One Year Ago:
One last walk on Galveston Island, just 2 weeks before the hurricane.

Delivery Day: 41 Weeks Preggy- Sorry Asher, we're dragging you out!
Our new Peanut.
Asher turned 1 year old on September 22!
Mommy, Daddy, and Asher celebrated by going to State and Allen Lounge for dinner, one of our Dallas favs! Asher enjoyed some chicken, pita, and hummus, and Mommy helped him use a fork like a big boy. We had a wonderful evening walk to dinner in the cool weather, such a nice, peaceful way to be together.
To Asher- What a blessing you are to raise! You have brought us so much joy during this last year of trials. We love you!
Asher is a Hebrew name meaning "happy" or "blessed". He really is a happy and blessed little boy.
Asher's Buckaroo Birthday Party

Sweet, sick birthday boy. He definitely was not himself but held it together pretty well for the party. Thanks, buddy. Family and friends helped us celebrate Asher's 1st, buckaroo-style, at my grandmother's house in College Station on Sunday.
He poked around on the cupcake but didn't eat a thing. :(
Here's a smile!

Looking like a real little buckaroo!
Banana layer cake and cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Don't forget the Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream! Yum!

Nasty Virus
Poor Asher! He has had a rough week after picking up some nasty virus causing him to vomit all night then get an ear infection and nasal congestion and losing a whole pound of body weight in the process! He now weighs less than he did at 10 months old! Good thing he had plenty of fat to spare. We almost canceled his birthday party, and probably should have in retrospect since we passed the virus around my family. However, except for Asher being sick, the party was a success!
