Last week we moved a television back into our home just for the superbowl and it has not been removed yet. (We're still TV free and LOVING it). It is sitting on the Otto's side of the apartment.
I just put Sim to bed. I said he should go kiss Aimee and baby Clay good night. (Stephen is at the church tonight).
He kissed Aimee, Clay, and then the TV.
He waved to Aimee, Clay, and then the TV.
oh my.

Maybe it's true what they say--absence makes the heart grow fonder!
I just have to say that we've been TV free for over 8 months now and LOVE it. (the superbowl was hard for Todd to miss though) I feel happier, saner, and we save tons of money b/c we don't know all the cool new things out there that need us to need them! :)
Did you guys ditch it for Ava?

No, we bought a house last June and b/c it was summer and we were outside so much we didn't hook the cable up. Then come fall, Todd lost his job :( and we didn't want the extra expense. So it was totally inadvertent. And now, we just love not having it.
We watch LOST on Hulu and Ava still watches movies. Todd sometimes talks about having it hooked up again (ie. this fall for football) but I hope not.
It does take awhile to get used too, TV watching is such a lifestyle so you have to change your habits. I'd say it took a good 3 months to not miss it anymore and have other habits in place. We're trying to get our families on board but no one is interested.
Stick with it, it does get easier.
Ironically, It's not hard at all. We use the computer quite a bit too. It seems to fill in any gaps for an occasional down time.
