August finally transitioned from a crib to a big toddler bed! At first, we were waiting for him to be out of pull-ups at nighttime, which happened soon after he turned three, and then when he started climbing out of his crib all the time a few months ago, we knew it was definitely time. He was so excited! Love my big boy!

August has been spelling his name the past few weeks! Such a big boy:)

We got our very first egg on August 20th from our Sapphire Gem hen, Bellatrix Black, whom we call “Blackie” for short. She has laid 9 eggs in a row since that first day (we’re pretty sure she’s the only one laying so far). We can’t wait until our other hens start laying so we don’t have to buy eggs anymore!

We had our first snowfall of the season today! It was supposed to be an inch at the most, but we ended up with at least 3 inches. (Luckily I bought snow pants on a whim a few months ago:) August was so excited when the rain switched over to snow this morning, and he kept running around to different windows (upstairs and downstairs) to get a good view. Scarlett was quite surprised to see Dada to picking her up from school early—and since August had been begging me all morning, as soon as Scarlett got home we went out to play!!

Suited up and ready to go.As you can see, August has not yet figured out snow angels, but he still had fun collapsing in the snow and putting his arms in the air in his attempt to do so. 
We went out a second time after nap and Buddy joined us—he was in heaven. Such a fun first snow day!

Then and Now.
