Jan 12th

Okay, so I'm doing this a little backward, but hey, better late than never, right?  I'm looking at these pictures now, and my babies already look so different!  It's amazing how much little ones can change in just a few short months.  Anyway, please excuse the confusion, but I'll be writing my little narrative as if it were still January and I just took these pictures.  It might be confusing for you, but it makes things a lot easier for me in the long run, trust me. 

Since I'm still not working, Asher and I get to hang out quite a bit.  He goes to Ms. Tina's house twice a week so he can have some social interaction and I get some sanity time.  Today was one of our days together.  Asher is on antibiotics again so he started off the day with some medicine.  It seems like that poor kid is always taking medicine.  It was a cold day, at least cold for San Antonio.  It was still in the 30's after noon. We bundled up and headed out to Target first thing in the morning.  What better place to hang out than Target on a cold day?  After Target, we headed home, and I spent some time clipping coupons.  I've become pretty resourceful at using coupons and finding good deals.  It's the least I can do since we still only have one income.  After nap time and a little more play time, Asher and I picked Noah up from school.  He was not a happy camper today and was not the least bit interested in having his picture taken. 

February 12th

I love Saturdays!  We took our time getting up in the morning.  Noah loves to stay in his pajamas on the weekends.  I guess he's finally figured out the value of not having to be anywhere and enjoying some leisure time.  We usually play for a bit and then they'll watch a show or two on television or the DVR.  Noah is as handsome as ever, but still doesn't like to take pictures.  I can barely ever catch him with a smile on his face, so I went ahead and got a cute shot with his "serious" look.  Asher, on the other hand, still hams it up all the time.  Unless the boys are screaming at each other, Asher usually has a big ol' grin on his face.  Fortunately, at this point, the boys are starting to play with each other a bit.  It's not long until some sort of bickering starts, but they can get a few good minutes in.  I'm praying that this is a good sign of things to come.  We were supposed to go the rodeo today, but after driving out there and seeing the line of cars, we decided to turn around and get some other things done.  McDonald's is Noah's favorite so we picked some up and they ate in their carseats.  Then Asher got his first haircut!  It was long overdue, but we finally did it, and he looks adorable!!!  We asked the lady to do some spikes in the front, and it was so cute. He did great too, no fussing, and just sat there driving the Lightning McQueen car.  After that we decided to get some groceries.  The boys always have to drive the car shopping cart at the Commissary.  And we can't forget how much the boys love playing with light sabers right now.  Nearly every day, we all have to get them out and have a good round of light saber wars!
