Advent and Other News

Advent means coming, and it is a special time of year where we remember the coming, or birth, of our Savior Jesus Christ, and the hope for His second coming.

We use an advent calendar every night and an advent wreath on Sunday. It is a special time, and I really enjoy talking to my girls about Jesus and the significance of His life on this earth.

The calendar also includes fun toys and tasty treats, such as this duck horn that says, "Quack if you love Jesus." Just reading it cracks me up, and every time Hannah blows it Kate cracks up.

Potty training is going well, and after a week and two days of training Kate is having 1-2 accidents a day, usually before nap or bedtime when she is more tired. It helps that Hannah is such a good role model, and so eager to help her little sister. When she has to go to the bathroom she says, "Kate, I have to poop. You want to watch?" Who could refuse such an invitation, huh? Me.
Our realtor did say that we are one of the offers submitted to the bank. This is further in the purchasing process than we have been before, but I am not packing up yet and am trying to stay realistic about the whole thing.
