Hello Family and Friends,We wanted to find a way to keep everyone up to date on what we have been up to over here in Hawaii. A friend of mine had started this blog a couple of months ago and I really look forward to Monday morning when she has posted news about she and her family. I thought...what the heck...I'll try that! It's been really fun setting up the site and posting pictures of our family. I hope you all enjoy getting the news on our family. I will update the site on Sunday so you'll be able to hear new stuff at least by Monday morning!!
Tom just got back from a 3 1/2 week TDY to San Antonio, Texas. Tyler and I missed him terribly. Tyler woke up most mornings and said, "Where's Daddy?". I explained to him that daddy went on a plane to go to work. So everytime we heard a plane go over he would say, "Daddy plane?!". Oh, I just felt so bad! When we went to the airport to get him he could barely stand still when he saw his daddy. We are both so glad to have him home with us!!!! While Tom was traveling back to Hawaii his flight took him through Atlanta so he took a few days leave and spent a weekend with Caleb. They went fishing, four-wheeling, cooked over the campfire and mainly just spent time together!
While Daddy was gone, Tyler and I spent Easter together by going on an Easter Egg Hunt here at Hickam. He went with the kids who could walk up to age 2. He was really good about collecting eggs and was VERY excited to open them....especially when he realized there was candy in there. There was an easter bunny but he would NOT get near the bunny!! I even offered to sit with him....it was still a NO!! :) Tyler and I also spent some time at the beach together. He loves the water and playing in the sand. Lots of digging holes and filling buckets with water!!
Tyler has surprised us and has taken such an interest in potty training. I have been on Spring Break for 2 weeks now and I've been giving him the opportunity to go without his diaper when we are just in the house. He has been going on the potty all by himself for almost a week...when he's not wearing a diaper. Today he pooped on the potty!!! How cool!!!! I have tried putting his training pants on instead of the diaper to see if he could get used to knowing he can't go in them but it hasn't worked as of yet. Does anyone have any suggestions as what to do next? We know he's still so young (19 months) so we aren't pushing it but if he's interested and ready we want to help him along!
Keep checking back for new pictures and stories!!
Love, Tom, Kari, Caleb and Tyler

I love it!!! It was so great talking to you last week~and I am so excited to hear all the stories from your blog! So Fun!!
When we potty trained Tristan we let him wear just underwear that way he would feel what it was like to bet "wet" and then the only time he would wear training pants was when we went outside of the house. That's the only thing I can suggest. It's great to hear that he's wanting to potty train. I look forward to seeing what you guys have been up too. Look for more pictures on our blog site soon. I'll be posting some of our family vacation and my recent trip to Poland and the Czech Republic this weekend. I can't wait! Polish Pottery and Crystal shopping is going to be AWSOME!
