Random Updates...

This is a somewhat random post, but I wanted to post some pictures of our happenings over the past few weeks.

A few weeks ago, we participated in the Walk for the Cure.  We had planned to do the full 3 mile walk, but due to the chilly weather and a restless little girl, we opted for the 1 mile family walk.  We are glad we did as we were able to finish earlier and made it to the car just as it started raining (to add to the misery of the coldness).

Posing for a quick pic with our friends, Ashley and Steve.  I love the look on Kensley's face here...too funny.

Right before Easter, my good friend from college and her family made a quick stop at our house on their way through to Chicago.  We haven't seen each other in several years and it was so great to finally meet each other's kids (Jensen is 19 months old and Bella is 2.5 months old).  Our time was so short, but I am so thankful we were able to have a quick visit.  Thanks Nate and Brit for making time to see us!

Clearly pleased with herself.

Sweet girl!

Kisses for Bella.  Kensley was obsessed with giving Bella kisses.

We finally had some nice weather last week to test out the new bike carrier.  As with most things, it took Kensley a few minutes to warm up, but she ended up loving it!  She did great with wearing her helmet (or "hat" as she calls it) and was quickly asking for more.  She says "bike ride" and points at the bike whenever she wants to go.

So excited!

Off they go!

And lastly, it's been kind of a slow go with potty training.  Days will go by and we'll realize that we haven't asked Kens if she needs to potty, etc.  We also ended up putting her little potty away for a showing several weeks ago and have yet to get it back out.  No wonder we had no intention of starting the process so soon!

This past weekend though as we were eating dinner, Kensley kept saying "poop" and was grabbing her diaper.  We decided we should just go with it and see what happens.  We had success as she pottied on the big toilet.  We celebrated with a M&M and lots of cheering.  A few pictures to document the occasion.

Smiling for daddy.

Can you tell she's excited?
