The TILE!!

As you may or may not know, the tile in our house is cracking. In our kitchen, our master bathroom and our laundry room - there are all of these cracks that have recently appeared in the tile. I called the builder who was super nice - he said he would come look at it when he got back from vacation. I emailed him the pictures below in hopes he might have some idea about what is going on. He mentioned something about a sinkhole, but the previous owners said they had to have the tile replaced in the same areas once before. I am hoping that doesn't mean there is something wrong with the foundation!

In other news, I am going back to school! I got accepted into the master's degree program at the University of Montevallo and am trying to determine when to talk to my manager here about possibly being able to leave on Tuesdays and Thursdays to take class. I am waiting to findo ut if I can get aid to take the classes online through FCCJ.

Madelyn turns 4 in a week and a day. I cannot believe it! She is getting so grown up! I hope to post some new pics of the girls soon. Take care!

Potty training, here we come!

Wow, I can't believe this - but I honestly think Maci is on the road to being potty trained. We have been putting her on the potty in the mornings when we wake her up - and over the weekend she actually told me she had to go a few times. She came to me yesterday and took me into the bathroom and she went poo on the potty! I am so happy becuase this is the first step to her getting in touch with that feeling and understanding the need to go. I hope by her 2nd birthday that she is off diapers. One less cost in that ever expanding grocery bill is a welcome deletion!

Pictures from our visit with the family!

Maci's Hair!

I know, I know

It's been like forever and a day since I have posted. Things were a little hectic and crazy over the holiday - but very fun! Tania and the girls came to visit and we had a great time! We hung out, watched movies and went to Oak Mountain. I will try to get some pictures up either later today or tomorrow.

Not much going on here - I cut Maci's bangs because she was driving me crazy with her inability to see where she was going. I think she looks cute and the lady at daycare likes it too! Tiff was right when she said Maci resembles Matilda with her new do!

Madelyn had a big adventure on Saturday! She has been asking me if she could hang out with this little girl from school and although the girl's mother and I had attempted to exchange phone numbers, we never really got together. Saturday she called and asked if Madelyn could go to the lake with them and I let her go. She had a great time and now she wants Kaylie to come to our house and play. Angela at work is supposed to be giving Madelyn a bunch of dress up clothes, so that will be fun when she finally does come over.

I can't believe Madelyn's birthday is in 3 weeks! She will be 4!! I bet she is smart enough to start shool at that age. :)
