Eli is finally potty trained, at least during the day. Whew!!!!

Rachel is ready to do it but Mommy is not. Still worn out from Eli.

We lost power for 3 days early in the month. It was fun the first day but cooking hot dogs in the fireplace loses it's charm after the first day. Eli kept telling us to go get more "lectricity." Fortunately, we were able to watch some Scooby Doo episodes on the laptop and iPod.

We also got a fair amount of snow on two days one week later in the month. The kids weren't that impressed. Probably because we'd just been in the snow at the cabin. Eli's pre-school class was more impressed that he showed up to school in a car covered in snow. It's fun to see what makes you cool amongst the preschooler crowd.
