I Can See!!!

Doesn't he look smart?

When we took Nick for his 8 year old check up, he didn't do so well on his vision test. I then took him to a special children's eye doctor to have his vision rechecked.

I guess he has his mother's bad vision.

Nick really enjoys wearing his glasses, for now, he even helped to pick out the frames.

Ashe Goes to School

Today was Ashe's first day of Day Care. Here he is in his school clothes all ready to start his first day with his new friends. When I got there to pick him up he was so content and happy. I really wish I could stay home and be with him all day. I am very glad however that God brought Ashe's teacher Ms. Danielle into our lives. He seems very happy to be there each day with her.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Steven's mom and dad, aka Grandma and Grandpa Herod. We had a great time and of course the food was awesome. Ashe sleep through the meal and Nick picked through his, eating only a select few items.

• Nick was thankful I didn't make him eat veggies today.
• Steven is thankful for the leftovers, which means turkey sandwiches his favorite part of today, next to football.
• I am thankful for my family. Just to think a few months ago Ashe wasn't in our lives and just a year ago I never thought he would be. I am thankful to spend this holiday with my family. I just wish that I could have spent it with them all.

Spending Time Together

Nick loves being a big brother. He is so sweet to Ashe.
Ashe loves having a great big brother. When Nick comes in and talks to Ashe he turns his face towards Nicks' voice and smiles. I am so glad they have one another.

Tummy Time

1 Cute Baby + 1 Cool Activity Mat = 2 much fun

Math can be fun.

Ashe loves Tummy Time.

Puppy Tails

What are little boys made of?
Snips and Snails and puppy dog tails that's what little boys are made of.

Question... What the world is a snip???

I guess Ashe will sleep on that one.

Thank you Gainer family for the cute puppy outfit. I didn't think he would be wearing it so soon (size 6 months and Ashe is not yet 2 months).

Happy Birthday Nick!!!

Nick is now 8 years old. This weekend we spent the day at the park with a picnic. For Nick's birthday we got him some fun Nerf items. Well after the boys shot these things in the house we decided we needed somewhere with more room so we headed to Trotwood park. Nick had a great time even though we didn't go to a bunch of places. We just spent time together as a family. As you can see from looking at Ashe it was a little chilly.

1 month

Ashe is now one month old. I can't believe a month has already past. He has gotten so big and is getting so strong. He is staying up longer during the day and night. We have learned that Ashe loves to watch football. He is all boy. He is a little couch potato. He is also very amused by lamps. He enjoys looking into the bright lights. I know this can't be good for his eyes.
