Yes, I’m alive. I haven’t posted since Aunt Ashley (my sister) moved in! And can I just say, I LOVE having another wife around (ha ha). She is extraordinarily popular with the boys, too. She’s popular to the point that I had to put stickers on our hall clock and tell Ian not to go snuggle with her in the morning until the small hand is between the stickers. She’s still looking for her Cardiovascular Sonographer job, but I’m not in a huge hurry to send her off each day. The boys and I love her company and she’s a huge help. We’re thrilled she decided to move up from Florida.
We’ve been busy shifting things around in the house to give Ashley some living space, doing projects with the boys and taking interesting day trips.

Yay! I cleaned the playroom!

The boys climbing a tree at Chattahoochee Bend SP
Enjoying pies after apple picking at Mercier Orchards

Ashley reclaimed our property line

The boys enjoyed rock hopping at Sweetwater Creek

The bigger boys drilled some pumpkins

Ashley helped the boys make some cool stuff out of foam pieces

I made the boys a spy fortress

Elijah insists on making his own sandwiches

...and choosing his own style
So that’s the highlights of our last month. I’ll have more “home schooly” stuff to add at another time.
