A renewed commitment

I must apologize first for taking so long to add additional entries to our blog. Time must goes by so fast and before you know it it has been over a month and I haven't added anything new to our family's blog. We are recommitted again to be better at keeping up on this.











Well, the Petersons are doing well. We have been having a great summer filled with a lot of fun, busy activities. Noah turned 1 on July 24th and we had a party with many friends and family that came over. The party was also to celebrate our nephew Reece's birthday as well. He turned 3 on the 25th of July. The party was "Farm Themed" and we even had a horse there with a buggy that took the kids and some adults for rides right out in front of our house. (We have to thank the Pattersons for that.) My wife was very artistic with the cake and it was made up as a farm complete with a barn and animals. It was a great party and there was plenty of treats and cake for everyone.


Noah started walking a few weeks ago, it is hard to believe that he is big enough to do this already. He is just trying to stay up with his older brother all of the time! Gavin and him play together well and Gavin really watches out for him!






Another great thing that happened this month is that Gavin decided to be potty trained. After a few months of him using the toilet for #1 only, he has decided to use it for both needs! This is great for Emily and I. We don't have to worry about diapers for him at all! In fact, we have been putting him to bed in underwear and he has stayed dry every night but one! We are both really happy for him. He had a dinosaur that Emily bought him back in March when he first started using the toilet and he was promised that if he used the bathroom every time, he could have that dinosaur, well he finally has the dinosaur and he couldn't be happier!



I also just need to add in her how much I love my wife and how thankful I am for all that she does for our family! Thank you Emily, I love you and your boys love you!
