When we started a website for Elizabeth 2 and a half years ago, we did so at the suggestion of a friend at church. She recommended Baby Home Pages, and we signed up. Because E's mommy is a snot, we opted for the "big time" one instead of the free one... and it comes with a minimal cost. But, over the last 2.5 years, we've realized how un-user-friendly her site is (on our end) and realized what a pain it was for us. So now, we've joined the ranks of everyone else and decided to use a free one courtesy of blogger.com. Hopefully this will allow us the freedom to update more often.
We've had a busy two weeks here in Johnston land. During WSFCS Spring Break, Elizabeth started potty training. She worked on it like a champ with Mommy Monday-Thursday, then Daddy took over while Mommy went to a wedding over the weekend. (Sidenote from Becky- if we ever have any more children, I fully plan on leaving town and letting Dan potty train. Both of them did great with it!) Elizabeth was super excited to see Mommy at the airport Sunday night!
Going back to school on Monday was a tough one for Little Bit. Not only did she fall all the way in the toilet (whoops.), but she got bitten by a friend. She's recovering nicely, and enjoyed a "bonus" day at school on Wednesday. (The director and teacher invited her to an extra day- we usually only do Mon and Fri, but since this week we'd miss Friday, she was lucky to go!) The sweetest part about her hard day was that her friend Jack came to her defense... he hugged her while she cried and fussed at the little boy who bit her!
This weekend has been great family time. We had a nice time at brunch with Auntie Jenny and Jim Jim on Friday, followed by a trip to the Farmer's Market. After that we enjoyed movies, yard work, and Easter Eggs this weekend, before the "big day" today of a visit from the Easter Bunny, trip to Reynolda Gardens, and Lunch with Aunt Betty, Dwight, Rozy, Cousin Courtney and Cousin Keith today. It was such a big day that Mommy is going to go wake E up from her "afternoon" nap... and it's nearly 6:00pm!
Thanks for checking out our new blog... Hopefully we'll see more of you!
