Finally we have success! Ian is potty trained! At Christmas time Ian's Grandma Stevens told him she would take him to Toys R' Us to pick out a toy if he could go a whole week without accidents, and he did it. He picked out a Thomas the Train Engine scooter and a Diego helmet.
We got another dog! He is a Cavelier King Charles/English Springer Spaniel mix. We named him Tonks so we could keep up with the whole Harry Potter theme (even though that is a girl and the puppy is a boy). Some people wanted us to name him Remus, but we decided we would need a dog that looked like a wolf in order to do that. He is lots of fun and the kids love him. Ian loves him a little too much!
On Thanksgiving my brother Nicholas brought "Guitar Hero" to play. Ian had a blast playing the Guitar, and he was fascinated watching Nicholas and I play.
Luckily I was able to grab a quick shot of the kids together at our ward's trunk or treat. I was actually able to grab a picture of both of the kids smiling at the exact same time (thanks to their Daddy making goofy faces behind my back).
