Sunday Snapshot: {Asher is 12}

Today we celebrated Asher.



He just turned 12.



His choice for birthday cake wasn’t so much of a cake.



It was more of a birthday banana split.



With all the trimmings.



Asher style.



And more than celebrating his birth, today we celebrate who Asher is.



And just how much we love him.



And although I am admittedly a bit biased, Asher really is a loveable kid.



He’s got a great sense of humor and is able to make the most mundane of things hilarious.



He’s humble and gentle.



And, especially when it comes to his littlest sister, is a big softie.



Happy 12th Birthday, A-bone.



We cherish who you are.

And we can’t wait to see who you become.

    Hi Stephanie,

    First, I’d like to wish Asher a very Happy Birthday!
    But, the main reason for my post is to ask your advice. I’ve been following your blog. I have been encouraged and enlightened! Thank you! I am in search of a good agency to work with in adopting from China. I was wondering who you worked and/or who you would recommend.

    Thanks!

    Happy Birthday Asher!

    I’d never would have thought about doing banana splits instead of a cake. Definitely not the norm. 🙂
