Searching for our tree of life

Well, we just got back in town from a week visiting the family. I had gotten an e-mail about the airline selling 19 dollar (each way) tickets to FWB and we also found out Dave and Molly (Jeremy's Bro. and Sis-n-law) were going so we couldn't pass it up. We ended up flying for 59 dollars round trip per person. You can't beat that! Jakob got to play with his cousins at his grandmas house, we took the kids to the beach. It was in the 40's and 50's that morning, which is why all the kids were wearing warm clothes, but by the afternoon it was a gorgeous day. The water was still pretty cold, but that didn't stop Will from stripping down and getting wet :)  My parents and Jeremy's parents took us out one night (while Kara babysat :) to the boathouse and we got to have a "grown up" dinner, which I enjoyed. Even though I love my bubby it was nice to have a dinner with adult conversation. The food was SO good too! While we were there the whole budget thing with the government came up and on Friday Jeremy's boss called him and told him he had to come in for 4 hours today and then he'd be off work (without pay) until further notice. Thankfully they passed a bill where he's at least working till Thursday. Please pray this all gets worked out quickly so Jeremy can keep working (and getting paid!!!). Today I am officially trying potty training. I put Jakob in his Toy Story undies this morning after trying to get him to potty. He went to the living room and only a few minutes later started to pee. He stopped peeing and started crying and pulling at the undies. I took him to the potty and he went the rest of it in his potty, so I know he can hold it if he wants! We'll see how this goes!
