So here's the long awaited video. There's a lot of stuff in it. Landyn talking and rolling. Jordyn tells her colors and no, we didn't practice ahead of time. She really does just know them! A glimpse of what it's like at breakfast and a fun song Jordyn learned with Grandma on spring break. There's some more fun things too like playing in the mirror and just being silly. Hope you enjoy!

New Changes

To those of you who check our blog regularly, sorry about how long it's taken to get a new post up. Those of you with kids know how difficult it is to find time for anything, and just add two parents in school on top of that and it's almost impossible to do anything else besides school and kid things. So, I know it's been long and I apologize. Because of that it's going to make this blog full of information to fill you all in.Let's start with this weekend. It has been a whirlwind with a lot of new changes in our lives. Landyn started rolling over! Since she did it about 6 times in a row we were able to catch it on camera. Jordyn was very excited as well because she has been showing Landyn how to roll and trying to "help" her roll over for some time now. We couldn't believe she was doing it and she seemed very happy about it! Landyn also started cereal this weekend. I've been feeling like a lot of times after eating she's still hungry so what better way to fill her up than cereal. Again, Jordyn has been very excited and wanting to help feed Landyn. She also keeps saying she wants a bite but as soon as it's about to touch her mouth she changes her mind. The biggest change this weekend happened when we decided to potty train Jordyn. She has been very interested in the potty for a couple of weeks and been asking to go so we decided now was as good a time as any. We used a method called potty training in 3 days, which I highly recommend. By day 2 Jordyn had only one accident and day 3 brought on no accidents along with waking up dry from a 10-hour sleep! Today, day 5, has been a more trying day as the first half of the morning she decided she didn't want to go on the potty and had two accidents but now we are back on top of it and she's excited again about going and getting an M&M for a reward. I know there will still be accidents and frusterating moments with this but I'm so glad to be over the hurdle of potty training.

In other areas of our lives, Jordyn, Landyn and I were able to go home to NY for spring break. We were gone 8 days and we missed Wayne like crazy but really had a fun time. We all started off sick and so the first few days were a little rough and they convinced my brother he never wants to have kids! It's easy to convince someone of that when you have two screaming girls climbing in your lap and having nothing make them happy! But after the first few days they both just jumped into life there and it was a lot of fun. It was Landyn's first trip so I enjoyed showing her off to all of our family. Having all my siblings there as well as my parents was great too because it gave me some time to go out to lunch with friends, take a nap one day and do some shopping without having to carry anyone around the store! We were sad to go and Jordyn is still asking when Grandma and Grandpa will come!

Wayne is now in the middle of two online classes that are taking up a lot of his time. He's so great about it though. Most of the time he won't even start his work until the girls are in bed, forcing him to stay up late but he does it to spend time with them and help give me a break and for that I am always thankful! I am also in the thick of two classes with tons of work. Pretty much all my free time is taken up studying and I am just trying to focus on the end and stay as positive as I can. For those of you who know me, you know how difficult that is!

We are loving our life and really enjoying our girls. Landyn is really developing a personality and is awake and alert a lot more. Jordyn has really been enjoying playing with her now that she can hold toys and smile as well as sit-up (when propped). It is really fun to see the two of them interact together. With the warmer weather, we have had some days in the 70's we have been able to go to the park a few times and that is always great too, to have a change in scenery. We are really looking forward to May, the end of school and the start of two one-week vacation trips where hopefully we will be able to see a lot of you! We miss you all and thanks for keeping up on us. I'll be posting a video hopefully later tonight or tomorrow. I'm still working on it!
