Getting Up to Go Potty

So, my youngest daughter, Lissa, recently expressed a serious desire to go to bed without a pullup. We had a sucessful test run and jumped into wearing panties at night. She has had accidents here and there and so we started including the issue in our nightly prayers, saying something about God helping her to wake up to go. One morning a couple of weeks ago we were talking about how she had wet the bed the night before.

I asked her seriously, "Lissa, why did you pee pee in your bed?"

She replied, just as seriously, "God didn't wake me up, Mom."

Laughing a little I said, "He didn't, huh?"

"No," she said, "He was sleeping!"

I was too tickled to be upset about my now bigger pile of laundry for the day and just hugged her! What a cutie!

For those who are curious about my NEW and FABULOUS family photo...

Isn't it great?? We were so excited to capture this one-of-a-kind photo of our family of six. Last time we tried this we were rushed out of the studio and made to feel bothersome to the photographer. Not to mention we left with NO family photo worth buying! Big time bummer!!

But I'm happy to recommend Portrait Innovations. What a great setup! Check it out sometime. And yes, thanks to my good friend Susan for the suggestion!

Here's a couple others from our sitting. These are raw, unedited digital images, so pardon the edges!

I'm Trying to Be More Back!

I can't say much as it is late and I am tired, as usual! But here are a couple of pics of my newest cutie. He's growing like a weed and delights all of us with his smiles. Enjoy!

Sleep Deprived in Grand Prairie

I'm a horrible blogger. I never shoulda started this thing! Now it's something else to feel guilty about not completing or maintaining properly. Just kidding! I actually enjoy knowing someone out there cares enough to read about my boring life.

So I haven't had a lot of continuous night time sleep lately. Our newest addition, Luke, is the culprit. He's so darn cute, though, I can't possibly be mad at him. No matter what time he wakes me up...which these days is about 4am.

Anyway, just like with my other kids, my body has adapted to it. And now I actually stay up after he goes to bed at night. Besides, if I didn't have this private time to myself I really might go nuts!

So keep coming back to visit me. I'm determined to keep you "posted"!

Hasta,
Jen
