Too Busy!

In the past week we have flown to Florida and played 10 games, done to Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom, learned to walk while holding on to things, gotten TWO new teeth and learned to throw a temper tantrum. Our lives, to say the least, are very busy. Asher is growing leaps and bounds and learning so fast. He tries to pull everything off of tables and shelves and I think he is developing a fear of the dark. Just like any little one, he puts everything in his mouth and is trying to discover the world around him. Kenny and I are working very hard to get everything out of reach. This task is much harder than you would think. Our small little living space does not have much room for storing things out of reach for a small giant.
I am right in the thick of softball season which means many 12 hour days a week. As fast as Asher is growing and learning I'm afraid I will be missing out on a lot of firsts. Thankfully we have iPhones and a brand new video camera to capture all of these firsts. I'm so excited for Asher's development but the Mommy in me wants him to stay just the way he is.

Florida, Here We Come!

We leave for Florida in just two days! I'm so excited to be in the warm sunshine for 7 days, see my mom and brother and take Asher to Disneyworld! I know he won't remember anything, but it is still exciting. Traveling with babies is so much more work than I ever would have imagined. Trying to decide what to have him wear, what toys he will want to play with, making sure I have all the food/diapers/milk he will need. Luckily, we don't have to check all of Asher's stuff on the plane. I am so thankful for the trailer that is going to Florida with all of the softball equipment.

Our Life Lately

It's been a while since I posted anything and so much has happened. Asher is crawling and standing and taking steps while holding our hands. I can't believe how fast everything is moving now. It won't be long till he's too busy running to let me hold and cuddle him.
Our house is in the full swing of craziness. Softball season makes life move so much faster. I have decided that once softball really gets in your blood there's no turning back. I've been doing this for 20 years and I can't imagine my life without it. I am so thankful for the athletic ability that God has given me and the opportunity I have to turn it into a career. Coaching is definately not playing, but the chance I get to pass my knowledge of the game on to a new generation of softballers is a privelage I don't take lightly.
Kenny has just two more semesters of school left and I can't wait! This has been such a long, emotional, frustrating process. I will be glad to see it go away! He will be started his job hunt soon and I can't wait to see what God has in store for our family. I can't wait to be able to be on our own and not be "faking" anymore. I am so appreciative of his grandparents for helping us out so much, but it can be very difficult. Living in a basement with no kitchen and no laundry room is so hard with a baby. I am glad that Kenny is starting to see that men can live in a single room as long as they have all of their things, but women need places and space and organization. I can't wait to have my own little place to decorate and clean and take care of.
We go on the road to Florida on Sunday and I can't wait to be in the sunshine. This Texas girl is not cut out for this cold weather. March should be warm!
