still around

i didn't go anywhere. we dumped our cable and internet service not because of cost but because of the constant draw of screen time. for a month we had nothing, then i got internet access on my phone so i was able to look at a few sites and reconnect. we recently got internet service back up so jeremy can do his job search from the house instead of having to rely on public computers.

we are all doing fabulous. august had his third birthday a few weeks ago and we got him a basic starter set of the Plan City. i highly reccomend plan toys because of their responsible use of 'waste' trees for making the toys and paying a fair wage to workers in thailand. plus, the products are freaking awesome. my parents bought several add ons to the set as it's expensive and funds are tight around here. we had a nice party for him the week later and he still sings happy birthday to himself.

i've been working to perfect our house, painting and changing things. our room is now an adult bedroom because we don't cosleep with husdson anymore. i miss it but he can't stay up there until he is able to do stairs alone. august likes to visit in the middle of the night after he wakes up to go potty. we are pull-up free now and it's awesome. he's so big. i am going to post more often but it won't be much more than what he and his brother do because there is so so much...every day there is something new and exciting.

my favorite so far: at the park last week august looked up at me and said, "my a big boy, but my a little boy too, mama. my hold you." 'my hold you' is his way of saying PICK ME UP! love love love love. i adore the way hudson shakes his head and goes 'ya ya ya Ny Ny!" when i ask him if it's time to go night-night.

they are both obsessed with watermelon, Cars movie(august will tell you by name the ones he has to buy to complete his collection), tractors, friends, the sandbox, my protein bars that i have to share every morning...
