Super Ash and Pax
Meet Super Asher…
He whizzes throughout the house beeshing bad guys all day long, proclaiming, “I’m Super Asher!” and “To Infinity and Beyond!” pppsssssshhhhh pppsssssshhhh (flying noises). You could say he’s just a little bit in love with his new cape.
This cape…this cape that was so lovingly handmade for him…that I would so desperately like to thank someone for…and have them teach me how to sew…BUT I CAN’T!!! Sigh…this cape is a perfect example of the types of gifts and things that are STILL being left for us every day. The amount of love and support we’re receiving is overwhelming, and it’s driving me absolutely crazy that I can’t thank all of you personally! It makes me start sweating to think about all the money and time that so many of you are putting into these gifts! There is so much hurt and pain going on, and the fact that you all have chosen to bless our family is incredibly humbling. You’ve blessed us financially (Jeremy is bringing home dinner for us from Pei Wei :)), you’ve blessed us with laughter (someone made us a puppet show, and Asher has become quite attached, maybe too much so, to Mr. Chicken), you’ve blessed us with scripture (I’m making a book with every scripture card to bring to the hospital with us), and you’ve blessed us with feeling so loved. I don’t know what to do or how to let you (whoever you are!!!) know how much we appreciate everything. So here’s hoping this note finds you somehow. We thank God for you.
Meet Super Paxon…
We had another appointment for Pax this morning. This mainly included some unimportant paperwork and some more meetings, but the highlight was again getting to see our boy. He wasn’t cooperating for awhile (shocker, he has our stubborn genes) but we did finally get a few images that brought tears to my eyes. First of all, he has chubby cheeks…I can’t wait to kiss and pinch those things. We did see his cleft palette again, and I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to that whole idea. I think I’m still in denial about that. But the absolute best part of the whole ultrasound was seeing his right hand. We’ve always seen his middle three fingers locked down, and his pinkie and his thumb sticking out like in a hang loose Hawaii pose. They told us they weren’t sure if this meant that his fingers were webbed, or if he is missing bones in the tops of his fingers. Well, this morning he opened his little hand and waved at us!!! It was so wonderful. The ultrasound tech said there are definitely bones in his hand, which mean that it’s probably webbed. Big whoop. We can handle that. That’s an easy fix. We were so thankful for some good news.
Dear Paxon,
Your daddy and I love you. We prayed for you so much even before we knew your name or saw your little face. You are truly a gift and a blessing from the Lord, and we’re so thankful He chose us to be your Mommy and Daddy. You’ve already changed our lives, and we haven’t even held you in our arms. We’re not sure how much time we’re going to have with you, but however long that may be we’ll be right by your side loving you. Thanks for waking up and waving to us today, you’re timing was perfect, and we’ll never forget it. Until we see you again…

Asher continues to be ridiculously adorable. I love his cape, but it’s not his cape that makes him super; it’s who he is! 😀
