Wanting to Get Back

So, I haven't blogged in a very long time. That is understandable since I now have two children very close in age. Add in breastfeeding and there is always a child attached to me. It's wonderful, but exhausting.

I don't have a lot of time for a detailed update at the moment. However, I want to say that I do want to get back into blogging regularly. I honestly don't care if people read it or not... I just like the outlet and the community. I also journal on paper every night and write out things that the boys did or discovered, and events that make me happy. It is also an outlet for deep, personal reflection. I find this blog to me more of an update on life for those that do have an interest and I apologize for being gone for so long!

Also, now that the computer is no longer located in Dean's room - makes it easier to be on here and not wake him if he's sleeping.

The boys are both doing very well. We are in the process of teaching Carson to talk and he is being so stubborn about it. He was in speech therapy and was tested for sensory issues, etc. and there is absolutely nothing wrong with him. He just doesn't want to talk yet. We are a family (on both sides) of late talkers and you know..... I'm currently fine not having a toddler asking me a million questions and going "Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom." all of the time. Carson, you talk when you're ready buddy.

Dean is perfect. Obviously. He is growing fine, eating fine, acting fine, and all over wonderful. I mean, I do miss sleep but I have an amazing support system and family members willing to take the boys for a few hours so I can grab a nap now and again. Dean will be 5 months old in a week (SOB) and is working on sitting up and shows massive interest in eating already. I did make him some cereal with breast milk and he surprisingly ate it! Carson never touched the stuff. Those boys are going to be complete opposites. Fine by me. Makes things more interesting.

I have been back to work for awhile now. When I first went back I was in the floral department since they had a need for me, and then once they were fully staffed again I got bumped over to Customer Service since they were in need of someone. So, currently I am the employee that helps out the departments in need. I'm cool with it. Keeps things from getting boring!

We are still going strong on a plant based diet and now my parents are in on it too! That's probably some of the best news I have ever gotten. We have been having some of the most wonderful meals and everyone feels so much better. I couldn't be happier.

That's all the updates for now! It's vegan pizza night and it's time to get cooking!

My sweet boys!
