Milestones by Asher

Soooo yesterday for the first time Asher yells out "AIDAN"!!! And he hasn't stopped! Its his new phrase. Everytime we yell for, at, about Aidan, he has to join in! It's so cute! Just the other day we were talking about how we were wondering what Asher will call Aidan....guess we know now! Upon Aidan love (OBSESSION) for Dora, Asher has also picked up "Hola" (pronounced O-DUH).
So now that I'm not working we are going to start getting in the regular rountine of going back to church. We went today and the boys were actually pretty good for the time that they were in the sanctuary, otherwise they were in children's church. So no horrid embrassing stories about church...at least not today...check back each Sunday!
We've been trying to shop for Ashie's birthday and it's a lot harder than I remember with Aidan! There's just sooo much CRAP out there! Growing, building, learning, playing, stuff that's great right now, stuff that he could use later....AHHH!! It's quite frustrating. I could just go with clothes that he needs but he needs some new toys just for him! I guess it's that fear I must pick the most perfect present to make him feel smart and loved....when all in all he will play with the box then go back to attacking Grandma and La-La's cats. Oh well!
Everything is starting to fall apart in our place. The kid's blinds are torn up, the baby gate at the top of the steps has fallen off the hindges, the coffee table broke one of its legs...hmm we must have toddler's!!! It's hard to run out and replace this stuff when your on a tighter budget now that i'm not working. Not to mention that ALL 4 of us had the stomach flu a few days ago. $8 for mommy and daddy's tummy medicine $6.50 A BOTTLE (got 4) for Pedialyte (at Harris Teeter cause this is the closest store Mat could make it too) $4 for a new pillow for Aidan, $20 in new crib sheets for Ashie because they were too gross to even wash and I was too sick to think about it, the however amount of money Mat lost by leaving work early....so all in all it's expensive to be sick!!
But we are all better now and spending a nice "family sunday" together. Mommy, Aidan and Ashie napping, daddy on the computer then we switch mommy on the computer daddy gone to clean and wash our cars! Have a great week!
