First I have to say, sorry for the lack of pictures, we lost our camera somewhere in the house and haven't been able to find it for a few weeks.
Some of the things happening here are Kaylin getting another cold, right after having her first very nasty ear infection, me starting to get her cold and Tim having a sinus infection; I have to ask myself and wonder if this cold season is ever going to end for us!? We've been working on some house projects, like finally painting the downstairs bathroom (unfortunately I don't think I have a before picture). It was a hideous brown color (even the ceiling) and now it is a much more mellow shade of "green tea." Tim got up the last of the kitchen cabinets, so now we just need to put the floors, backsplash and decide on the countertop. Of course we have a lot of other house projects to keep us busy, like sprucing up the exterior of our house--this is going to be a big project and keep us busy for quite awhile.
Probably the biggest news, though, is Kaylin starting to potty train. Today is her second day without diapers and she has been accident free all day. We're sticking close to home and keeping her without a diaper or underwear on, because otherwise she won't tell us she has to go to the bathroom, she'll just go in whatever she's wearing (at least that was the case yesterday). So I figure if she gets used to a couple of days without anything on and only using the potty, she may be ready to wear underwear and still use the potty. So hopefully things will still continue to go well and then she'll be completely potty trained. Of course, I'm nervous about the first few trips out of the house, but we'll figure that out as we go. (She's afraid of the big toilet so that may be an obstacle to leaving the house. Any tips?)
Dylan continues to get cuter and cuter, and is starting to learn to sit up a bit, but I think he still has a ways to go before he's sitting up unassisted. He'll be six months soon and starting to eat solid foods, so I hope we can find our camera before then.
Tim finished his first full week as a Job Captain for an architectural firm in Sacramento. He's doing the same thing he was doing before, so I think he'll do really well. And we're just thankful he is working.
Okay, as a quick side note, Tim just captured the biggest bee I have ever seen that was in our house (I didn't even know he was in here)! It was at least as big as a black bee, but I think bigger. Eww, it was creepy!
Gotta sign off and go figure out dinner.

for the potty-on-the-go thing (before he decided public restrooms were okay--which is an off and on battle), i put the potty chair in the back of the van. so when zeb needed to go, i opened the trunk and voila, instant bathroom!
also, about the sickies... the kids were sick nonstop this winter (never could have playdates!) until i made two changes over a month ago (maybe longer), and since then they haven't been sick once. it's been too long to be coincidence now. first change was i made it a point to remember to give them their multivitamins ever day plus a vitamin C. the second change (and this was my mother-in-law's idea--she's an RN) was to lower the thermostat two degrees lower than i normally do during the day (germs like warmth). i was keeping it at 70 because lola was young, but now it's at 67-68. just thought i'd mention that!
