i find it interesting that i am getting friend requests when i haven't been on here in like 3 months......

anyways, for those who have been keeping up, my husband is STILL gone. yep. it's been 13 long freaking months so far. he should be home round halloween, but we'll see. they like to play with my emotions about those return dates.

i've been going to the gym a lot lately. 4 or 5 days a week. i'm honestly not sure why i go. something to do. a break from the kids.

oh the kids....the kids are fantastic. canon is actually TALKING now. full on sentences and everything. it's so great to be able to understand what he is saying and the things he says are so cute. anytime we see a humvee or an LMTV he says "that's daddy's truck!" *dies* so cute. ephraim has a BIG personality for such a little person. i see so much of myself in him. he feels everything very passionately. (ie, he's moody like his momma. lol.) i love the way his little face lights up when he sees me and he runs and throws himself against me and wraps his arms around my legs and squeezes so tight. he has a bit of a temper. i've already had to get on to him several times that pushing canon and/or slapping canon is not okay. "hands are not for hitting" is a pretty common phrase at our house now. he's a little spit fire that one.

i'm still very much into babywearing though now that ephy is older and all about the walking he doesn't let me wear him around the house much these days. i do still wear him quite a bit when we go out, though i fear those days might be coming to an end as well. i can't wait to have another.
