Asher who?

Well, Asher has been quite busy playing at home and having fun at preschool. He is a great big brother and a big helper too. Following are some pictures of Asher the last month or so playing and exploring his many pretend roles.

After craft time and painting, Asher decides to be a writer and paint his name:

Ezra at 9 months



Well, Ezra is growing up fast. He loves to pull himself up to standing and has been practicing walking by cruising between furniture. Ezra keeps busy playing, but he now prefers to explore the toys the big kids play with. Here are some pictures from January...











Out Visiting

Mom, Holly, Katelyn, Asher, & I went out visiting after Christmas.

It was nice to see Erica again. The kids chatted a bit and then entertained themselves with the organ, singing, and dancing while we continued chatting. They also enjoyed looking around the farm, despite the cold weather.



Then we ventured on to see their Great Grandma Gleason. It was a real treat for them to have her play the piano for them. She sang "I remember the day you were born" to Katelyn and Asher and then "Guess I'll Go Eat Worms."

Christmas with the Whites

Glad to be able to get together with Chris, Kerri, Zach, & Ben. Here are a few pictures of everyone from our Christmas celebration.










Thanks to Chris & Kerri for getting presents for the kids. I know they were a big hit!
