aaron + asher.

 applebees.

we went on a little date and took our nursling along :)

thankful

for the peaceful moments.

hello.

one month

two months

three months

heehee, such a bundle of love :)

p.s. we have no internet at home anymore.

life right now.

we started roman's first year of homeschool preschool. it has been hectic, but special to see him learn and grow. asher is in love with his "busy bees". he cracks us up as he lays under them and smiles away. he also likes his animal mobile now, but not as much as the bees of course.

 roman loves to makes us "presents" which consist of various set ups of his toys placed somewhere in the house for us to admire. i love having little boys. i'm always saying that to aaron. when i was first pregnant with roman, i couldn't imagine having a boy. now, i can't imagine it any other way.

we've spent the end of our summer taking lots of drives out to the country and painting at our new house. there she is, complete with massive bushes and a crooked little address post.

asher with his great-grandma, "namaw".

eight weeks.

cute little eight week old asher

in his "monster suit"

so sweet,

so tiny,

so perfect.

i love this second picture with his hand stretched out by his face.

his teeny newborn fists are starting to unwrap, and become real hands.

those long fingers reaching out, ready to explore his little world.

oh, roman.

the past few weeks, roman seems to have more peacefully settled into his new role as a brother. we have been spending a lot of time painting at the new house, and also started his homeschool preschool. so i'm not sure if the distraction has helped or if he has just fallen into a new phase as children do.

either way, it's been nice to see this boy smile.

everything about this little guy has been killing me with cuteness lately. he loves super heroes and spends hours upon hours telling stories about his hero-ness.

he is super excited for halloween. this boy was BORN for halloween. he loves dress up, he loves pretend, he loves "spooky things". he has the most vivid imagination i've ever seen.

i so love getting to see the amazing personality that God created in this boy. he sure is special.
