Posting from HOME!!!

I have decided that winters in Indiana are a lot like Novembers in MN: some occational snow- most of which melts- and lots of brown. I have to say, if it is going to be cold, GIVE ME SNOW! Yesterday we had it! You can tell from the photo, that Claire enjoys snow a little more than her sister. :)
With the new year, we joined the YMCA! Claire started a tumbling class there and loves it! She was already able to do a summersault, but she is so much more confident now. She enjoys the balance beam too. It is a good place for her to interact with other children too.

With winter, came the need for a little inside entertainment....aka, A BOX! A window here, a door over here and Wha-la! A fort!! The girls love it!

Claire is finally using the potty!!!! Hip, Hip, Hurray! She has been dry 4 days (with the exception of her nap today). She does fine too when out and about or when we are at church. It is so nice and Claire is old enough where she is pretty independant. I (Stephanie) am so thankful!!!

We also have internet at home now! YEAH!!! It is going to be so much easier for me to keep up with this blog and email friends.

With 2010, came a new year, a new semester, new classes, new doctors (finally), membership to the YMCA, and ants (yes an ant is crawling across my floor- they have been coming inside ever since Christmas, weird huh!) One of my biggest challenges here is knowing what to do to fill my days. There are so many different things to be a part of, I can easily become BUSY. The girls and I still go to the library once a week and make lunch for the interns on Tuesdays.
