Two for the Price of One

March
 Okay, I have to be completely honest.  These pictures aren't just from the 12th.  Things were too crazy to take all of them on the one day, so it's split between the 12th and the 13th.  Besides, that was the only way we could get Billy in there too.  I worked all day on the 12th.  There are pictures of my usual morning tea and Noah eating his breakfast on his chair.  Asher had a normal day playing on his mat and getting his bath.  The normalcy of the day ended when we got home and it was time to get serious and pack!  The island and its surrounding area was the headquarters for all organization.  On the 13th we headed out of town bright dark and early.  Noah, Asher, and I embarked on a traveling journey from Charleston to San Antonio.  Everything went well and we were all thrilled to see Billy!  Of course our first stop In Texas was for Mexican food!

April
Another month down.  Today was a typical day.  It started out with getting up and getting Noah ready for school.  Between getting dressed, eating breakfast, and getting out the door, there is invariably a tantrum.  Some are short and some are long and drawn out, but there's at least one.  While we're getting ready to go, Asher usually wakes up and Gammy has his bottle waiting for him.  He'll lift his head up while we're making a commotion and then he'll watch us as we walk out the door.  This morning we took a little extra time so I could get a picture with my boys.  After school Noah was glued to the television, watching Finding Nemo.  Asher found some of Noah's trucks and enjoyed spinning the wheels.  We had a yummy dinner and Asher really enjoyed eating his oatmeal.  By eating I mean swallowing about 75% of it and blowing rasberries with the rest.  There have been some problems with Noah washing his hair, so we're trying to get him to lay down in the water, and he seemed to like it, at least for today.  He has so much hair, it's almost time for another haircut.  After all the usual day's events, the boys headed to bed and I couldn't resist sneaking in to take some pictures of the little angels, because what baby doesn't look like an angel when he's sleeping?

Our trip

Wow, where has the time gone?  I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post, but it has been one busy month.  Obviously we survived our trip to San Antonio.  Like I imagined, getting through security at the airport was a nightmare.  I got more dirty looks than I got help and I ended up spilling milk all over their equipment... oops.  Noah and Asher both did great on the flights and we had no major accidents or mishaps.  The flight attendants on the first flight were awesome and helped us make it to our connecting flight.  Unfortunately, they ended up losing a very important bag of luggage that we didn't get until the 3rd day we were.  It had my breast pump, most of Asher's clothes, and the power cord to the computer, among other things, so that was pretty awful.  But we got to see Billy and lots of good friends.  It was definitely a good trip!


Here we are on the first plane

The boys together again
 

There wasn't much to do in our little room

Noah loved "his" yellow plane

Without our toys, we had to make our own enterainment!

We went to Sea World and saw Shamu

We saw a Sesame Street show and Asher LOVED it
