Updates....

Further to my earlier post: We went to Augusta to visit my in-laws last weekend. It was hot and I couldn't find a cheap blow up pool at Target, so in the spirit of being 'frugal' (which I am not as good at these days), I picked up this tub on clearance ($4.96). I figured it would have multiple uses....toy storage, beer cooler (can you guess how many beers this thing could hold?), and swimming pool / water fun for this past weekend. It worked! We had a great visit with the in-laws just relaxing around the house and playing with the kids.

Work is keeping me very busy these days, John, too. He has been dealing with an issue with an employee that hopefully is over, but has been draining him for almost two weeks. We've decided to try to go visit family soon so if you are in MD-be on the lookout for us around July 4.

Other than that, everyone is healthy. J has FINALLY started to go on the potty, so he goes to school in underpants....that is the only way he is going to learn. He has only had one accident each day so far this week, which is pretty good for a kid that seemed like he would never go on the potty. He is still very nervous about it-not sure why, but all we can do is reassure him and give lots of CANDY. Whatever works!
