It's so hard to believe we have a 5-year-old. Seems like only yesterday we were newly embarking on parenthood... of course, blissfully ignorant about what parenthood really was, but embarking on it nonetheless.
In five years, Asa has taught us so much about who we are and who we want to be. He's given us reason to be better and stronger people than we ever were before him. He's been through quite a lot in his short years, but you wouldn't know it from his amazingly playful demeanor and love of life. He is extremely well-adjusted, despite life's attempt at rocking his world. In fact, he loves his world. And we couldn't be more proud of him.
As any 5-year-old should enjoy, we had an awesome Star Wars themed birthday party over the weekend. Friends and family came out to help us celebrate, as did Obi-Wan Kenobi and others to help make his Jedi-training party a rockin' good time. Take a look at the MANY pictures!
Of course, The A Team was in full effect and we were excited to all be together for Ace's big day. So excited that we just couldn't contain our goofiness.
Asa was very happy to have Ari by his side. Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia - brother and sister - were perfect peas in a pod.
Now for his annual "stats," where there are no shockers here:
Height - 45.94 inches (95th percentile)
Weight - 52.2 pounds (95th percentile)
BMI - 17.33 (90th percentile)
So happy birthday to our BIG, healthy, sweet, and handsome boy! We love you dearly!

What an awesome party! So sorry we could not be there to celebrate. Your costumes were brilliant; Ariana's Princess Leai's hair and Melissa's my personal fave. That cake was incredible. Love Asa holding the limp light saber. ;-P
Happy B-day Asa!
We love and miss you all.
