The "Witch Book"

Mimi bought Asa the children's book "Room on the Broom" and brought it with her when she came for Norah's birth. Asa LOVES this book and insists on reading it Every. Single. Night. 

Our nightly conversation since October 4th:
M: which book do you want me to read?
A: the witch book!!!!

Here's to hoping he takes to one of the many books he's getting for Christmas cause Mama is over this one. :)

Don't tell Santa

Asa got in trouble with Tony tonight for not listening when Tony asked him to stop doing something. Asa walked over to me to let me know he got in trouble. He then added, "Don't tell Santa." Your secret is safe with me little boy. :)

Asa met Santa!

We made an impromptu trip to the mall the weekend before Thanksgiving and Asa was super excited to meet Santa when we found out he had already arrived.
This was his very first meeting with Santa. (I know- bad mama)!



Thanksgiving 2014

Our Thanksgiving was great! We hosted about 15 of Tony's family members including Grandmas, nieces, his sister, aunt, uncle, and cousins. Dinner was good and so was the company. Norah got to meet several relatives for the first time which is always special. I neglected to take pictures on Thanksgiving day, but I have a few from the weekend.


Norah and her great grandma Ardis.

The Latest on Asa

Playing Hard



Sleeping sweetly-



It's a cold, November day and Asa decided he wanted to go to the pool so he got himself dressed. He was disappointed when I had to say "not today."
