New to us car!!! We upsized!

After much debate & research, I finally "had it" with the VW on Monday and Mike & I decided it was time to 'upgrade' to a bigger vehicle.  We started looking & tonight we became the owners of a 2004 Ford Expedition.  Josh didn't want to leave the car behind, but he'll love the new DVD system & the extra room as he gets bigger!  PLUS, we can get back in Bailey's good graces because she can fit & ride with us once again. :)

Potty training progress report

Week one has been an interesting one so far...  Here's what's happened...

#1 - Saturday evening, Josh decided that a older lady at church would be interested to know that he was wearing this big boy underwear.  I turned around for only a moment, when he had his pants down showing her his 'monster truck' undies :)

#2 - I don't understand why they put the graphics on the BACK of kid's underwear....every morning Josh wants to wear his undies with the graphic up front & Mike has to explain to him that the 'big' part goes to the back.

#3 - All weekend, Josh only had 3 accidents.  We were very hopeful when we took him to school on Monday morning.  We sent 3 changes of clothes & undies...just in case.  Well, when I picked him up from school....he was wearing the schools shorts :-/  He had 4 accidents in 1 day!!!

#4 - Things have since gotten MUCH better...Tuesday, he had 2 accidents and today he only had 1 accident & it was a 'little' one.  Today we took a road trip up to New Braunfels & Josh told us when he needed to go.  We were able to pull over & he went!  GREAT PROGRESS!!!

Operation Potty Training is underway...

Yep, that's right!  Josh moved up to a new classroom on Wednesday & the teacher encouraged us to start bringing him in his 'big boy' undies (and several changes of clothes as well) :)  That really excited Mike & I, so we started today!  So far, he's doing very good...no accidents :)  He's been 'going' on the potty for a while now, so we're hoping this transition is a smooth & quick one!  Wish us luck...

NEW domain & personal email addresses

In an effort to consolidate all our 'stuff', we've opted not to renew our "mikefauver.com" domain & replace it with "fauverfamily.com" domain.  What does this mean for most of y'all????  Well, it means that Mike & I will have new email addresses effective immediately.

Mine - amanda@fauverfamily.com

Mike's - mike@fauverfamily.com

Please update your phones, email address books, etc. so we can continue to hear from each of y'all :)

Starting a new venture in the blog world

So, after much thought and seeing so many other blogging about their families & lives...I've decided to join the ranks!  Hopefully I will use this blog to keep our friends & family updated on all that's going on in our little world.  It's changing so fast, here's the best way I can think to make sure everyone can see what's going on!  More to come....so stay tuned or check back periodically!!
