Since we have last updated we have been on the go! Asher is quickly getting a taste of living the life of youth ministry. About 3 weeks ago, we headed up to Olivet Nazarene University for Regional Celebrate Life. We loaded up the van at 6:00 am with 5 students and made the 4 1/2 hour trek. As you can see, it was a little early for some of our kids...
Asher, however, did great!
He enjoyed a bottle while we stopped to get the kids some breakfast and had a quick diaper change on another stop. While we were at Olivet, Asher enjoyed watching volleyball and basketball and listening to our girls sing.
After 2 full days of running, Asher started to wear out. First he got a little silly...
Then, he started to tire...
Then, he finally gave up.
All in all, it was a great weekend and we had a great time watching the kids use their talents!
Last weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Ballinger came back into town to get their Asher fix. We had a fun, relaxing weekend full of snuggles and giggles.
Today we took Asher for his 4 month check-up. Everything was great! Heart sounded perfect and he is developing wonderfully. He weighed 14 pounds and 5 ounces and was 27 1/2 inches long. 27th percentile for weight and 97th percentile for length. That's right, long skinny boy. Tell us something we don't know. Wonder where he gets that from?:) The doctor wasn't concerned. She took one look at Mark and said that it was just genetics:) We are starting cereal tonight which should be fun! That should help him put on some pounds.
This afternoon, I caught some great smiles that I wanted to share with you...never get tired of those eyes:)
That's all for now. Looking forward to finishing school next week and our travels to Georgia and Ohio next month!
Love,
The Thompson clan
