Dancing Fool....

This afternoon Asher & I were listening to music... I think we found his jam....

It's Spring!

The last two days it has been 70 degrees in Albuquerque and we've been celebrating spring with lots of outdoor playtime.

Fishing with daddy

On a trail walk-- apparently Asher felt like he was being punished with this one, which I didn't realize until we got home and I looked at this picture :)

Park playdate with Payson & Ashley

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a fun St. Patrick's day today at the park with our friends.

Asher & Liam swinging (...well, Liam swinging, Asher sitting in his swing motionless)

 Hi buddy!

Classic Asher & Payson

Mom & Hilary & Doggers Do Albuquerque

Mom & Hilary came through Albuquerque this week, and we had a lovely visit with them and their herd of muttskees.  We had a lot of good talks, ate our favorite burritos, and played with the pups. 

 A perfect way to spend a couple days :)

Such a beautiful pair.

What are we looking at?

Let's look over here!

Let's look at you!

 Harlan had a blast with his four puppy friends.  Our backyard was the perfect romping ground.

THAT'S where you get the eyebrow from! :)

Snuggling

Playing with the doggers.

Going fishing.

Harlan & Early were fast friends.

Hi beautiful boy :)

I believe this was in the middle of a serious discussion about the Malaysian Airlines flight... there were three conspiracy theorists and one strong, silent type.  I think you can imagine where the divide was :)

The dogs are afraid of the squirt bottle, Asher... not so much.

My sweet, sleepy boy.  Bedtime.

Some more pictures from our Minnesota trip

Asher's Birthday Suit :)

Hmmm, whatcha eatin' mama?

Nom nom nom

Clapping for himself at cake time-- of course.

Smasher smashes cake.

Yum.

Cake = Smashed.

Hanging out with the big red dog.

The windows at Karen & Jim's were Asher height-- he would just run laps, checking out the world.

Home Again, Home Again

We had such a nice time in Minnesota (despite the surgery), and are so lucky to have the incredible family that we do.  But boy, did we miss Ben.  We were ready to get back to him, Harlan, and spring time in Albuquerque.

Asher skyping with daddy.  He went totally nuts and wouldn't stop trying to touch his face.

And now we are home!  Just in time for the cherry blossoms to be in full bloom.

 Asher & I split a chocolate croissant today.  Believe it or not, this was not the highlight of the day :)

 Highlight of the day was introducing Asher to his new water table :)

Here come the boys!

The beautiful blossoming trees in our back yard.

Poor baby is having quite the reaction to where the EKG leads were stuck to his chest and belly :(
