Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!! Our Thanksgiving here in TN was wonderful. Nonni and Grandpa Armstrong, and even great grandpa Orton, have been visiting all week and Asher got to experience his first traditional family Thanksgiving. We had a delicious turkey dinner with all the yummy fixin's and relaxed.

Daddy got to catch up on some sleep from being on the road, and Asher loved snuggling up with daddy.


Nonni took some time to read Asher a book....
...and love on her sweet little grandson


We even took a trip to the Opryland Hotel - Asher LOVES looking at the lights!

The lights on the BIG Christmas tree in the entrance was his favorite
-- The Two Month Check-Up --

Asher had his 2 month checkup and the pediatrition said he is doing great and growing like a weed! She didn't even recognize him from his last visit because he had gained 5 lbs. Asher now weighs 11.5 lbs and is over 22 inches long. He also had to get his first round of shots, which were no fun at all! He had to get two shots in each thigh. Mommy was glad daddy was there for support because it was hard to see Asher upset from the shots. But, Asher took it like a champ and was smiling and cooing the entire way home.

A funfilled two weeks!!


It's crazy to think that Asher had his very first plane ride at 6 weeks old!! Mommy and Asher flew home to PA for 2 weeks to visit with family and friends while daddy was on the road with the band.

Our first stop was with Grandma Nene and Papa Bud. We stayed there most of the time in between our visits with friends. They were very excited to get to spend some time with Asher and mommy!

Next stop was to visit with mommy's best friend, April and Asher's newest best pal, Kaiden. We got to spend time with them at State College and even took a picture with the Penn State Nittany Lion. Asher was very excited since daddy is an alumni of PSU!



Then it was back home to anxiously await the newest cousin, Brooke Autumn Ley. Mommy's sister, Kim, delivered her on Tuesday morning and Asher was very excited to meet his new baby cousin. She is the very first girl in the gang of cousins.

And before it was time to head back to TN, we even got to catch a show of daddy's in Pittsburgh. And got to spend some time with Noni and Grandpa Armstrong!! What a great night! Asher sure did miss daddy and his grandparents. He and Grandpa even shared a pretty in depth conversation on the couch!!


What a great few weeks!!
