Oct 2009
Today was the day the big boy got bigger. Two years old. Wow, it’s hard to believe. Jeremy and I were really struck today by how big he’s getting, and how much he’s turning into a little boy. We were also remembering this day two years ago, because we were trying to decide whether or not we should go to Village Inn for breakfast, or head to the hospital, ha! If that line at Village Inn wouldn’t have been too long, and had we not gotten a little push from our friend Krista on the phone, we might have been dealing with a very interesting delivery!
We tried to make today special for Asher. I’m assuming he won’t have specific childhood memories of his birthday today, but he should know, for the record, he was happy and had a great day :). He started the morning off by playing with his buddy, Carter. These two little boys have grown up together, and Krista and I have the pictures to prove it! We had to get some updated pictures of them, these boys grow up so much even between our play dates. On a side note, Asher had some blood work and chest xrays done yesterday. He got a sticker that says, “I had a blood test” and gave it to Carter to wear while he was here playing. He was so considerate to share his sticker on his birthday. It was making us giggle :).
We then went to visit daddy at work and have lunch with him, which made Asher so happy to see his daddy and ride the scooter around campus. Ms. Faith also gave Asher a yummy birthday cupcake to celebrate the special occasion. We polished off the day with presents, skype calls to all the Grandma’s and Grandpa’s, pizza, and a birthday cinnamon roll. You can tell by the last picture that he definitely had his fill of sugar today, ha!
Happy Birthday, Asher! We love you so much!!!
Happy Birthday, Asher. We are so glad you had a fun day. We love you!
Those pics just got my morning off to a smile! I’m so glad my boys have Asher for a buddy! Carter & Asher are 2 little wild men together–I love how much they love each other! Too bad we couldn’t get pictures of the boys in the hammock. . . but I think the priority was definitely making sure nobody rolled out. . . that would NOT have been birthday fun!
It looks like a great day for Ash-man! Happy birthday! We love you, Buddy!
It looks like you guys had a great day. I love hearing the recap of when you went into labor! Carter and Asher look like great friends and the smile on Asher’s face at the end of the day really shows what a happy boy he is.
Happy Birthday Asher!
Happy birthday to Asher! He looks so grown up! I love seeing him with the mask helper on too, I’m so glad it’s helping with his treatments…let me know when that one gets too small. 🙂
WOW!!! Rach his face is looking so mature. No more baby! Looks like a really fun day. Happy Happy Birthday Asher! See you soon!
Happy Birthday Asher! I love those pictures. He is so happy! I can’t believe he’s already 2!!
Happy birthday, Asher!! Seriously I think 2 did something to him…he really does look so much older in those pics!!! Cute as ever!!! So glad you had such a great day together! We miss you guys!!!
Such a cutie boy! He just keeps getting cuter and cuter. Can’t believe he’s 2. I still remember getting the call and zooming across town with Sammer to meet him. And Sammie kept saying, “Asher” in her tiny voice. It’s forever etched in my memory. What a fun day you had-you guys know how to party! Happy birthday big guy.
