My suggestion for potty training. I trained Brendan in one long weekend.The only thing is you may want some help with the other kids so you can focus soley on one kid at a time or both twins. Everyone I know has used this method and it works!!

Dacia & Brad, you are so blessed to have five beautiful and healthy kids. I love to look and see what you have posted.LOVE YOU,AUNT CATHY -CATHY STANLEY Nov 07 2007
Dacia- I love love love reading your blog! We have never met but I literally laugh out loud all the time when I read your stories. I hope that as my family grows I will be able to embrace motherhood and be a fun mom like you are! I just love that you love your kids so much and are sucking everything you can out of life despite what many would see as major obstacles, ie kids. We are friends of Aaron's and you inspire me. Thanks for being so candid and keep it up! Easy for me to say right, I only have one. I'm praying for your energy as you are losing nap time! Ashley Nolan - Nov 06 2007

I love your journal! You will be so thankful for the memories when years from now it all starts to run together! I work with your father in law and have four children. The middle two are twin girls age 14 with boys ages 16 and 12. Your pictures and comments bring back many great memories. Please know you are in my prayers. I look forward to meeting you soon. I have to agree with you that the age of two is a great time. I am also loving them as teenagers too! Blessings, Cindy -Cindy VanKempen Nov 06 2007
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I think it is great that you are getting out with the kids. I can only imagine what a great sense of accomplishment you must have right now! You are so awesome!

Dacia and Brad, What a blessing! All of those HEALTHY, precious little ones. I have had so much fun reading the stories and looking at the pictures. I have had ya'll in my thoughts and prayers and know that Nancy will keep me updated on all the events at your house. Look forward to seeing ya'll when you come to Georgia! -Cynthia Leach Oct 18 2007
Wow, you took on an adventure already!! I have a hard time doing it with just two. Love the stories, keep them coming.

Dacia you look GREAT! Who would have guessed you just had your second set of twins. They are all beautiful children. Making the front page is pretty cool. I know you are having to get on a new schedule, but you can do it. I am amazed at how you have handled everything. I don't think I could do it. I miss you guys so much!!! Thanks for sharing your news and pictures. I can't wait until you move back to Georgia next year. We will definately come visit you often. Love ya, Delana -Delana Bruckmair Oct 15 2007
Hey guys!!! Congratulations! I am so happy for you! Enjoy your new bundles of joy. I'm praying for you all! Keep in touch...princesshutch@carolina.rr.com
Love you! :) -Diana Hutchens Oct 12 2007
i love the baby they are so cute i can not wait to see them all tell everyboby hey love you byebye -(:taylor:) Oct 11 2007
Dacia,
This too shall pass....maybe too quickly! Take it one day at a time, let those who offer help pitch in and take over for a while, and just savor each and every moment and breath that you have with those tiny bundles. Those middle of the night feeds will pass quickly and will only be a fading memory in no time. You are doing an amazing job and I can only stand in awe of your strength, which I know comes from Him. I will pray for you and for all of your little ones and things change in the Harris house! God bless!! -Christy Slocum - Canton, GA Oct 10 2007
Dacia, you are not failing. You were fabulous when I was over yesterday. I am so amazed and impressed at how you are adjusting. I'm here for you if you need ANYTHING! Love you!!!!! -Melanie Oct 09 2007
Having a few hard days and shedding lots of tears does not mean you are failing... you are an awesome mom! These first few months with a new baby (or two)are always hard and the way you feel is completely normal. You may feel like you are failing, but rest assured the rest of us are so proud of you and how strong we know you are. So... Cry, cry, cry! It doesn't make you a failure and it just might make you feel better! So many people love you- let anyone who offers to help, help! You don't realize how many people are just dying to get their hands on those 5 adorable Harris children! I love you. Hang in there! -Susan Oct 08 2007
