Sunday

So we have now begun week 2 of Sean being gone and today was a very productive day. We hung out this morning and then went to the Farmer's Market this afternoon and picked up some corn for our garden and a different type of pumpkin than we already have. We came home and had some lunch and the boys took really good naps. While they were napping I was able to clean the house and even cleaned the oven, now that's always a miracle. I haven't completely gotten used to taking all the garbage's out yet but I'm sure I will. When Hunter got up from his nap today he was talking about us all eating dinner and about daddy. I had to tell him that daddy was still away working and he asked me if daddy was still his daddy. It broke my heart, but we talked about how daddy will be back and we will keep talking to him on the phone and making him pictures. It has been a hard transition for him since Sean has been home and laid off for the past 5 months to now have him gone. They were pretty inseparable while Sean was home and it was so wonderful to see the father/son bond happening. Hunter enjoyed working outside helping dad and going to the boy store (Home Depot). He's having a hard time understanding why he can't go work with dad now. The hardest part has been that in the last week he has begun asking "why" about EVERYTHING. It is awesome to watch them become such curious little people about the world around them. Brayden is in love with animals just like Hunter was at this age and he loves that our cats tolerate him poking their noses, pulling their ears and laying on them giving love. He was sitting on the couch this morning and kept saying "kitty" while he was petting Little One. He has also now learned how to push the dining room chairs out so he can climb onto the table. This morning he demonstrated to me how he can pull himself up on the edge of his crib and almost reach his toe over, not much longer and I'm going to have to come up with a solution for that. Any suggestions?
