Holman Happenings

This blog was created for the Holman/Stevens clan to keep track of eachother. By posting pictures and all the other comings and goings of our individual families we can keep in touch even though we are all far away.

Update!

So once again it has been longer than I have wanted it to be but I thought I would just let everyone know what's happening here. I have just been trying to find my way around. Last week was filled with trying to find Ethan a preschool. I visited several and finally found one that wasn't too expensive and not too far from where we live. He is already excited to start. If only he could realize that September is still pretty far away.

Yesterday I started up with potty training Emily. It is never a fun task, but I think we are doing okay. Yesterday she had 2 accidents, but made it to the potty chair every other time. Today she is being stubborn (I wonder who she gets that from?), she is refusing to sit on the potty chair. She hasn't had any accidents, but I see it coming since she woke up dry and hasn't gone yet this morning. Hopefully when she decides she can't hold it any longer she will sit on the potty chair and not just go in her underwear. We'll see...

Other than that, we have been hanging out inside mostly, trying to avoid the rain. We are ready for the sunshine so we can head out to the pool. I think that it is supposed to clear up next week. I will try and take some fun pictures of them in the pool and post them for all to see. I hope that everyone is doing well and I'll keep you posted!

It's a BOY!

We were finally able to have the ultrasound and find out that our new little one is a boy! I had to go to the Dr. by myself this time around so I had the ultrasound tech write down the sex of the baby in an envelope and we opened as a family that night. It was so fun to see Ethan's reaction. He wanted a boy so bad and started jumping up and down when I read the news. Anytime we say anything about his new little brother he gets a huge grin on his face!

We are finally starting to feel settled in our new apartment. We had a problem with a leaky roof, and a leaky sink, but they seem to be fixed now so we are set. We will be making a trip to Houston next weekend to close on our house. That will be nice to have done. One less thing to have to worry about. Now that the internet is up and running again I will be better about posting and keep everyone updated as the baby's arrival gets closer! We love you and miss you all!

P.S. Watch for an email soon with all our updated info!
