playing catch up....
Not sure there is a good way to play catch up, so this is how it's going to happen. I will type an update from the pc... then upload a update of pictures from my phone(rather than email them to myself from phone, then upload them on here.)
My boys are growing like crazy, and learning so many new things. Julian has been learning state capitols,practicing riding without training wheels, learning about underwater animals, and the pledge. Jai has been pulling himself up, cruising the furniture. He plays patticake, and claps his hands with excitement...and when he wants attention..haha. He has also learned to growl at me, and fake cough.. such accomplishments!
Julian's newest thing is angry birds, my goodness he is obsessed! his newest favorite words are, "Hot Diggidy" when things go his way, and " awww phewwwy" & " darn it"when things arent in his favor.
Jai's vocabulary consist of "dada" which he says the most. "Bubba" which is said all the time was well. "mama" which is said maybe once a day..lol little turd. and "ba-ba" which he's only said a hand full of times.
Our days have been spent in a variety of ways.. we have been making weekly trips to the library to get new books, movies, for both leisure, educational, and sanity purposes. It's nice to get out and browse the books while Julian plays in the kid area building puzzles and playing games. This week our check out was all sea/ocean related.. and manner based. I am unsure if it's a phase, or the age.. but Julian's manners have been out the window lately, and it's making me crazy! So far this week it's been okay, only because 'the easter bunny is watching'. But come next week im sure the attitude will be back in full swing.
The Spring weather has us spending much more time outdoors in our own yard, going for walks/bike rides, park playtime and even spending time at the marina, and secluded beach. Josh has gone on boat rides with friends, and as a family we have had countless BBQ's. We have visited the easter bunny at the mall... too!
Jai has two new teeth(both bottom) and Ju has had a recent visit to the dentist! To our surprise he is cavity free and teeth look wonderful! I thought sure he'd had some considering he has nighttime lows, fixed with a little midnight milk/juice/snacking.
Julian has been doing well with his diabetes, we are still on injections..and havent looked back at the pump since our last admission. Julian seems very happy with this decision and we are too. He has had ONE 'espisode//seizure' since november.. and it happend to be last weekend. thankfully it was very MILD and didnt last long at all.
Lately, we also have rearranged making Jai's room more of a play area for him, and remodeled the boy's bathroom. We have a bit of work left to do in the laundry room & master bathroom and we are finished. We have decided to put our house on the market after Jai's birthday. We have a 1.5 year left until we are due to move again. We want to get the house sold before hand, otherwise our family will be split up & Josh will have to go geoBachelor. This is something we want to avoid at all cost, even if it means our house sells before we're due to relocate leaving us to downsize to an apartment in the mean time. Total pain in the butt, and a lesson learned. We adore our home, will miss it & have made some of the absolute BEST memories here.... but it's all the nature of the lifestyle we choose.
i have recently given up facebook. I hope this will remain to be the case for a long while. It's amazing to me how much more light my day feels. How much more attentive i am to small details of my day, without the distraction. My kids are getting more of my undivided attention & honestly i am enjoying not knowing who has the stomach bug, who ate sushi for lunch, who hates their job, ETC. I know far to much about people, as they do to me. I miss being in the loop, but it's simply BEST to not be so darn nosey. Also, I have a bit on my plate....
School is starting soon, and this semester i will NOT miss. I have changed my major, and im excited to get started again. Once summer semester is over, Fall will be here and then i will offically be beginning homeschooling Julian daily, following actually lesson plans. I want to UNschool as much as possible, but being a planner i will need weekly guidelines to keep me on track. Im sure it will be a chanallenge, but im sure it'll get easier as we get into the routine of things.
its been busy busy busy lately, no doubt ill fail you again with lack of updates, but hopefully i will be more dedicated, and focused then before.
Now that you're updated.... here comes the haul of pictures.
