cuddle bug

Nate and I just think this is the cutest thing in the world! He started doing it about a month ago. We call it the "cuddle dive".

Asher has been getting into EVERYTHING lately- some of it makes me panick but most the time it makes me laugh! He's such a silly little cutie and is developing quite the personality!

Peek-a-Boo!

I see you!

Asher loves it when all three of us are home together...he especially enjoys "tickle attacks" from Mom & Dad.

Can you spare a sqaure??...

changes

This past week has brought lots of changes...

No matter your political views, things will be different with Obama around- good (economy, environment, foreign relations) AND bad (moral decline, socialized medicine), I think. Nate and I were more excited about Prop 102 (the AZ equiv. of Prop 8 in CA) passing- which it did! Yea! We stood at the local polls for about three hours holding signs supporting the marriage prop and offering more info to people who wanted it. It was neat to feel involved in a good cause. We watched CNN intently Tuesday night as Obama became our President-elect. I couldn't shake the strong feeling that things were going to be happening...that Nate and I needed to make sure that we prepare our little family for what may lie ahead. SO! Our food storage doubled! :) Asher helped me organize it. As I was moving bags of rice around the cupboards, several little moth looking bugs kept flying out. "That's wierd..." I thought. Then I happened to look down at a bag of rice we had bought a month ago at Wal-Mart and saw that the rice was moving. Holy crap. I wanted to vomit. There were larva in there! I started panicking...I called Nate, my mom, my mother-in-law..."What the heck are these things?!" Meal moths. Most likely they were already IN the rice when I bought it and now they had infested...who knows...they feed off cereals, pasta, grain, rice, etc. Soooo gross.

Sadly, I tossed over $100 in food, keeping only canned goods. I wanted to cry. I vacuumed and disinfected the ENTIRE kitchen until my knuckles were cracked and bleeding.

OK! On a lighter note, the weather has changed once again! Temps are in the 60's and 70's during the day, which meant that Asher and I have been spending lots of time at the wonderful park across the street. The poor kid acted like he had never seen grass before. haha!!
