Ben "poops the pottie", Tahoe and Girls leaving

Ben poops in the potty.  Literally a log.  Probably TMI, but totally true.  He didn't like it at all either.  He cried, but it was probably the better considering he crosses his legs and twists himself and then cries while he holds it in.  Poor little guy just hasn't put it together that it is so much easier when sitting on the potty.  Hopefully it's the beginning of not buying diapers for 4 kids.

Went to Tahoe on Thursday (8/12).  It was a glorious day!  We couldn't have asked for a better day!  So lucky for us for sure.  I'm so glad to be a part of RTT to connect with my peeps, but it also helps to have a bit of a hookup for the Tahoe MS Dixie cruise.  It was fabulous!  We boated out to Emerald Bay.  So, so beautiful.  We enjoyed being in a great space that allowed

Girl leave on 8/13.  Wow.  So hard for me.  It never gets easier.  The girls both want to live here.  Then when they say it, they get guilt ridden text messages back.  Like "I must be a terrible father...I guess I should take back those Lakers tickets".  Wow...really?  You really think it's appropriate for a father to blame his children for not wanting to live with him?  Kaitlyn has been real clear for months.  Gillian took it upon herself to mail JF a letter explaining her position.  He just rejected it and said that it was because she was here in Reno that she felt that way.  He also tells her that the judge decided and that's the way it is.  Funny how it's changed from him supporting what they want (when they wanted to live in Vegas) to "that's the way it is" when they want to be in Reno.  What a gem.  Blaming the kids.  Rock on JF!  What a rat bastard.  I'm certain he thinks I put the ideas in their heads.  Little does he know that buying them everything doesn't buy love and family.  HELLLLOOOO! But no, he cannot think that way.
