watching boats, birds, and a seal!  I love living so close to the water and the ferries.  A simple but fun thing to do!  We had a lot of fun catching up and playing with friends and family.  It was a very long day for the kids but totally worth it.

Alex is in Georgia dying from the heat!  One week down, one more to go. We all miss him very very much:(
