I signed up to participate in a photo scavenger hunt through Kristi’s blog. The idea was to take a picture of all the 26 things she listed during the month of April, and then post all the pictures on May 1. Alas, although I’m just doing this for fun and to inspire myself to get [...]

I had the pleasure of taking today’s picture for the Powderhorn 365 blog.
Click here to see the photo I submitted. I ruminated a long while over that picture and this one:

FINALLY, after a week of what I’d call beginning that long hellish road otherwise known as potty training, Ryan peed INSIDE of the potty today. We’ve had two other *almost in the potty* [...]

It was surprisingly nice enough in Duluth last weekend to spend some time outside. We went down by the lake…Ryan LOVED LOVED LOVED throwing rocks into the water.
He was willing to take a ride on the 4-wheeler this time.

That would be Potty Training.
I’m not looking for any cut and dried answers, or for anyone to tell me exactly what to do in order to PT my kid in a quick and easy way (but wouldn’t that be GREAT if someone could do just THAT? This parenting thing is just so hit or miss!). [...]
