i love the end of the day when it is bath time and then snuggle time before bed. there is something so sweet and fulfilling about our family being all together, taking the simple moments to enjoy just being. although i don't know if many people will find this video very interesting (aside from the grandparents), i could watch it over and over. beware... asher is in the tub. do not watch if you are offended by a slight show of nakedness.

the many faces of asher

the "what, these clothes just appeared in my bed" face.







the "this is yummy, however, i could have done without the tomato seeds on my face" face. (for the full effect, click to enlarge.)








the "tv watchin'" face (he comes by it rightly.).










the classic face. i cannot get enough of this one!

and caleb makes five!

that's right, folks. as of 3:30 this morning, caleb john-louis white joined the pack of boys on the white side (including caleb, there are five boy kiddos between my brothers and i). congratulations, garret and mandy. welcome, caleb. we love you already.

4 days and counting

asher turns 1 on monday. i cannot believe he is a year old already, but isn't that what every parent says?! it really is true. it goes so quickly. here's to the big boy!

oh annie, i love you!

my sister-in-law, annie, has launched a photography business (click here to see her work), and i couldn't be happier. her business means that i often get adorable pictures of asher, just by hanging out with her. she took some time with our family while we were on vacation last weekend to take some 1 year pictures of asher. although they have the watermark on them, you still get to see the big boy. and a big boy he is! thank you annie!!

more about the weekend later.

memories

i usually say safety first, but this required picture first. he is a quick one!

"um.... i'm helping?!"

too much

i have no words this evening. i only have pictures.

asher's alternative to crawling in the grass. he doesn't like the grass on his knees.... at all.
