Well, I guess lots has happened since that time. Christmas for one. We had a good holiday. Addison knew exactly what to do with those gifts under the tree that were given to her! She even had grandpa wrapped around her finger when it was time to take the toys out of their boxes! :)
We celebrated Ethiopian Christmas January 7th and I made 3 Ethiopian dishes for us and my parents. I was sad that only 1 of them turned out, BUT, it was the one we liked while in Ethiopia, so I couldn't complain! My injera was NOT good....but I would try it again sometime. I've gotta be able to perfect it at some point in my life!! :)
It's hard to believe spring is just around the corner. Trevor has been on spring break this week, so we've had an enjoyable time at home playing with him and doing fun activities inside and out. Him and I were discussing yesterday though, he only has 7 or 8 weeks left of preschool and he'll officially be a kindergartner! TOO CRAZY!! Hard to think he's going to be 5 in just over a week!!
Still working on the potty training with Caleb. Any hints or suggestions?? Throw them my way! He's getting better, but it's also, when he wants to do it, he'll do it. Otherwise, just forget it! I'm still crossing my fingers he's ready by August! He wants to go to "Trevor's school", so I hope he gets it, and SOON!
And Addison has shown us SO much since coming home! A month from Saturday she will have been home with us for 1 entire year already! It's absolutely crazy to think about that! She has grown like a weed and shown us SO much in the past year. Her speech is amazing! Sometimes she'll be playing and talking to herself, Mark thinks she's speaking German! :) But her words (her favorite being SHOES) are so clear! It's fun to sit and have a little conversation with her! She's learned to stand up for herself...well, sometimes. Other times she is the typical "all girl"! But she picks on the boys as much as they pick on her! It's kinda funny to watch sometimes!
Below is a recent picture of us all. This would have been the first weekend in February when we were leaving Phoenix (visiting Mark's mom) to come home.
