1. sorry, not a tanzania post. i will work on that.
2. this is, most probably, for the grandparents and nostalgia's sake only.
this morning, during our rainy, lazy saturday morning, i thought i would write down all of asher's words. we have a pretty good list, and i just thought i would share. we are SOO thankful to have asher back to himself these days. i think the jet lag and culture shock have finally worn off. what a month :) we have been eating him up these last few days. so, here's to lazy mornings and family time. asher's words at 18 months:
