December and the holidays 2008- We started in Rochester Christmas morning, and then drove to Norwich. Asher opened a few gifts, went nuts for a train set, and then went nuts again later with Uncle Rick, and seemed upset with a tree before enjoying dinner. The second to last- is one of my favorite family pictures of Asher and Stephanie It says a thousand words, and is one of the best I have yet to take.

January 17th 2009- His fifth birthday, a real birthday party with friends. 4 advils for papa & all the adults survived. Asher had his pals Will, Wil, Emily, PJ, a few parents, Penny, Jenny, John and Summer...and family of course. The party started with hat making, had a few balloon fights, a breakfast lunch, and a Thomas cake. In the middle of present opening, even he couldn't believe everything he got for gifts. Then he gave Summer her Christmas presents- including a feather boa. Somehow during all of this he turned his hat around and did a Little Rascals pose for me. And lastly, he has a sweet new train (not Thomas!!) from grandma and grandpa.

February, March, and April 2009- Asher now wears his political views, has a tug of war with mama, poses for face pics, has a play date with his pre-school pal Zack, sleeps in the window like our cats, celebrates Easter in Norwich by coloring Easter eggs, making cookies with his favorite person , playing with great grandma, and waking up to the good stuff (look at that haul!), snuggling with his chick, and playing the Wii with cousin Brent.

May 2009- Asher and Katelyn share a drink at Aladdins, Penny buys Asher his first Abbots of the summer (and proceeds to take this mug shot and email it all around town), Asher and Katelyn at her birthday dinner, Mother's day with the Wii, Mama and Grandma- and Mario on Steph's lap. Asher also played photographer for the volatile Grandma/Grandpa Wii bowling showdown- this way it was documented for the courts. Gardening with Mama, and you never know what you'll wake up to in our house. On May 23rd- it was a Rock & Roll fashion combo.
