Lots of pictures and catching up to do!

Between Ashley driving up to look at houses in Virginia, Patrick finishing up his thesis, keeping the house 'show ready' for potential buyers, and all the homework that Lola, Lucy, and Hudson have from school, we are WAY behind on the blog.

This has been an exciting time for all of us. Hudson is finally onto trying some real people foods, and we have had lots of fun trying to convince him that we are not poisoning him.

when sweet potatoes are on the menu, most of them end up on our bib!

While Ashley was gone to Virginia, Patrick put the octogon back together for some floor time with his favorite little buddy.

Hudson was trying to tell Daddy that he wanted to facetime Grammy. Patrick was more than happy to make it happen...

after people food comes bath time!

After Hudson's bath, he thought it was time to curl up on the couch and watch some TV

"okay daddy. now show me how to turn the black box on"

The only TV that would be turned on that night would be the syracuse game. Hudson thought that if he dressed up in some game gear that daddy would relent and turn the TV on!

okay daddy. I've got my seat all figured out for the big game!

When mommy was back home, everyone wanted some love...

Just another typical ride home from school for Lola. Nothing beats being by the water.
