Hello? Is anyone out there?

I'm thinking I probably lost my audience at this point since I haven't updated in so long. Lots has happened since I last posted - for starters, Magician is finally potty trained! (Insert happy dance here.) I thought the day would never come. I was sure I would be sending him off to college with toothpaste, a comforter and a HUGE bag of diapers. In fact, he is pretty much night trained as well. Even Supergerky, with all his superpowers, isn't yet night trained.

The other big news is that Supergerky just lost his 4th tooth - he now has both of his upper teeth missing. He looks like he was on the losing end of an ice hockey brawl. He is so pleased though! I find it amazing that he understands that (stop reading here if Santa still visits your house on Christmas!) there is no such thing as Santa Clause, but has no problem believing that a fairy steals into his room while he is sleeping and turns teeth into money. I guess if someone wanted to leave money for me in the night I wouldn't question it either. Some things are best left at face value. Between the tooth fairy and his lemonade stand over the weekend he has more money than I do!

Speaking of the lemonade stand, my goodness, that had to be the cutest thing I ever saw in my life! He made a whopping $11! Every time a car came by our street, or someone was out and about he and his sidekick (Magician) would jump up and down and wave their arms and scream at the top of their lungs "LEMONADE! LEMONADE!" And when someone would actually stop (and plenty of people did) he would very politely say "thank you for stopping. How may I help you?" And then would finish the sale with "thank you! Please come again." I was so proud.

There seems to be so much to talk about - but right now I need to get back to work. I will resolve to try to be better about this - and thanks if you are still checking in.
