Happy Saturday!

27 Weeks & 2 Days

Since several people have requested a picture of the big ol' belly... Here you go...


I'm happy to say that Cleburne has a name: Silas Levi Deen

Well, I guess it isn't official yet, but it's the name we're leaning most towards. We still have 3 months to change our minds several more times, right!?

Heating Up & Cooling Off

Dallas, Texas is fast on its way to surpassing the record of 42 consecutive days of triple-digit weather set back in 1980.


Currently, we have tied the 2nd place record of 29 consecutive days set back in 1998.

And with a forecast like this, I don't see why we can't beat the all-time record.

Friday night we attended our church's young married couples family picnic at the sprinkler park.

Micah barely sat still long enough to take a couple bites of his dinner, much less let me take a picture of him. He's always on-the-go these days!

Ribbit

My boys found this little guy hiding under my hydrangea one afternoon this week.
The good news: We don't have any warts yet.

The bad news: It peed all over them and never turned into a charming prince.

It Was Only A Matter of Time...

"I'm a big kid now!"

Actually, we've already moved past the Pull-ups. We've graduated to underwear!

I can't take all of the credit. Primrose, Micah's new pre-school, did most of the work. Right before we left his old daycare at the end of May, I knew he was getting close to being ready. I didn't push the issue for a couple of weeks at the new school to allow him time to adjust to the new atmosphere and people.

Around the beginning of the third week of Primrose, Micah's teacher came to me and told me that he's been using the potty at school all day and staying dry in his pamper. She felt like it was time that he started wearing underwear instead of wasting pampers. My eyes just lit up! I had no idea he was staying dry all day long.

Since then, we've been in big boy underwear. We've had our fair share of accidents and we've struggled (still do to an extent) with poo poo-ing in the potty, but we've come a long way in the last month.

Micah can even stay dry ALL night long. Yes, we still wear a Pull-up at night, just in case, but he's very good about going straight to the bathroom in the morning when he wakes up.
