Reality Checks

There are some weeks that I re-read my blog and think life couldn't get much better. And then there are weeks that feel like a slap in the face. This week was one of those.

BUT, we are learning!! We lost a major referral source and spent the week marketing and brainstorming how we can drum up enough business to make up for what we lost. There is so much potential in Kwint's career and we have a lot that we can do, it will just take some extra work and time. We are willing to work, and in the meantime we will keep learning.

I also suddenly got very homesick for my friends in St. George. I read all of your blogs and got so sad!! I was ready to hop in the car and drive down. I couldn't come on moving day like I wanted to, and I think it will be September before we can make it down and it is really pulling on my heartstrings.

We didn't take any pictures this week, but even during our challenging week we were able to spend the weekend with cousins and wonderful friends. It feels good to love and be loved, and no matter what, we know that we are richly blessed in everything that matters.

The big news from our house this week is that Brennan has officially decided (by way of persuasion) that he is a big boy and will never wear another diaper. WOO HOO!! Brennan has been very anti-potty. We have tried for 6 months to talk him into it and he just kept saying "No!" No matter how I tried to bribe him, nothing would convince him. On Friday I was making the grocery list and said "I am so sick of buying diapers. Don't think we could talk him into potty training?" So, Kwint said, "Hey Brennan, we ran out of diapers so you'll have to wear underwear now." For some crazy reason, that is what finally worked.

Friday we went through 5 pairs of undies, yesterday 3, and today only one so far. He woke up dry both mornings. I am truly pleased. I can no longer stand the smell of the garbage can.
