Gideon and Asher come to visit

In town for a wedding the second week of March, my friend Stacy and I were able to squeeze in a visit and a play date for our boys.  Having four boys under the age of 4 in the house was a little pandemonious, but it was fun to see how they interact and feed off one another. 

After playing with trucks, play doh, eating blueberry muffins and lunch (chicken nuggets, thank you!), we turned on good ol’ PBS for some peace while Stacy and I ate our lunch.  Jasper here is glued to Clifford.  Gideon isn’t all that into the big red dog, and Benjamin was all too eager to follow Gideon’s lead of not staying glued to the TV.  So, there was some up and down on the part of the mommas, but much less than if we had let them run free.

Asher, the Hock’s chunky monkey, is 3.5 months old and already fitting into 6mo clothes.  Sounds like our Benjamin!  He is a sweet, smiley boy!  Jasper loved loving on Asher (without actually making contact).  He would crouch down next to him on the floor and speak sweetly to him.  “Asher, it’s Jasper.”  He reminds me so much of his sweet cousin Linnea sometimes, it just blows my mind!

Benjamin too thought Asher was pretty cool and would point at him and jabber.  Before they left, this shot below reminded me of our first joint shot of Jasper and Gideon.

Benjamin thought Asher wanted a little rocking ride, but we didn’t think Asher was all that into being on a horse.  So, we cut off Benjamin before things got out of hand.  I think Asher was relieved.  :)
