the great catchup.

It’s been awhile so I thought I’d update you on the past few months. So here is a list with pictures of our recent days.

July. Within days of updating this blog in July, I began having residual trouble from keto. The epileptic episodes had ceased but then my body began fighting every single thing I ate. I was nauseated and having stomach pain daily. That was super frustrating. My doctor advised me to go off of keto and so I did. I haven’t had any other trouble since the end of July. I eat normal food and feel fine now.

The rest of July was all about exploring in the sunshine, playdates, long walks, falling in love with asparagus, super hot weather, blowing bubbles, painting, boiling water, forest excursions, and swooning as Drew began curling up to read all by himself.

Dipping his toes. #latergram

A hot and sweaty lil' sleeper. Flipped over, wiped drooled, giggled sleepily, and back off to dreamland.

Play date with Jocelyn and Jared!

After a bike ride to catch fireflies, we had story-time while mama hid in the kitchen and nibbled strawberries.

The captain of the "twelve seas."

Swinging together and talking about animal crackers.

August. Most of August was about preparing to leave for a trip to South Carolina, being in South Carolina, and then crashing when we came back.

We had a lovely visit with my parents, extended family, and a few friends. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see everyone we wanted to (I really wanted to see Kerry).

September. Every single time I come home after a trip, I go through post-vacation blues. I really thought I was fine the two weeks after we came back from SC but I was wrong. I would have been happy to just hide under a blanket for the entire month but apparently that isn’t socially acceptable. Or, do-able.

Instead, we just had a gentle month of not-much-happening. There were trips to the park and library but they were fewer and far between and so we mostly just relaxed. We launched a family & friends server to play modded (Feed the Beast) Minecraft and for a solid month, ten of us played & Skyped late into the evenings.

This time of the year brings me such coziness and bliss.

Riding country roads on a crisp Autumn night.
