Five on Friday (an occasional series)



1) Brinnly went in for our six-month check-up yesterday. She now weighs 14 pounds, 1 ounce, and is 24 inches long. Everything looks good! She handled her shots very well and somehow Mali came home with a band-aid and a sticker.

2) We had one day of really warm weather this week and the girls wanted to spend all day outside. We finally had to coax Mali in to eat dinner around 7:00 pm. Usually nothing gets between her and food.

3)Mali made big progress in the area of potty-training yesterday. (We'll spare you the details) She ran in the bedroom to tell Brinn about it and later made calls to Daddy and both grandmas to share the news. We WILL be embarrassing her as a teenager with this story.

4)Has anybody else tried out the recipes from Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook? So far we're impressed by muffins, coffee cake, and quesadillas, but after two attempts at "pink pancakes", we've decided that one is a loser. Even when it was around Valentine's Day, there was no way I could disguise the beet puree for Jonathan.

5) Finally, please keep our friend's friends in your prayers. Check our their always well-written blog including updates on Clayton's fight against cancer.

the girls are getting soooo big! Mali , potty training already? WOW sounds like Lauren. Lauren trained herself, i don't think we had but two accidents. i waited awhile though on the night time stuff. she wore pull ups at night till she started waking up dry. You loose enough sleep, with out changing clothes an sheets in the middle of the night.....

Thank you for the request for prayers! And, how crazy that we are "related!" Crazy!!! Clayton is feeling better a week and a half out from chemo. I hope this will be the trend. God has been good to us by surrounding us with old and new friends!

Hi, Julie! It has been forever!
