The cutest customers who will be knocking this year - Hannah the butterfly and Ansley the flower! Coming to your door - SOON!

My New Hobby

I have recently taken up a new hobby. My girlfriend, Janelle, started talking about her savings at the grocery store and recently gave a talk on how she does it at our Moms Club Meeting. I was very intrigued by all this as she has a family of 4, with one monster eater who is 1.5, for less than $75/week, INCLUDING diapers! I was fascinated by this and decided to get on the band wagon. Thus, my new hobby is couponing and I have FINALLY mastered it! As seen with today's pic, I didn't buy a lot of food since I am only feeding 3/4 of my family, but did stock up on some really great buys and I don't have to buy anything else for probably at least 2 weeks (other than milk next week). I spent $60.81 and saved $113.94! Just for a small run down, here is what I purchased:

2 diapers
5 wipes
4 chicken
1 london broil
20 baby food jars
plums
2 bandaid
2 neosporin
4 popcorn
6 ziploc gallon bags
4 deodrant
4 Diet Coke
1 bathroom tissue for $.01

Getting BIG!

Just wanted to update my blog with some recent pics of my cutie patutie kids! They are getting SO BIG! Hannah will be 3 in just a short month and a half. She is very excited about this and can't wait. Our newest accomplishment here has been that we are potty trained! It only took about a week and have them "both" mastered. She is very proud of herself and we have called both sets of grandparents to let them know. We even have some pics of her next to her potty - we will hold those back though.

As for Ansley, she is 3 months old and smiling and cooing at everyone! She is a small delight all wrapped up! Now, if she would just get on the napping bandwagon, that would be great. On the other hand, she does sleep 12+ hours through the night, so which would I rather have - definitely sleeping through the night!

Till next time - ta ta for now!!

Hannah's First Big Girl Bike

Well, I am sure you are all wondering why two posts in one week - well, I have to show you! Hannah is so excited about her bike! She rides it very well, and truly, she outgrew her tricycle, so an early birthday present it was. She loves it!

Well, as you can see Hannah and Ansley are growing like weeds! Hannah is very much in to her Barbies and her favorite thing to do is have them exercise! I am sure you have looked at the pics and are wondering why the barbies are naked?? Well, Hannah will tell you it is because they will get their clothes dirty and then she will have to wash them and she doesn't want to, so they exercise naked. She plays like this for at least an hour a day - usually when you are wondering where she is because it is so quiet.

Ansley is growing up so fast right before our eyes! At her 2 month check up, she was 11 lb 3 oz and 22 inches long. She loves her big sister and giggles and coos at her constantly. Recently, Ansley had a friend over, Leilah, who is 5 days older than her. Ansley is a great baby and slowly but surely getting on a schedule.

Ansley Rachel Levy

Melany - you know who you are and this one is devoted to you!

Here is our newest addition - Ansley Rachel Levy born February 23, 2009. She weighed 6lb 14oz and 19.5 inches long. She was 3 weeks early and considered a preemie, but to me, she was as big as she needed to be. She is a great eater, sleeper and pooper - in that order! We can't wait to introduce her to everyone.

Lenny's Graduation

As most of you know by now, Lenny was elected to be the speaker at his graduation. It was beautiful. He was very funny, cynical and serious all at the same time. Here is a pic that was captured there - I thought it was great. Hannah slept through the entire ceremony, which was wonderful so I could capture the moment. Also, for anyone who didn't hear his speech, copy and paste this link into a new browser:
