Here are some cute pictures!



Hello all well I have had a request for more updates on the blog so here ya go! I am doing fine and the girls are doing well. Ananiah is the most affected by her papa being in Iraq, every once in a while when she slows down enough to think about it it hits her and she starts crying saying she misses her daddy. they both started calling him that at the beginning of this year. I am not sure why but I think it is cute! I still call my dad Daddy! Anyway we went swimming today and it was Asher's first time in the pool. He seemed to enjoy it until it got to far up his back, then he fussed a bit. He seemed to enjoy it anyway. The girls are fish and beg to go swimming all the time. I hink Asher will be the same. He had his first shower with his Papa before John left he did not fuss about it at all! He seems to enjoy water! Well if I wondered if he could be any more active for his age and now at six weeks he can turn over, hold his head up for some time, scootch on his back using his heals, scootch on his belly by using his feet to push him. I am beginning to wonder what is in breast milk!! I am not on any meds. so why is my six week old son moving so much? I am certain that is not normal which worries me! I am still not over my scare from him falling off my bed! I have nightmares about it still! I now worry about him falling out of everything and off everything! Asher's Aunt Fran sent the cutest outfits here is a picture of him in one, the others are way t big for him yet! He is still in newborn diapers, and some preemie outfits fit him! well I guess I should go for now! Hope everyone is doing well!

Well John is in Kuwait now and he is doing ok! We are adjusting ok the girls have been a little fussy and whiny but are dealing with it ok. I am trying hard to keep busy and keep my mind off it. The baby is doing great he is eating well and getting bigger. Clothes actually fit him somewhat now. He was in Preemie clothes but those are too short for him now! I think he will be like Ananiah small and short! Adina is the only one we have with meat on her bones and other then her legs there is not much there. She is such a stinker. She loves to torment everyone, and argue!! I have no idea where she gets it! Hahaha! Ananiah is my serious one, every now and again she will try to be funny. She is sweet and loving but she is very much like her Papa, likes thing to be a certain way and very truthful in everything. We have caught her in a few lies but not many she will tell you who did what and when! She loves to talk on the phone and when she loves you she really loves you! however if she does not like you she will just not put up with you! generally she loves everyone though!
Adina like i said is a stinker. She is still my cuddly one and wants to be in my lap most of the time. She loves to torment her sister, usually it is meant in fun but comes across kinds mean! We are working on it! She loves to get her sister riled up, maybe because it is easy or because she just loves to get a reaction from her. They play together ok most of the time but in bad moments they fight worse then I have seen in a while! I have to separate them. Drives me batty!
We had an eventful week before John left, Asher who was only three weeks old decided he was not happy on the blanket and scotched with his feet off the side of my bed. I put him between two pillows and he went over one, across my bed and down onto the tile floor. I thought he was dead. I cried for hours. We took him to the ER, he was fine no worse for the wear! I could not even tell them what had happened I was so upset! I thought I had killed my son! He is fine though I forget how resilient little ones are. He eats very good and sleeps well. He only fusses when he has a dirty diaper or he is hungry! He is a very happy baby! Tomorrow he will be one month old! I am enjoying him so much! I love to hold him and smell his neck. He smells different then the girls did. And he is calmer then they are so hopefully he is my mellow baby! Well that is all that is going on right now! I hope everyone will pray for my husband and his unit in Iraq! Thank you very much!
