It's March!

Not a whole lot to report here. I dyed my hair (see pic below)...but what's new there?! I'm always changing it. :) I go back and forth on what I think of it, but everyone else seems to like it...well, I think the jury's still out for Jared ;) I was going to post some pics of the kids, but realized I don't have any of Eben since the last one I posted. I've been trying to take less pictures, so I guess I've been successful in that :) I just took the pic of Aliza right before I posted this. I will take one of Eben later today and post that since you just have to see his teeth. I took one of the front top teeth out last weekend. Both of the top two were sticking almost straight out. It looked so ridiculous! They were getting pushed out so much that it looked like he had lost two teeth on either side of them. Oh boy. Anyway, I got one out and although it was sticking out, it took a little work to get out. Eben was screaming, but in the end let me take it out. The adult tooth could already been seen once it was removed. I told him if he worked the other one for awhile it would come out a lot easier. I think I can already see the adult one under this one too. Eben and his crazy teeth :) So, check back to see his smile later today or tomorrow.

Ah yes, I guess I do have a little news - potty news that is! Last night was Aliza's first night without a pull-up and she did great! She had been dry for about 5 nights, so I figured it was time to get rid of them. She feels pretty special not having to wear them. We've very proud of her! This Saturday Nora and I are going to a "pull-up home party". Not really sure what it all entails, but there is nothing to sell, so that's kinda nice :) I'm going to attempt starting potty training with Nora after that. Actually, maybe I should start on Friday so we have the whole weekend to work on it...hmm, I'll have to think about that. I have learned my lesson though, and if she isn't taking to it within a week, we'll stop and re-visit it at another time. I'm not really in a huge hurry. I sort of feel like she'll do well. She sits on the potty almost every day (after asking), but very rarely does she do anything. I think I'll buy her some my little pony panties for some incentive :) So, here's hoping potty training is a quick success!!

Jared has sent his resume to 3 places in Michigan (Lansing, Holland, and somewhere in the Detroit area), so all prayers for there to be an offer would be appreciated. I'm not holding my breath, though am encouraged that at least he's finding some options and he's applying. God's got it in His hands, so no worries here. We are content where we are and have things to look forward to while we are here.

Happy March everyone!!
