Dobbs Days: Louisville and Catch up

Well Eric had an 8:00 meeting on a Saturday morning (with church stuff, not work!) and Asher's sound a sleep (for a nap, not still from the night) and well I thought I'd catch everyone up on our lives. :)

We had an awesome weekend last weekend in Louisville, Kentucky at the Simply Youth Ministry Conference. I flew with Asher, and he did awesome. He slept through all the take offs on the way there and ate through the landings, and vice versa on the way home. No ear problems, hardly any fussing... our biggest drama was him peeing on the changing table in the airport and trying to figure out how to wipe up the giant puddle of pee without leaving him "unattended on the changing table"... :) Thankfully our friend and travel partner Disa was there to help! It's been forever since he's peed with his diaper off! Many a person in the airport asked if Disa's nine month old son, Gibson, and Asher (now three months) were twins... more proof that I birthed a giant baby. Can't really blame them though when Gibson only weighs one more pound than Asher!

The conference itself was great! Great speakers, great worship by Shane and Shane! (one of my absolute faves), great workshops, tons of great info on working with and ministering to teens, great time with Eric away from regular life... what more can I say? :) It was a huge blessing and we definitely hope we'll get the opportunity to return next year!

In other news, Asher has finally mastered grabbing onto toys and putting them in his mouth... we may come to despise this new skill once he's on the go and putting random objects in his mouth... but for now we celebrate that he's connecting the neurons in his brain.

Also thought I'd share the photos from Eric's playtime with Asher the other night... I think Eric was entertaining himself more than he was entertaining Asher, but the resulting photos and ensuing laughter were well worth it. :)
