Here is a little video of Asher. It isn't the video I wanted to upload, I couldn't get that one to work for some reason, which is unfortunate because he gives some really nice smiles. He kind of smiles in this one, but you will have to endure a couple minutes of mommy baby talk until he actually does it. Feel free to turn down the volume. :)

We're Back!
We've decided to start up the old blog again now that we have a baby, and we know grandparents at least would like frequent updates.
Little Asher is doing great. He recently had his two month check up and was declared a "poster baby" by the pediatrician. He is spoiling us, or trying to ensure that he has siblings, by being an easy baby. Of course he has his moments, but we are constantly reminded how good we have it when we hear about what others have gone through.
He has now just about outgrown his newborn clothes, which made me a bit sad when I could no longer stuff him into my favorite outfit. Here are a few new pictures of our little cutie.

Quality time with the Folks
While David's parents were visiting we got around to several of the major tourist attractions in the area. We were able to visit the National Museum of American History, which has been closed for the past 2 years and has recently reopened. My favorite exhibit was to see the original Kermit the Frog muppet. We love the muppets!
We also spent some time on the mall, driving around and seeing some of the monuments.
Gettysburg is only about a 40 minute drive from where we live in Maryland, but David and I had never visited the battlefield before. It was a fascinating trip, and gave us a much better understanding of what actual happened during that battle and the entire civil war.
Unfortunately, David had to start his bar class, so while he went to class David's parents and I went to Mount Vernon. It was a beautiful day and the grounds and museums of Mount Vernon are amazing. Later that day we picked up David and headed over to Great Falls, a beautiful national park. We had a wonderful time, and hope we'll have more family and friends out to visit!

David graduates from Law School
Well he did it! David graduated from Georgetown in May. Law School is now but a fond memory and boy am I proud! We were fortunate enough to have David's parents come out for his graduation and had a great time visiting with them and seeing some of the local tourist sites. Sadly graduating does not mean that David is actually done with school. He had to start his bar class the day after graduation. He is busier than ever right now and working really hard to get ready for the bar at the end of July.

Versaille
Versaille is the location of one of France's most well-known palaces. It takes about an hour to get there from downtowm Paris, but was well worth the visit. Of all the palaces we saw in Europe, those in France were the most grand, colorful, and impressive (notice the gold gates!). Upon the grounds of the palace there were several smaller "palaces" one of which was the private home of Marie Antoinette.
This was a really funny fountain, you can't see it very clearly, but there are people with frog faces.
Marie Antoinette's house.
Looking back at the palace across the extensive grounds.
Enjoying a tasty treat from a french bakery.
