Abigail started to tell us when she was needing to go to the bathroom totally on her own accord so I decided it would probably be best to get after the dirty business of potty training! Yes, I have a newborn and I have not lost my mind, well not completely at least.
So, we set off to wal-mart to buy some panties. The trip by the way was utterly disasterous...by the end of our little errand I was pushing a huge cart to the front to check out while holding Claire (at least she had stopped crying) after strapping a screaming Abigail in the cart and Andrew was finding joy in agitating his sister and seeing just how loud she really would scream...yes, I was that Mom today in Wal-Mart....not fun, not fun at all. So, in making it back home I was a little leery as to starting the training but decided the sooner the better and off we went. Abigail has done soo well...I really am shocked! I thought this picture was funny...apparently she thinks that her new panties are just another accessory to her wardrobe :) Well the training has begun and it has reminded me to be patient with my children like my heavenly father is so patient with me. Oh how He teaches me to be patient through my little munchkins. Here we go!

This is typical Abigail at the dinner table. For some reason she thinks that her foot belongs on it too! 
Just a funny picture of Carson. We are so proud of him trying new foods this year. He now likes spaghetti! 
Andrew is my official baby holder. He loooves to hold Claire and it really comes in handy when I need to put her down for a few minutes...and of course, she doesn't want to be down...so, Andrew can hold her for me and save us all from her wonderful screams! 
I love this picture...this is what she looks like when I put her down.
This little face....believe it! She is only content when she is held, bounced, or rocked but she will not be put down at any time if her eyes are still open! She is a mess pot, but an adorable little mess pot that we wouldn't trade for anything! Getting the housework done is a little impossible right now...I forgot how much longer it takes to do things when you only have one arm to operate on. I am overwhelmed at times at the things I need to do and yet the Lord is reminding me through Claire time and time again to slow down and just enjoy.
Here they came when they heard me taking pictures of their little sister.
