Hello again!

So, I figured it was time to get back on and blog a bit since big things have been happening at the Mastbrook house. First off, Alex is finally walking! We were beginning to think it would never happen, but around 16 months, he took his first few steps and by a little after 17 months he's pretty much given up crawling for good. It's amazing how fast they grow up! He's really developing his personality and can say a few words and uses a few signs as well. We definitely think that he will have some form of blonde hair if it ever starts really growing!

Next up, Nicholas. As of last Sunday, the 22nd, Nicholas is potty trained! Ok, well half potty trained. He's figured out the pee part, which is half the battle. We're still working on number two, but I'm hoping to get that taught before school starts in September. I'll take the progress that we've made any day though! It's so nice to have one out of diapers! Nicholas is also taking swim lessons this summer and is doing really well. He actually went underwater for 8 seconds today! I'm hoping his newfound skills will come in handy at the beach next month!

I have been busy with a new endeavour that I'm taking on with a friend making baby carriers. We finally finished developing our prototype and are passing it out to testers as of next week. We have high hopes for this business and can't wait for it to get moving! We hope to go live around Mid September if all goes well.

Scott is doing great at his job. He learns a bit more every day and loves the challenge of his work. We just love that he comes home every night and has time to spend with us in the evenings and on the weekends!

We recently made a trip to Minnesota to visit my brother and his fiance and to give the kids a chance to meet their great grandma. I'm really glad we had the opportunity to let the kids meet her while there was still time. Our trip was wonderful and we have a picture to remember it for posterity's sake. :) (See picture above)




All in all everyone is doing well. I hope this update finds everyone doing good as well and we're looking forward to seeing the grandparents next month!
