Our little sweetheart Asher Tariku turned two this Valentine's Day. The past year has flown by with his cuteness in our life. Above is a picture of us on his first birthday during our last day in Ethiopia.
Asher's first birthday was spent soaking in the Ethiopian sun in the courtyard of the home we were staying in, sharing cupcakes with friends, and doing last minute things around town like getting him his last $1 hair cut.
We then boarded a plane that evening out of Addis on February 14, 2012 headed for home.
This year we celebrated Asher being a big TWO surrounded by family (both in person and via Skype!).
Asher got lots of fun toys to play with. He has really gotten into drawing and loves to doodle.
Asher is crazy about cars and trains these days. He loves saying "mommy, cars! vrroom, vroom!" Whenever we're out and about around town he loves to point at different vehicles and tell us what they are. "Look, daddy! Van! Look! School bus!"
Thomas the train is his absolute favorite TV show. Everytime the Thomas song comes on he shakes his head back and forth with sheer delight. He got a nifty Thomas train track and a few choo choos for his birthday which he loves.
Asher and Hosanna love playing in their pop up Cars tent. Daddy loves playing in it with them too :)
Asher, you have come so far in the past year. You are growing so fast and learning so much every day.
We are so thankful that God has blessed us with you as our son. You make us laugh every day with your silly ways and your care free spirit. Your inquisitiveness and energy keep us on our toes and we can't imagine life without you, little buddy. We love you Asher!
