Well, I can say that Beck is walking now. I am catching him more and more really walking on his own. He has just been stubborn about it and he is finally catching on to it.

Andrew has begun potty training but I think it is going to be more of a gradual process. When I tried to push the no diaper, all big boy underwear, he really got stubborn and wouldn't even go near the bathroom. But so far he has been going every 1/2 hour on the toilet, so that is exciting for us. Also good news is that we have our old Andrew back sleep wise. He is finally going to sleep himself with out the objections of wanting us to stay in with him. It helps that we got a light switch lock so now he can't play with the light switch. It is awesome.

Beck is not sleeping so well, so I think I am going to have to minimize the sleeping during the day. He is just waking up too much during the night thinking it is time to play. He has started shake his head no all the time and thinks it is the most hilarious thing.

Some funnies that have happened recently:

With Beck screaming, I have tried to control it by flicking his forehead to get the idea that it is not a thing he wants to do. So Andrew caught on and one day I caught him punch Beck in the head and say "NO SCREAM BECK!" Needless to say, I have stopped the flicking and funny enough the screaming is getting to be less and less.

Beck likes to play with open doors and he likes to shut them. Andrew was on a timeout and Itold him to come to me when he was done. Beck and I were back in my bedroom and Beck was playing with the door. I have told Andrew time and time again to not shut the door while I am in the room because I want Beck to have the ability to come in. Well Andrew walked into the room and saw that Beck was trying to shut the door and said " No shut the door Beck. No No"

Beck has begun to pick up on many different things but mainly the Wii. He knows that you have to turn the wheel to play as he watches Andrew play MarioKart all the time. So when he gets ahold of the remote he starts turning it like a wheel. It is pretty cute.

As for volleyball, the first tournament that I ran this last weekend was a success and we had a lot of compliments about how it was run very well. It really made me feel good to know that we are doing this for the kids and it is going well. The next tournament will be on the 31st and my team will be playing then and I will also be running it. We just may have a shortage of courts so we are in the midst of finding more courts.

Peter's studying is going well and he continues to study daily to be able to get it all in. We are definitely excited to see what the future holds for us.

We have begun painting the inside of our house and we want to have the living area all finished by the end of the month. We are doing it pretty much all white/grey with 2 accent walls of blue and green. While Mom and Dad were here, we went and got some curtains to put on the back sliding door instead of the crappy vertical blinds we had there before. They go up tonight as well as beginning to tape up all the cabinets so I can paint the kitchen. We figure that we are probably going to own the house for a while so we might as well start getting the things done that we want.

Anyways, Beck needs attention and I need to get things done around the house. We love you all and miss you tons!
