My little man!

Well, after many weeks of saying, "I need to post about Asher's birthday.", I am finally doing it! Our lives have been a bit crazy since then (more on that to come), and well, it is true what they say...he is my 3rd child....sorry Ash! We love you tons, but life with three boys gets a little hairy at times!

Anyways, enough excuses. We celebrated Asher's birthday the weekend of his birthday (which is Sept. 6th), just two weeks after having Joel's birthday! We mainly invited family and a few close friends who are like family to us! Cherith was kind again, once again, to allow us to host the party at her home since we were still living with her at the time! My parents came (aka Nana and Pop) and Rob's brother and his family, who now, to our joy, live in Ft. Worth, only about an hour away! It was low key but a lot of fun! We let Asher open presents after his nap (can't miss those!) and then we enjoyed a brisket bbq lunch together! For dessert, of course, were cupcakes, which Asher devoured completely! That's our boy! ;)

Over this first year of his life, Asher has grown from a tender, loving baby, to a rough-and-tumble, happy-go-lucky, into-everything little BOY! He is such a joy! His smile continues to melt our hearts and his laughter can brighten any day! We are so blessed that the Lord gave him to us and that we get to watch as God's plan for his life unfolds day by day before our very eyes! Thank you Asher, for being Mommy's "little man", loving me unconditionally, as only a son can, and for brightening nearly every day I spend with you with your joy and sweet spirit! And thank you Lord, for knowing what we needed, even when what we thought that was a little girl. You truly are a kind and loving Father who gives GOOD gifts to his children!
