Ok so it seems like just yesterday that I last posted but I just realized that I haven't posted anything for this new year! I'm horrible, I know, but I'm going to fix that today! Well, as far as our holidays they were great! Chris' parents and sister were able to come spend Christmas with us. It was so much fun to spend time with them! The girls got to know them better and Samantha still asks when Omi and Papa (she decided she wanted to call him Papa instead of Opi) are going to come visit again. It was a little untraditional since Chris had to work quite a bit including Christmas day. We opened presents and spent the day at the fire station. Thank you to everyone for all of the wonderful gifts and cards they were greatly appreciated! The girls and I also spent New Years Eve at the fire station with Chris. We truly have a lot of fun there with all of the other families and have made some great friends.
School started again on the following Tuesday so we decided to take the girls sledding for the first time this winter. It lasted about 10 minutes thanks to me. I crashed on my first run with Samantha and hurt my knee. Thankfully it wasn't broken but I couldn't walk for a couple days. It is still bothering me but getting better. I am not taking classes this semester which helps because Chris' schedule is even busier than last semester. I have been spending my time with housework and potty training Samantha. If anyone has any advice please leave me a comment!!! She is beginning to get it but struggles with using the potty if she has anything on, including big-girl undies.
Her and Ashley both are learning and growing so quickly! Ashley is starting to wave, and give kisses. Samantha loves singing lately and is learning her ABC's. These two just amaze me, with their curiosity and understanding. We hope all is well with you all and your families!
Oh yeah, My brother Aron and his wife Jill had their first baby on Jan. 4th. Adam Marcel was the first baby of the new year in Kittitas County! He's so cute and we can't wait to meet him in person!

Glad to hear that your knee is feeling better!
I wish I had advice on potty training, but I am in desperate need of some advice as well. Our little guy is afraid to go #2 on the potty, and I don't really know how to get him over that hill. Good luck with that, and I will check back often with any new found knowledge that you gain along the way.
We did it so wrong with our first and finally when she was almost 4 I read "Potty Training for Dummies." BEST book ever!!! No joke. It helped TONS. Good luck!
