On my shelf this week:

That would be a baby.

His name is Asher Ruben, and he was born Jan. 29. So, instead of books on my shelf this week, it is him. There is not much reading going on here, except children’s books, because he is just too cute to put down (and babies are just a little bit of work). Sometimes we just have to freeze time and live, without our nose buried in books, because these days won’t last forever. So I have put down my books this week. And I have picked up my son.

Best quotes so far:

“He’s just so cute!”
-Asa, my 5-year-old.

“Mama, remember when you took off his diaper, and he peed all over himself?”
-Jadon, my 8-year-old.

“I just love baby Asher.”
-Hosea, my 4-year-old.

“You holding baby Atcher, Mama?”
-Zadok, my 2-year-old.

“Baby Atcher sleeping?”
-Boaz, my other 2-year-old.
