THE POOL

So our townhouse backs onto a pool and that backs onto the golf course.  We love it!

 you can see the golf course in the back

these lizards are everywhere, we found one in the house one morning, we found one dead (or did as hazel would say) in the pool one morning - gross. the kids loved "getting rid of it"

this is during our first week in TCI

 dekker has graduated from clinging to mom or dad or the stairs, to swimming a couple meters without a life

jacket in just 4 weeks!

i'm not usually into nature shots, but i love these flowers!!!

i feel like my kids are so stickin lucky! they are livin the life!

and don't they look so cute!!!

here are their "model" shots



yay for undies!

I had no intentions of even attempting potty training dekker until he was at least 3. It was a nightmare with hazel because she resisted and i thought i would put it off untill i knew he was ready. well he started  panicking everytime he had to pee, so i showed him how to go on the pot and he basically trained himself! he has been so good about it because he wants to be a big boy - he's even had a lot of nights that's he's kept his pull ups dry! i can count the amount of accidents he's had on one hand!
