So, waaaayyyyy back in June, we all headed to North Carolina to see my mom's side of the family. It was so fun to see family that we hadn't seen in over a year.
Here is my Nana and almost all of her grandchildren (and great-grandchildren!)

North Carolina: Getting Wet
Asher scowling at the kiddie-pool. He hated everything wet, but doesn't he look adorable in his little rash-guard?
"Char-Char please save me from those waves!"
Evan and Elena, however LOVED everything about the beach.

That'll Leave a Mark
Last night, Elena took a tumble. She managed to trip over the curtains, which then propelled her into a chair, with the result being a pretty deep cut on the forehead.
Too bad her hair is bout 1.8 cm long on that spot of her head, otherwise we might be able to disguise it a little better.
She really handled it VERY well! I'm so proud of her.
Checking Things Off
Between the past two weekends I tackled some projects that have been bugging me.
The first project was to organize the school supply closet. For not actually having any school aged children, we have A LOT of stuff! I am a sucker for educational supplies and have been buying them since Elena was born. On top of that, we were just blessed by a family giving us their used kindergarten supplies, so it was time to get a system in place.
Hmm, I feel like diaper boxes lack some of the aesthetic qualities of other storage systems available. :)
And the other project was removing the border in our master bathroom and then painting it. We got our bedroom looking the way I wanted it shortly after moving in, but didn't even touch the bathroom. I think we were waiting to tackle it until we were prepared to pay for the wall to be textured (needed once the border was removed).
But we decided it was better to have freshly painted walls, with no border, and mismatched texture, than the current state.
Good-bye floral wrapping paper! I don't have a picture, but I'm very happy with the result!

Asher - 9 Months
Asher let me squeeze in on his 9 month photo shoot. I've been meaning to get pictures of us together for about... well... nine months I guess.
Our sweet, sweet boy is 9 months old!
Asher is a fast crawler and he loves to climb the stairs any chance he gets. He's already fallen down a few steps on my watch... Baaad Mom Award! :)
He prefers upstairs to down. He figured out that's the "fun zone" with 90% of our toys being up there.
He just started chowing down on graham crackers... it's a bummer they're so messy.
He's pretty sensitive when dropped off at the church nursery, but they are great at getting him to sleep. Apparently, he loves them to sing to him.
He's gotten really good at swatting away things he doesn't want; pureed carrots, a tissue for his nose... he's got a strong swing!
He darts for any "crackly" plastic... loves the stuff.
He has five teeth.. two up, and three down.
He is a very curious little guy... once he spots something he wants to investigate, it is nearly impossible to stop him. That curiosity reminds me of another child of mine, and her curiosity has proven to be TROUBLE. So I'm crossing my fingers that in a couple of years he won't be emptying the shampoo bottle into the toilet, painting his hand and pressing it against the walls, or combing toothpaste through his hair... but maybe that's just life with kids.
However he turns out, we'll take him. We love us some Ash-man!
