Asher Joesph Gaerlan






SOOO Sweet!!! Mommy and Daddy Gaerlan brought Asher Joesph into the world Thursday, October 18, 2007. He is the cutest baby boy!! Last night we went over to Kris and Vics house to take dinner and spend time with baby Asher. He is so sweet, and tiny - 5lbs 10oz. He has perfect pouty lips (like Vic) and has lots of brown hair. Asher was born about 2 weeks early. We are so excited to watch him grow!!!

A weekend in Amarillo....








Adam and I flew out to Amarillo to see Matt and Amy, and of course...the kids-Hannah, Connor and the newest Madi-Claire. We had a blast!! It was so nice to just relax, hang-out and do nothing...we did cook a great dinner with fresh steaks from Edes - an amazing meat market outside of town. We made an afternoon trip to the pumpkin patch with the kids. The Amarillo winds were blowing 100 miles an hour so our trip was short and sweet to the "pumpkin patch". Oh yeah, it was located in the United grocery store parking lot...the kids will never know the differance...We love our nieces and nephew.....they are wonderful!!

The House Renovations....

Well, we are still working away on our almost year long project of remodeling our home...Several months ago we started on the backyard...It was terrible to begin with, not a blade of grass one! Adam had our chain link fence put up for the dogs, then we laid all new sod, that was fun...Now last weekend, Adam and about 20 of his guys worked allday Saturday and Sunday on the installation of the landscape. They cut and removed the sod where the beds were designed to go, tilled and prepared the dirt to created many curved beds creating a beautiful "cottage" backyard - its more than I ever dreamed of. Adam did an AMAZING job with his selections. We planted azeleas, hydrangeas, gardenias, japanese maples, and many other beautiful plants...It just looks AWESOME! The dogs just love it too! Jessie and Snowball love to paruse or prance through the fresh pine scented mulch and nose around the flowers(not making me very happy).
This weekend we are headed to Amarillo to meet our newest niece "Madiclaire"...I cant wait to see the kids, Hannah and Connor are growing like weeds...We only get to see them every few months or so...It will be nice to spend a relaxing weekend, playing with the kids and spending time with Matt and Amy. Oh yeah, its cold there...I heard on the news yesterday, its like 45 degrees. Burrr....
