Asher is 9!

It seems like yesterday that I held my first child in my arms. His gorgeous thick, dark hair, his pretty complexion, and his eyes were never blue. He is now 9 years old! This is our 1/2 way point... 9 more years and he will be leaving for college. What?! This child inspires me to be better, do better, have a grateful heart. He is kind and good hearted. How is it that he teaches me? I'm so very thankful that he's mine. I love you, sweet Asher! You are a treasure! Happy 9th birthday! Thanks to our lovely family for coming to celebrate with him! You made his day! He received two new pairs of shoes for his birthday. His momma can wear both pair! I blinked.

Garvan Woodland Gardens

Anthony Chapel is gorgeous!

Saw an unwelcome critter on the walk back….boo copperhead baby!

A scavenger hunt for the kids…

An adorable fairy garden…

The tulips were in bloom. I love tulips!

Exploring the gardens on this spring day was perfect!

Feeding peacocks was a treat too.

Drink stop and we met a friend. I love hound dogs! The kid's say his name is "Phillip". ;)

Ended our trip with pizza at Rocky's. Yum!
