It's been a while

Well...things have been going good around here....since the Super Bowl. Actually, I think the entire city of Chicago is still licking their wounds after that one! Let's see, other than that wonderful night, things have been peaceful around here. Last weekend we went to Wisconsin for Nathan's 1st birthday party. As you can see by the photo, they still are not interested in each other. Guess we won't have those wonderful photos like Kevin and I do! Anyway, Ascher has been growing so quickly! He has learned and accomplished so much! He loves to clap, roll over, chew on other fingers, eat a variety of foods, and sit like a big boy. Immer and I are now anxiously awaiting the crawling stage, although we have yet to childproof the house (I know, I know, but it's been snowing and cold out, and Ireally don't want to travel in it. Plus, I'm sure Immer has an input, so I will wait for him). He is definately growing, but I think it's up, not around. His 6 month pants still don't fit around the waist, and the 9 months make him look like an old man! It really is funny! This week Ascher and I will be flying back the NMB to visit my parents, and to say goodbye to Steven. He is going overseas in March, and who knows when he will be returning. Hopefully we will get to spend time with him, and his new fiancee Disha! (unlike last time when she would just wave from the car, and Steven was always gone) Otherwise, things are quite and calm here. We are just waiting for the snow to melt and the summer fun to start. I can't wait to see how the babies will interact now! Ok, enough for now. I will try to post in NMB, but if it's warm, I doubt it!
