learning to use the potty




We've had a few more chances to spend some time in Savannah and at the beach. We visited a really beautiful park in the downtown area. The last picture is one that I don't really like but I posted it anyways cause it's funny. We were at the beach and it looks like I spilled something green on my pregnant belly but it's actually a green butterfly that just decided to rest on my belly for a while.

Jonas is doing well with learning to use the potty. We (mostly me) are so ready for a break from diapers. He actually thinks porta pottys are fun and says "look mom, we're in a tent!" I'm trying to train him not to touch anything in public restrooms. He also got his Halloween costume already and loves to turn in to his hero Darth Vadar. He told us that sometimes Darth Vadar has to take his mask off to eat tacos and stuff like that.

James is enjoying his job and new position better than the last one. He is involved in more army activities now that he's attached to a brigade although lucky for him he and his assistant did get to avoid going through the gas chamber the other day. He gets to put that off until later, lucky guy.

Utah pics and labor day

We are starting to get used to our new home. We had a good vacation and loved spending time with family in Utah. Some of our favorite activities included going to a ball game, and Thanksgiving point with the Atkinsons, canoeing with the Powells, watching Jonas enjoy motor scooter rides with his Grandpa and Papa, hanging out with cousins, and enjoying time with Grandparents, we also had lots of fun watching Jonas play with his Aunt Mo and her puppy Milo and going to some outdoor concerts in Salt Lake. It went by very quickly and it was so nice to have some babysitters and go on dates again.
For Labor day here we headed to the beach. Hilton Head Island was great and we quickly realized how much we are going to love being able to hang out on the coast. We have yet to explore the city of Savannah very much but we are going to be doing that very soon. We really like our new house and we'll get some pictures up as soon as it looks decent. I will just post one picture of the back yard. We had a sad day when just a week after we were here we saw a bulldozer coming into the area behind our house and start cutting trees down. The picture shows how it used to look. Now we find out that there is some land that is zoned for commercial use behind us. Jonas of course loved seeing a huge bulldozer working up so close but James and I were very very disappointed. OH well that's life I guess. Other than that we are enjoying our new place. I know I posted way too many pictures.
