We had a great 4th of July! We didn't make it to any fireworks this year since Jon was out of town, and I didn't feel like braving it by myself...but we will for sure be going to some next year. I so miss going to fireworks. Anyways...the kids and I had a good time hanging out with our friends from Sunday school.

The boys are continuing to do well. We are going to attempt potty training with Justus. He got to pick out his new big boy underwear at the store the other day. He picked Cars underwear. We will see how it goes. I'm sure the first few days will be rough, but we think he is ready. We are hoping Matthias will follow closely behind Justus in potty training, but we aren't going to rush him. Matthias is continuing to throw his little fits, but we know it's just a phase.

Charley is doing great. We switched her to a gentle formula and also bought some new bottles in order to hopefully help her be a little less cranky in the evening. It seems to have helped so far. She was getting pretty fussy towards the end of the evening...the time when she is awake the most...and we thought it may be due to air in her belly or her formula. The only problem now is that because we switched two things at once, we have no idea which one was the source of the problem...the formula or air in her belly. Oh well, the gentle formula won't hurt her, so we aren't too concerned. This week Charley will be 1 month old!! I can't believe it. She will have to go to the doctor this week. I'm curious to see how big she has gotten.

Other than that things are going great. We had a garage sale this morning and actually made a little bit of money. We were pleased and got rid of a lot of stuff that was cluttering up our shed. I got a new camera so be expecting some pictures soon!!
