Hi All,
As usual it has been some time since I last posted. So much has happened to the Mccranskis - but I'll keep it "brief" - this morning we had a breakthru of "grand proportions" - wait for it.... (I did for like 10 minutes).....Kellen pooped in the potty (applause is appropriate).
Kellen is wearing "briefs" - they are so cute - little tighty whities. hilarious. You may be asking yourselves "is he potty trained?" NO he is not. But he is trying and he is mostly successful. It really will be life altering once he is potty trained. We will literally save 10s of 20s of dollars at the grocery store.
Last week was spring break. The elder McCrackens were absolutely wonderful in taking Kellen for two days and two whole nights. And Kellen loves every minute with his GMGP McCracken and his cousin affectionately known to him as Mimi. On Wednesday, Brian and I took Kellen to Sea World - it was supposed to be a reward for the aforementioned potty-trained Kellen, but like so many things in life, we gave in and took him as a pre-potty traning reward. Go ahead and say it Markus, I know what you are thinking - we are weak!
On Thursday Kellen woke up to a new surprise because his Nina Lori came to visit us and stayed with us for a couple nights. He was stoked because he loves to be loved. And he gets lots of love from his family! Thursday morning we closed on a new lot where we plan to build a new home - This will be called from here on out The Sandlot. Kellen's first real estate closing was a smooth transaction filled with diet coke and title company cookies - what more could a kid ask for? After that we whisked him off for yet another tour of the Austin Zoo which he loves. This time he did NOT pick up poop off the ground - so we deemed this a succesful zoo trip. Later that night we took Kellen on a play date with his old friend Lexi. The kids had a great time and Brian and I enjoyed BBQ Chicken with our friends Eric and Jennifer. Good times.
Friday we hung out at home and at GMGP McCrackens house again. It was a lazy day which rocked. Brian hung with The Guyz for Basketball and chicken wings - what more could Guyz ask for?
Saturday saw us partying first with the Rivell Family for Baby Jacob's First birthday party and then partying with the church crowd at a church social. More good times as ususal.
Sunday was low key - gearing up for back to school back to cool and potty training hard core.
That's our life people - relish it - or not. But we think it's pretty great - mostly because of all the other really cool people who make our lives fun.
