okay, so i haven't been to blog-land in about 9 months. when things got really busy the end of last year, i just lost the motivation to blog. i finally decided to update today. good thing to do on another rainy day. it has literally been raining here in Georgia for almost a week straight. we've had very few dry moments and very little sunshine. i know we need the rain since we've had such an awful drought the last couple years, but this is ridiculous! it's hard to keep two little monkeys entertained indoors for days on end, especially when playing outside is one of their favorite things to do.
the boys have both started back to preschool. doodlebug is going 4 days a week for 4 hours and peanut goes 2 days a week for 3 hours....although starting this week he will be staying an extra hour for lunch so i can pick them up at the same time. so far they seem to love their teachers and are enjoying school. they are both so eager to show me what they've done in school each day when i pick them up. i love that they have such excitement for learning and pride in the projects they do. i hope that stays with them throughout their school careers.
we are in week 3 of college football. so far, Auburn and Alabama have both won all there games so a good start to the season. i do love when college football starts back up...but i will say, by the end of the season, i'm ready for it to be over! we tend to get on football overload around here.
so a few weeks ago we started a chore and behavior chart for doodlebug so he could start earning an allowance and start improving on some of his behavior. so far he has done really great on the chores...don't even really have to ask him to do them now. the behavior on the other hand is still a work in progress. we have our ups and downs with that part but hopefully with time we'll make some improvements.
peanut is progressing very nicely at his auditory verbal therapy he has once a week. he has moved into the next phase of the therapy and is really taking off with his speech. it's like music to my ears to hear his sweet voice saying words and making short sentences. this is such a vast difference from 9 months ago when he first started wearing his hearing aids. he wasn't really talking at all...just a few basic words. it's really amazing how his improved hearing has opened up a whole new world for him. i can't wait to see what the rest of the year holds for him.
the pictures posted are from the first day of preschool this year.

Oh, I'm so very happy to see you posting again! I swear, the boys have grown a foot since we last saw you guys. How in the world does time go by so quickly?
Look at them! All grown up and going to school. Glad to hear they love it and they're doing well. It sounds like Peanut is making excellent progress -- I'm so proud for him. I can sympathize on the behavior issues with your bug. At least Sybil doesn't live here full-time anymore. For the most part it's better, but Petunia still has her moments. How about we send each other good vibes, and send up lots of prayers!
I miss you, my friend. Hugs and kisses to all from Petunia and me.
