today

Today I'm grateful for my family. for my sweet boys. for my awesome husband. we had such a nice day, full of family and fun. we even managed to read a few books to Des with his full attention, then finished the night with a rousing game of "dr". Kolt was the patient. he received many shots and kisses to bring him back to life.

Gray did great during the blessing (we were all afraid he would squiggle too much) but he was pretty chill. And Des managed to go potty "all by himself" as he reported walking back into the chapel without his pants or undies on. Luckily, that was before church started--when the hustle and bustle was in full effect and he managed to slip away for five minutes before i realized he was gone. he was a pretty hilarious door greeter that way. many people in the ward had a good laugh on the way in. But we were all pretty dang impressed that he made it all the way to the men's room without an accident (yes he used the men's room.) and that he found a short potty to climb up on. and that he brought all his clothing back with him. good times. 

we even managed a few pictures. only barely though...we were pretty pooped by the time we remembered we needed to.

Thank you Rachel for snapping a few for us. and for getting des to smile because he's pretty stinking cute when he turns it on.

Thanks to all the family that were able to come. Its always nice to be surrounded by loved ones. Makes me look forward to Thanksgiving (wherever it may be.) because this year I'm trying to ponder on things I'm grateful for and its pretty overwhelming with all the blessings I have. and numero-uno is my family.
