New pics from last weekend...

We did a little cooking today while Meme was at the house sitting with Asher. We made muffins for Daddy and Umpy. Oh and we licked the bowl too! Sadie loves to be in the kitchen with me!!

Another weekend at Meme and Umpy's in the garage with the guys! Oh boy! Asher is growing so big...He gained 2 pounds in 3 weeks. He is now 10 pounds 6 ounces. And he grew an inch and 3/4! He is still quite happy and sleeping in 3-4 hour intervals. Sadie is in love with her little brother and every day gets easier and easier with the 2 kids!

Last Weekend pics

These are pictures from last weekend at Meme and Upmy's house in the garage. There was a race on and a football game so the guys got together to watch and the ladies and kids were there too! Sadie and Asher had a blast!

Happy birthday Asher!

Asher is now 4 weeks old! Everyone says they grow so fast and they arent kidding! Asher is still a very happy baby and sleeps really well during the day and at night! The other night he slept for 8 hours! Oh yes! Mommy was so happy!! We're going a little stir crazy in the house with the weather getting colder. We've had some visitors here and there which is a nice break to the long days we've been having. Sadie is craving for a routine and I think Im craving for one as well! If all goes well I go back to work in a few weeks. We will all get our routine back soon enough!

Sadie Haircut pictures

We went on our first outing today with Sadie and Asher. Sadie needed a bang trim desparately! We went to Meme's hair stylist and Sadie was sooo good! She sat in the big chair and Jimmy gave her lots of special treats...ice creame, gummy bears, and a blue backpack for all her stuff! I had to get pictures!

More baby Asher pics!

Welcome Baby Asher!

On October 14, 2008 at 2:29 pm our family welcomed baby Alfred Asher Clifford VII. He weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces and was 19 inches long. He is a happy little boy who sleeps ALL the time! We are using his middle name as a nickname so we are all calling him baby Asher. Big sister Sadie is thrilled with her new baby! She has been a wonderful big sister and very helpful! We are slowly getting a new routine started and Im even getting sleep at night!

Apples or peaches anyone??

I couldnt wait to get back to work. Now I cant wait to leave. I have great kids but a bad environment. Im going insane! Im 34 weeks pregnant...ready to pop any day. Ive been having irregular contractions off and on since last Friday. I actually went to the birthing center on Monday and was monitored for pre-term labor signs. They said I looked good and they were just irregular uterine contractions that can hurt like hell but dont actually open or soften the cervix. I tried to take it easy at work on Tuesday but the kids are testing us and taking it easy was not an option. So thankfully meme and aana have been willing to take Sadie until Skip can come go get her when he gets out of work. Afternoon naps are a must these days. I think I only have 27 days left of work but at this point Im not sure Im going to make it! Tomorrow is Friday and its another day. I just have to keep telling myself that.

On another note, Sadie seems to be happy with the daily routine again. She has been great getting up in the morning and getting ready to go to either Meme's or Aana's. She has been working really hard on using the potty and staying in big girl undies during the day. I cant wait to be home with her and not be pregnant or incapable of bending over so I can help her. Ive been trying to put her only in pull-ups at night but its really hard to do that when I am relying on other people to potty train her. She often requests the pull-ups which are just like diapers only with a different name. For the most part she's doing well with it and soon enough she will have it mastered! Yay Sadie!

The pictures are of Sadie and Daddy in the back yard pciking apples from the trees! We seem to have an abundance of apples and Skip and I tried one and it was surprisingly really good! We also have a peach tree in the front yard. I thought it was the neighbors but I guess its ours because they never picked the peaches. We now have buckets of peaches in our kitchen! Im thinking of making a peach cobbler this weekend...Ive been craving sweets lately!
