September 2015 - Spanish preschool, first haircut, and the chickens start laying eggs!

We also got to welcome cute baby Roman to the family this month.  He's pretty dang adorable. Tyler started potty training and he's a natural.  He caught on by the end of the first day.  When I asked if he was done going to the bathroom yet he said, "No. Be patient!"  And then "I d
