Chris worked hard this weekend digging the trenches for the sprinklers in the back and marking where we're going to put a stacked broken concrete wall. We found a contractor who will deliver broken concrete from his demolition jobs for free - what a deal! I did a lot of supervising. Sofia was a big help, too as you can see. On the potty training front, we made our first trip to the park since starting this business. Things seems to be going pretty well, but I wouldn't wish those first several days on anyone. Posted by Hello

Want some? Posted by Hello

Sofia helped me make some homemade playdough. Some may remember the story how I had to throw the real Play Doh away a few weeks ago... Anyway, she likes the new playdough even though it is just beige (no food coloring!!@##$)  Posted by Hello

We bought Sofia a great wagon with her birthday money from Grandma and Marc. She is having a blast wheeling it around and getting rides from Mommy and Daddy. It has seat backs that fold up from the center and seatbelts. As shown, it has the seats folded down with a storage compartment beneath the platform. I would say, they don't make 'em like they used to, but in this case, there are definitely some neat bells and whistles that they've added. Chris' only complaint is that you can't fold the handle back and use it as a steering wheel while you're racing down the hill in it - oh darn. Posted by Hello
