Wow, so it has definately been too long, in fact an entire summer since I last wrote. Since my last post my little sister got hitched, M has started talking up a storm, and E is completely diaperless.
So let's look back at the past 2 1/2 months. My sister's wedding was gorgeous. A little rainy but completely beautiful. My mom altered my dress well enough so that I no longer looked pregnant, which I am not, and my boys were the absoulute cutest children at the wedding (okay so I am a little biased) baby J was pretty darn cute as well. My husband also looked fantastic...we were quite a handsome family if I do say so myself. E performed his job as ring bearer. There was a little concern as he fell asleep literally minutes before pictures as I was getting him into his tux, but he woke up just 10 minutes before he had to walk down the aisle and was all business and ready to go from then on. It was hilarious....oh and he did not walk down the aisle but sprinted instead.
M is now talking like crazy....let's see what can he say. Here is the list for (my future reference):
Mommy, Daddy, Eyi, Bo-ie, come, dit (sit), pease, dank you, Nana, Pa-pa, Weeya (Will), Dosh (Josh), No, Yes, nuk, moak (milk), duice (juice), rain rain go way, car, car deat, food, and I am sure there are many more.
E is diaperless 24/7, which is completely awesome. He had been diaperless all the time except at night. He was still wetting a diaper on most occasions. Then one night as we were getting him ready for bed he declared he didn't want to wear a diaper. Well, we have a waterproof sheet on his bed so we figured why not. Turns out that kid knows his body well. We have been diaperless for well over 4 weeks and he has only had 3 accidents. Hip hip hooray!
Other than that not much to tell here. We are enjoying the summer with Will off and are really excited about our venture to eat more local food. We are also attempting to preserve more local food for the winter.

Hi there,
I'm not sure I've introduced myself. My name is Sarah and I'm a fellow CHSFS'er with a 2.5 year old from ethiopia and an 18 mo. bio son. I have your blog on my rss feed. We are also attempting to eat more local foods and we are growing food too in our modest veggie garden. Have you read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver? That is the book that has helped me see all the reasons why eating locally is so much better for us and the world.
Your boys are too cute. Aren't we lucky!?
Sarah
