Weekly Happenings...

Let's see if I can get you all caught up on the Taylor family. I'll start with Brian.
My hubby has done a most excellent job staining the front door. It has been quite a job for him. For two weeks now he has been stripping, sanding, and staining and his hard work is paying off. He will put the finishing touches on the door this weekend and then I will take a picture so you can see the finished product. It sure looks good.
I know I have said this a million times already but Brian really is a one-of-a-kind dad. He is so loving, attentive, and patient with Will and Abby. I watch and listen to other dads and they don't hold a candle to Brian. Will and Abby are so very lucky...and at such a young age..they know it too.
Not much to report about me...just taking care of the kiddos. I was finally able to attend my bible study this week (no kid sickness to contend with) and I have MOPS this morning. I also joined a new play group through MOPS that will be lots of fun for both me and the kids. I will take pictures each time we meet so you can see all the kids in action.

Will is still doing super with his potty training. He struggles a little bit with giving me enough time to get him to the bathroom but all in all...I couldn't be more pleased or surprised at how well he had done. I am sure the "urgency" will lessen with thime as gets more and more comfortable. When I picked him up from bible study yesterday, his teacher told me that he even used the potty at church. I almost cried. I couldn't believe he went in the bathroom with all the other kids (and with out me) and just took care of his business. I guess he really can survive with out me. :) Will is also super excited about Christmas. We have really been trying to emphasize the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, rather than Santa Claus and the gifts...and what an impact it has had on him. He has talked nonstop about Jesus' birthday and even picked out His birthday cake at Kroger so we can have a "birthday party" Christmas day. It is so heart warming to hear him talk about how the Christmas tree, the stockings, and presents are all for Jesus' birthday. He is even telling his friends. There are few times as parents when you feel like you are getting it right...and on this one...we feel like we are doing just that.

Abby is doing great. She is cruising around everywhere, learning how to eat with a fork (which is a total mess), and is as feisty as ever.
And lastly..Brady. We learned this week that Brady has diabetes so we have put him on a strict diet and exercise regimen. It has bothered us immensely since the vet told us about his diabetes because we feel and are responsible for what goes in his body. Needless to say, there has been way too much people food and junk.

I think that about wraps it up. Hope all is well with you.
