On August 20th, we celebrated our 2 year anniversary! We woke up and made ourselves chocolate chip waffles and eggs. They were DELICIOUS! Yum. We also let each other take naps, while the other person watched James. Ben also surprised me with BEAUTIFUL flowers. For our gift to each other, we bought P90X (which we started this week- intense!)! We then were able to go to a little Thai restaurant called Cozy Thai (and thanks to the Deans for watching James for us!). It was our first time eating at a Thai place, and we really enjoyed it! For dessert we went and got ice cream from Cold Stone, and ate while watching season two of Downton Abbey (thanks Nia!) after James went to bed. It was a really good day!

| so pretty! |
As for other news, we moved! We are in the same apartment complex, but a few buildings over and in a 2 bedroom townhouse! We love it here. And the stairs make it feel like we have a real home... almost. James has been sleeping about 10 hours every night. Who knew that having his own room would make such a difference??? James also got to use his bouncer! He loves it! And he has the most wonderful blowouts while in it (hopefully you noticed the sarcasm). James is also becoming better at sitting up by himself! It is so cute. And as of today, he has TWO teeth! He just cut his second one.
Ben also started his 2nd year of Law School! This is going to be a verrrry busy year. Not only does he have school and studying, but he is now an associate editor of the Journal of Law and International Affairs, AND has a research job. I think he has a better management of his time this year, so it shouldn't be
too bad.
I have been keeping busy with taking care of James, putting our new home together, and doing a few crafty projects here and there. I made James a cute little onesie with a tie and vest appliqued on it. I made the tie out of an old black skirt, and there was enough left over that I made him a little pair of black pants! They turned out pretty good if I say so myself. I also finally finished a toy truck. we got James the book "The Little Blue Truck" (very cute story btw), and I had started making the stuffed truck to go along with it a few months ago. It turned out pretty cute I think! I got the idea from one of the craft blogs I follow (make it love it). And now for pictures!
