Six Days and going strong

Hooray for Alexis! She is finally catching on to this whole potty training thing. It is now day six with NO accidents, and that includes night time! WOW! I thought I'd never see this day, but here we are. Once again... a modern day miracle. It has not happened overnight though. We've been at this for over a month now. We kept having setbacks, but she seems to have gotten this whole process down now... except she is obsessed with bathrooms. She will play in there all day if I let her. She has figured out the plug on the sink and keeps filling it with water and all her toys have been swimming lately. Kids and water. Oye! But I can't complain... she is a great kid.
Timothy is also advancing. He is getting around the house much faster now. He is army crawling and will follow me around the house. He keeps up pretty well. He is also getting his top four teeth in. They are coming in funny though; from left to right. His grin sure makes me grin. He is also waving and clapping. So many new, fun tricks. I forgot how much they learn in such a short amount of time.
Poor Timothy also had to get shots last week. It was another long day sitting in line waiting for our turn. Midway through our wait Alexis saw the bathrooms and said she had to go... so I took her in and she said, "I am fine mom... I'll try later". I about lost it! We had lost our place in line for nothing! AHHHhhhhhh! I pray for patience every day... but truly needed it that day. Alexis didn't get a nap that day either... so come dinner time we found her asleep on the table. Poor kid.We took Alexis and Timothy trick-or-treating in a private neighborhood party last night. Alexis loved it. She was so excited that people were giving her candy. She can't wait to go again tonight at the ward party. She is quite the pro. She dressed up as Lilo from Lilo and Stitch and Timothy was a rock band star. We spiked his hair. He is so cute.
Speaking of cute, my cute hubby has now finished his Kino Psych rotation. He learned lots, realized we aren't as crazy as he thought, and worked hard. His rotation preceptor was a pain in the rear though. Papers that are only supposed to take 30 min to 2hrs to complete have now taken over 30 hours to get done, and are still not approved. It makes me angry when people have nothing better to do than make others lives miserable. His next rotation starts Monday at a compounding pharmacy. After that rotation, it is off to Yuma for his final two rotations... then... GRADUATION! HOORAY... for Dr. David! Actually the correct term will be PharmD... but whatever... he'll be graduated. Then we have no idea what or where we'll go. Lots of decisions to be made here in the next several weeks. Sell the house? Rent the house? Stay in Tucson? Leave Tucson? I vote LEAVE Tucson... Anyway... enjoy some pics below... Long entry... I know...
