Piper went to the potty this morning! She woke up, asked to go to the potty, we put her on and then ten minutes later we heard a miraculous tinkling sound! Last night, even, we put her on and she pooped. We still have to work on flushing and wiping and all that ancillary stuff,…

Gonna make this quick, but last night Piper pooped in the potty. Gross! However, she did, and it’s a start. She recognizes when she is or is going to potty most of the time. Last night was a fluke where we were all eating dinner and she started grunting and leaning sideways in her chair…

So, on Tuesday Ashley had a wisdom tooth out. It had been bothering her all weekend and she could barely open her mouth and chew. So she went in, they said they could take it out, and out it came. At the end of August she’ll be having the last two out, which is going…

Who would have thought creating pasta from scratch would be so difficult? Okay, the actual making of the dough wasn’t bad, but rolling out was, if this makes sense, “reasonably impossible”. Oh I ended up getting it, but geez. Now I know why everyone loves those hand cranking things. After that, though, the lasagna came…

I’ll tell you what… I want to go see that Batman movie. What? Well of course I do! The only thing that’s going to make it odd is going to be probably seeing it myself. Ashley’s not into that sort of thing, and it seems like we’ve lost touch with “the group”. I guess it’s…

Signs posted throughout the store said, “No Photography”. We either promptly ignored them or just didn’t see them (we claim the latter). Piper didn’t care either way.

I think this is one of my favorite shots from our trip. Not sure why, but it looks good to me.

This mysterious table was Ashley’s idea and it turned out incredibly well. She got a pat on the back for this one.
