Asher is 5!
Today our Asher turns 5! I just seem to accept the fact my "baby" is 2 and 5 days later my first "baby" turns 5! Talk about a lot for this momma! and daddy! Our kids are growing up and although we're LOVING who they are becoming with each and every older and passing year, it's just well, sentimental too!
This baby was so beautiful to me! I couldn't get over how beautiful he really was just moments after birth. I guess I was just planning on one of those alien looking/only cute to the parents babies, but I remember Gabe and I were both completely SHOCKED with how cute he really was! I guess we both were just planning on the worst. "How could the 2 of us come up with something so stinkin' cute" was our thinking!
Asher's first Christmas. I can't help but notice in ALL pictures of me and Asher how happy I am. Look how happy I am! Not that I was not happy before, but wow I remember feeling and knowing SO strongly I was doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing in being a mom! I loved every moment of it, and can honestly say, still do!
Happy again!
The mom in me just wants to hold this one and never let him get a inch taller. The heart in me knows he's too special to keep at home forever just for us. I love Asher's heart. His sweetness. His desire to please all the time and do the right thing. I love him! My heart just bursts for him. I am completely honored and taken a back when I think that somehow the Lord saw ME fit (with His help and guidance) to be his mom. I like who this boy is becoming and I anticipate and look forward to knowing who he will become as a man, and a man of God at that!
Tonight Asher will take a trip to the store with Gabe to pick out his choice of cereal for breakfast tomorrow which is SUCH a BIG DEAL! We're REALLY celebrating tomorrow since it's Saturday, Gabe will be home, and family and cousins will come to join in a special gathering and celebration of BOTH boys!

He was a cute baby and is STILL such a cute boy! We all talk about often! (I promise you... my family and I, we're really not stalkers or anything. It's just that cute kids tend to come up often as a topic of conversation, and Asher is certainly that!)
@brietta - Haha well somehow Miss Liana (Mrs. Gilchrist previously!) is brought up EVERY Friday night's dinner, and every now and then many other times too! I think all of you girls have had a special place and still do in his heart! Even down to Aubrey. What can I say he knows good stock even at a young age
