Back in the Swing





It has been a while since my last post. Well, a day shy of a month to be exact! I can't believe it's been that long... Preschool started for Thomas. MDO started for Hudson one day a week. Community Bible Study began it's new year for Hudson, Thomas and me. We've had birthday parties coming out the ears. We've already battled a light case of the stomach bug. And consignment sale season is upon us (my hunting season - ha!). Busy Busy Busy. So that's my big excuse for not posting. After a nice relaxing summer, the Franklin household is back in the swing of the new school year!



So what else is new? Hudson has started to clap and wave bye-bye in the past few weeks and just yesterday he started squealing, for everyone's listening pleasure (but mostly his). He is also climbing the stairs like a pro. Thomas is loving school and playing with all the boys in his class (there was only 1 boy in his class last year). So I'm hearing a lot about boy stuff like Spiderman and Power Rangers. Thomas doesn't know anything about them except that when you play Spiderman you run around and shoot out webs. He is also the proud (but temporary) pet-parent of a praying mantis. I found "Mr. Mantis" on Monday and he is now living in a critter box until Show and Tell on Friday. I'm not sure how long after that I'll be able to handle having him in our home.
