Update on the Stewart Family life

Hello all, Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. Life has been busy for us here in little Rexburg. Since the last post we had a wonderful visit from Trever's Dad and his wife, it was so fun to spend time with them. Also we moved to a new apartment, it is tiny, but nice. Also it is A LOT cheaper than the last place so that will be nice. Our goal is to graduate from college debt free, which means paying off our current debt as well as not getting any student loans or anything, so cheaper rent will make that easier to accomplish. I am always shocked when people graduate with 10 or 20 thousand dollars of debt. Although, Trever's books for this semester cost $680, so maybe it is understandable after all. The kiddos are doing fabulous. We are lucky to have such good kids that adjust well to change. Ayana is so fun and adorable, she is always coming up with new things to do and ways to entertain her parents. She is still pretty slow in talking, but I can hardly wait to hear what pearls of wisdom she will share when she starts using real words we can understand. She is a shoe fanatic, she loves putting on her shoes and wearing them around and anytime we go to a store with shoes she gets so excited and you literally have to drag her away from the shoe section! We just found out that she is like her dad and is missing her later incisor teeth, I have been wondering why she has so many fewer teeth than her peers, but that explains it. It is not something to worry about now, but guarantees us a future of expensive dental work, and it is likely the other kids will be missing the same teeth as well. Oh well, that's life. Asher is growing like crazy as babies do, we got him one of those bumbo chairs that helps young babies like him sit up and he seems to enjoy that. He is also pretty good now at rolling over. He is a very smiley baby, and very cuddly, he wants to be held all the time (which makes it hard to cook and clean, but that's okay) He always seems to save his biggest smiles for Ayana and she always has a kiss for Asher and loves to share her toys with him. He especially loves when we sing to him. Trever is back in school again and so far things are going well. It is going to be a tough semester with lots of hard classes, but he is smart and I am sure he will do well. He just had an eye surgery this week to help with his glaucoma, hopefully it will keep the pressures down for a year or two anyway, we'll see. For me it is pretty much same old, same old, just working and hanging out with the family and trying to squeeze in the sleep where I can. I had another one of those moments where you wonder when you became who you are today. We just bought a washer and dryer that will be delivered today and I am so excited to get them and to own my own washer and dryer. I remember when I told Trever that I would never ever be excited about an appliance or anything that represented housework. Funny how we change and grow. I had a wonderful birthday, I asked for only money so I could get some new clothes and Trever found a babysitter for the kids and just the two of us spent a day shopping and went out to dinner, it was a lot of fun and I got some new cute clothes too. In other exciting news, since my last post I have 2 new nephews! Congrats to Shannon and Yvonne. That's life in the Stewart house!
