Good Food, Cute Kids

Today Ashley and I went on a Thai food adventure with the blonde-haired, blue-eyed baby gang.  

Can't walk without patting his belly....

Bouncing & Walking

We have a new game... called Harlan is not just a puppy brother, but a bouncy castle.

Walking Machine

A very unsteady walking machine....

Asher knew Ben was home from work and was waiting for him to come through the garage (like he always does).  But Ben surprised him and came through the front door, totally threw him through a loop.

It's Wednesday... Time for Shots and Cuteness

At Starbucks waiting for Asher's girlfriend to arrive... luckily there was a bloodhound outside to distract him.

Adelyn was trying to teach Asher how to play her game.  He was acting coy (a nice way of saying his little pea brain doesn't know how to play iPad games yet...).

After our coffee date, Asher had to go to the doctor for his 15 month appointment where he got lots of shots.  But luckily, the shots led to a 3 hour long nap and he is now doing quite well.  

Using Harlan as a chair.  We have such a good puppy.

When you ask Asher what sound a doggie makes, he howls. 

 His puppy brother is part hound... we can't help it.

 Playing fetch with Har.

Action shot!

Random

Chaos in Motion.

 Second salon haircut.  Still skeptical.

 Two things can launch Asher into a total and complete trance:

1) Shakira

2) Fire

Love.

The Butterflies Are Here! And so is Grandma Karen!

Heading to the Butterfly Pavillion with Grandma Karen

 Oh botanical gardens.... I love you.

Lily Pond

Stomping around in the water....of course.

Last Weeks Madness

Hey sweetheart.

Sliding on his belly.

Waiting in the lobby for Asher's first dentist appointment.

He's a skeptic.

Cautiously accepting a toothbrush from the doctor.

 (...eternally grateful to you Julia... eternally)

 If a plate of food could be murdered this is what it would look like.  Good job Asher.

Practicing chewing on jerky with daddy.

Carly, Albuquerque called, they said you now have dual citizenship.

We are eating icecream and watching Despicable Me, a lovely end to an even lovelier visit.  Carly doesn't leave until tomorrow morning, but I'm just going to go ahead and pretend that she is going to relocate to Albuquerque.

The first nights photo war with Jaksa & Bodnar in Chicago.

Saturday morning was spent at the spa.  Coffee. Check.  Trashy romance novel. Check.  Getting herbal wraps and foot rubs.  Check.

90 degree day poolside. Check.

This morning we checked out the new market, located inside the old train depot.

Asher & Auntie Carly

This look from these two is, "Of course you would be playing a Bob Marley song," while listening to the street performer.
