Yes, I am still alive:)

So, I haven't blogged in forever!!! So, I thought I would just do a quick update on what's going on with Owen and in our lives.
Oh, my sweet Owen. He will be turning 3 at the end of this month! How is that even possible? I am in the process of planning his birthday party. It is going to be at one of his favorite places, Jump Planet. I am really looking forward to it, and hope that it is a success.
Owen is now potty trained! He still wears a pull up at night, but has not worn a diaper during the day in over 3 weeks. It is awesome! We took our time with the potty training, and it took about 2 months, but we went really slow. And when we finally went full time with it he was more than ready.
He is now in his second year of the toddler program at Marysville Cooperative Preschool. He is doing wonderfully. I am serving on the board this year as a toddler co-chair. It is a lot of extra work, but I like being involved. Owen is also still attending Little Gym classes. He is currently in a Super Beasts class, but will likely go up to the next level after his birthday. When that happens he will be going by himself while I wait in the lobby. Yikes! I am scared, but his teacher thinks that he is ready.
He has changed so much lately. He is seeming so much more like a little boy, and far less babyish. He is roughly 31 lbs, & 36" by my estimate. We will know more when he has his 3 year checkup. And he is talking up a STORM! I knew it would happen eventually, and boy oh boy was I right. The kid never shuts up! He is always singing or telling me some story. I swear he says his abc's a million times a day. But I love it:)
As far as Ramond and I go, things are pretty much the same. We had a crazy summer, with Ramond being home very little due to work. Things are finally starting to settle down a bit now. We are starting to make some decisions regarding our future. We had always planned to make WA a temporary move, and while it still may be, we have decided to start looking at buying a house. We are meeting with a realtor on Wed. We aren't in a huge hurry, but want to see what's out there.
My work is going well. I didn't work much at all this summer, due to Ramond working so much and our census being incredibly low, but am now getting back into it a bit. It's nice to talk to adults, and love on those sweet babies. And I love coming home to my boys, and nothing is better than when Owen runs up to me, hugs and kisses me, and tells me he missed me. Melt. My. Heart.
We have also booked a trip to HAWAII!!! I am so excited. I have wanted to go there forever and I finally talked Ramond into it. We are going for a week in December and I cannot wait.
Really, that's all that is new. Maybe I won't go so long before the next update. Maybe;)
