Preface

To begin, this a blog co-written by someone who generally HATES blogs (Dani).  Some blogs are extremely helpful, interesting, and inspiring, but most of them seem to be pretty self-absorbed, thus the reason I'm not a fan of most.  Hopefully this is not one of the latter...  I NEVER thought I would be one to blog, but it seems like the most efficient way to express ourselves and to share information regarding our son that is inquired about from various sources.  Since almost all of our family resides out-of-state, they do not have the opportunity to visit Asher often at all... Many of them still wish to know how he is doing, and since we have so many family members and friends all over the country, it seems best to log everything in one place as opposed to sending out endless emails, text messages, and facebook posts all saying the same thing.  This way, if you are interested, you can come here as often (or as infrequently) as you like... and you won't be bothered with mass emails from us that you might not care about.  We also don't really want to post all of our business (or all of our photos) on facebook, so this is a good alternative to share more intimate information with people who truly care about how Asher is doing.  Please don't feel pressure to "follow" this blog, but if you choose to, it's a very easy way for us to get information out to all of you, if that's what you desire. 

Our little pumpkin will be a month old tomorrow, and it seems like we've already been through SO MUCH with him, it's hard to know where to begin when sharing it all.  With the recent findings about Asher's health, it's just not practical or realistic that we could reply to all of your emails, phone calls, text messages, and facebook messages in a timely manner, so this is another reason why this seems like a good option for us.  We aren't promising that we will post daily, weekly, or even often, but we will as often as we think to do so, so we can share the happenings of Asher's little life with those who are curious.  If you aren't curious, and don't really care to know a million details about him and our life with him, that's OK too, we totally understand  ;)  We just want to chronicle the information in one condensed spot for those of you who care to know the details, as it's a MUCH better option for us than reiterating the same info over and over and over to friends and family.  We plan to share updates about him and just log a small piece of his story for those who are interested.  Hopefully it's informative and enjoyable!  :)  Happy reading!
