Survivors!

I went back to work today. "Work" is a term I use loosely since I only worked for three hours (not even). Nonetheless, it was the first time that Daddy, Aiden, and Sage had to fend for themselves. And since Daddy has changed a whopping 2 diapers since Sage has been born I think all parties involved were a bit worried. Sage must have thought it would be funny to have his every-four-day-diaper- blow-out while I was gone. I came home and found Tom had managed to clean up both boys and give them a bath but could only find a newborn sized jammie sleeper that Sage out grew long ago. Tom stuffed (and I do mean stuffed) him in anyway. He looked so silly! I just laughed and laughed when I saw him. Tom also must have had no patience for cloth diapers because the disposable stash of wipes and diapers had been broken into. However, the children don't look any worse for the wear so all is well that ends well. This is going to be a weekly event so the boys will have lots of bonding time, time to just be boys without Mama looking on so closely, and time to find their own rhythm in making Daddy Day as much fun as possible. Aiden LOVES Daddy Day and as soon as Sage grows and isn't such a Mama's boy I know that he will become their third Musketeer. Tom is a champ for letting me spread my wings a bit and get out of the house while he takes on managing a baby and three year old...it's no easy task. For today they all survived....and aren't they all so cute?

Glad to hear the boys did well with Dad and Tom survived. We are here if you ever need help too.

So how did going back to work feel? Were you ready, was it hard? Sage make it for food or did he take a bottle? Feel like it's been forever since we have talked.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away. 

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
