A day in world history we will never forget!

Today marks another era in the history of the United States. President Elect Barack Obama is inaugerated into the seat of President of the United States. He is the 44th president but most importantly he is the first black person to take office in US history. We are hoping that in the years to come there will be many changes and the United States can become the strong country we once were.

Watching the inaugeration today was very very moving and the music was so heart felt as well. Its amazing all of the people that came forward to come and watch a truely amazing event. He gave an amazing first speech as President. Heres to hoping that we will see the change he is hoping to bring. However we must remember that it is NOT going to happen over night but in the future.

Diaperless home soon!

I can't hardly believe it. Since New Years Eve/Day Tara has decided that she no longer wants anything to do with diapers or pull ups during the day. She is very consistent with running to the potty when she needs to go. On a rare occasion though she will ask us to go with her which I would much rather help her than for her to have an accident. Since she has made this big change in her little life we have only had 4 accidents so far which I think is pretty good considering how tough the other two were when it came to potty training. We reward her with hugs, kisses and pennies for her money machine.

We still do pull ups at night because well lets face it I am just not ready to be doing sheets every single day yet. Some day real soon that will all fall into place to and the pull ups will also be a thing of the past.

She loves to show people she has underwear on but we are slowly teaching her that, that is not appropriate behavior. I know the newness of this will wear off too soon.

2009 is sure off to a rough start

First the weather has been mean and nasty. Too cold for us to be outside and play in the snow. It has also changed our plans on quite a few days too because its just too bad to go anywhere. The other big change right now is this:


HTI has gone through a huge lay off phase again and yep unfortunately that means my husband has lost his job. They strung us along from the second to last week in December until January 12th before they made things official. Talk about crappy timing and a way to crash your holiday plans. Hopefully now after all of this 2009 makes a great turn around and is a great year for us.
