All by myself (not the Celine Dion song)

Nate has been gone again this week. When he was gone for the first 2 weeks I was so motivated to get things done. I painted a few rooms, organized like crazy and actually stayed on top of the laundry. This time nothing has gotten done. It may have something to do with Piper wanting to
be held all day long, or Asher now answering why isn't of no. I thought no was the worst thing he could say, but I was so very wrong. Now I need to explain to him why he needs to pick up his toys and why he shouldn't throw his train at Piper, and why we shouldn't lick the dog or the door. I did manage to get the kids pictures taken this week.

  6. Ally - This is Aunt(ie) Bridget. Your story of Asher doing the "why" thing brings back memories. When Holly and Steve went to a conference in Philadelphia one year, Uncle Richard and I took the kids (only Nate and Micah at that point) to Ocean City NJ for a long weeekend. Nate must have been about 4 and Micah about 2. The entire trip Nate constantly asked why about everything! He was especially mezmorized by the old Flanders Hotel - the same hotel where Mike and Nicole Bruntz where married. Anyway, it was cute at first, but I have to admit it did get a little exhausting after three days. It was at that point I could see where he'd pick a career like engineering. So even now maybe our little Asher is giving us a clue he will be an engineer of some sort too, although based on your comments...maybe a balloon engineer! Much love.
