The babe is nearly three weeks old already. I am in denial. I am feeling obligated to work steadily; to keep up on the housework, the cooking, the laundry... but all I want to do is sit and stare at him. I know how quickly these weeks disappear. He still has all those newborn mannerisms--the fluttering of the eyelids, the phantom sucking in his sleep, the squinched up faces--I am head over heels in love.
Hope to be back soon with some more photos to send your way...that is, if I can stop snuggling with him long enough to actually take some!

About Me
- our little acorns
- Bellingham, WA, United States
- I love beach houses and farmer's markets, a warm bed in a cold room, being surprised with a Starbucks coffee, rain outside my window, acting as queen to my six silly boys, delighting in my daughter's belly laugh, learning the fear of the Lord, peanut m&m's after the kids are in bed and making my husband proud. I don't love shoes left on the landing, cooking on the weekend, hot summer nights, being the center of attention or fair-weather friends. This is my own private therapy. Welcome.

And I still am madly in love with his name!!
I am SO the same! All I want to do is stare at Asher as well. I love those newborn mannerisms, even the goat-grunting all night long :)
Sweet, sweet Ari! I am missing him, and all of you. I will be so eager to see you sometime soon after our return (Oct. 6).
In the meantime, snuggle for me, too, please.
Nana <3
