SNOW

'Oh ma goodness' (as Asher would say) we got a lot of snow today! Poor kid was sick with a stomach bug, but still wanted to take a quick trip outside to walk in the snow and throw a few snowballs.

Dallas Aquarium

A few weeks ago, we spent the morning at the Dallas Aquarium which is quite impressive. It is so much more than an aquarium! We had a fun time and I'm sure we will be back.

Close encounter with a sloth. He is allowed to roam freely for a period of time each day, apparently not posing much of a threat. Did you know the sloth's digestion is a month-long process? Yep, this big guy is making his move...apparently she 'had a headache' and pushed him aside. It wasn't pretty.

Flamingo fascination

Watermark

We love our church! Watermark recently celebrated its 10th anniversary by throwing a huge party complete with bounce houses, fair vendors (corn dogs, funnel cakes, etc) and a band. We had a great time and are beyond blessed to be part of such an authentic group of fully devoted Christ followers. What better illustration than this...

These kids do not know Asher. Rather than pass him up as he struggled up the ladder, they helped him, unprompted, the entire way.

And even waited at the top to see that he slid down safely.

Thank goodness for sunglasses, because I was a blubbering fool watching this scene unfold as the band belted out Amazing Grace directly behind me.

Just Like Daddy

Michael wraps his towel around his waist each morning after showering and this particular morning, Asher insisted on doing the same. Luckily, a hand towel is just the right length.

Asher's new favorite activity..."I try Daddy's shoes"

Christmas 2009

Before I play blog catch-up, here are some pictures from Christmas.
