Our Daughter, In Utero

"I'm just cooking in here - be ready to meet you all real soon!  Until then, I'll be sure to nudge (aka KICK) my Mommy every once in a while to remind her of the future Spartan Warrior PRINCESS she's got inside her."

Hoppin' Good Time - Easter 2012

After an amazing pot luck lunch, an egg hunt extravaganza was held in the backyard... with more eggs than the Grant Park population!  Hunting went on and on - even Barnibus found an egg when all was said and done.  Of course, what's any good Easter without a few photo ops.  Enjoy more here.

Asa's School Photo

My oh my, how this boy keeps getting bigger.  He has been at DHCDC since he was 12 weeks old - and two of his best buds have been with him ever since then, too!  Now, he's the tallest in his class (with a couple girls giving him a run for his money).  I'm so proud of the boy.  He's super smart, VERY funny, and a whole lot of fun.  TGF Asa!

Funny Bunny

Took a trip to the mall to see the Easter Bunny.  He wasn't too busy, so he spent quite a bit of time with us - he had a LOT to say, but he couldn't talk, so he used an etch a sketch to communicate.  Asa found him to be very amusing!  We're ready for Easter this weekend.

Blue Ridge Good Time

We had a fantastic weekend with the Jones' family in the Blue Ridge mountains of GA.  Tons of photos to prove it.



Shopaholics Breed Shopaholics

I think I might be creating a monster.  Asa loves all my shopping sprees... and given the chance, he prefers to join me!

Housewarming by Bonfire --- and Our BIG News

We had a great time warming up the new house with all of our friends and family... even one in utero... by the big bonfire table.  Asa shared the big news that he is going to be a big brother come September.  This promises to be an excited year as we continue settling into our new home and neighborhood and as our family grows to a party of four!  More pics.

Happy Valentine's Day... Love, Santa

Asa enjoyed his Valentine's Day gifts this morning from Santa, until  he realized they were from Mom and Dad.  :-)

More gifts from Nana, Jiddo & Grandma Jane, and Pops below - all the cards read: "Asa James, I love you." Yes, he's a genious kid - he can already read. :-)

A Super S'mores Party

We had a great time yesterday - some watched the Super Bowl and others ate s'mores.  This was Asa's first late night party... didn't get him to bed until 11pm.  Of course, Dad paid the price for this by joining him in his twin bed around 2am.  Still, fun was had by all. 

[Good luck to Asa's teachers today!  We're sorry in advance.]

Where did January go?

Wow - I didn't realize how much time had passed since my last post.  We recently celebrated Nana's birthday at Mason Mill Park with all her grand-boys!  Followed that up with a movie with the Moms.  It was a nice afternoon.

Atlanta's winter has been incredibly miled - almost Spring-like and I'm loving that!  I'm hopeful February will continue with the awesomeness of the 60 degree weather, but that it won't fly by as fast as January.  I have no idea where that month went!

Asa had Tacky Day at school this week and Dad spiked his hair.  By the time I arrived to pick him up, it had fallen to his normal do - pour kid, he's got his Mama's thick hair that will never style!  Not that he'll care as much as I do.

We're looking forward to Aunt Marisa's 30th birthday this month, as well as a long-past-due Housewarming in Grant Park.  I'll do better with more frequent blog posts - it's sure to be another jammed-packed year of Zbeeb fun!

And a recent random video thrown in just for good measure...
