It fits Ace's little personality better than I ever thought it would. He looks like a million bucks.
You make me feel protected and safe.
...and for the way that you love the Lord, Ace and me. 5 years brings a lot of ups and downs but I would only ever want to experience them with you. I love you.
Jonathan has been calling my office a shrine to Ace after I made a photo collage of him. I disagree. Who wouldn't want to look at these photos all day while you work??? 
Jonathan's just jealous! Oh well, I still have two blank shelves for my favorite photos of him.
One of Ace's favorites places to play is in his kitchen cabinets. Originally I put the tupperware in there but everything in that cabinet gets thrown on and dragged across the floor and is now un-useable. So now it's all just Ace's.
And here's a glimpse of the fun we were having.What did I ever DO on week nights before my Acey arrived? Keep in mind, he had all of this energy after we spent an hour at Target just playing around in the toy section.
This weekend we had the entire family in Houston: Honey, Sashi, Aunt Leah & Uncle Allen, Brookelyn, Braedyn, Gabby and Pops! The Gilliams came in for Christmas at Granny's and the Evans came in because Aubrey was having her tonsils out. Coveniently, our church was having baby dedication so we decided better late than never to get Ace dedicated.
Ace is OBSESSED with the Hallmark singing snowmen that Gabby gave us a few years ago. He calls them "Noah." Here he is sitting on the stairs. He is saying "cheese" for the camera.
Here is Tata in heaven! I love my "Bookend" and "Baedyn."
Here is some video of Ace asking for me play the snowmen for the millionth time. He says "MO-EY" when he wants more.
I LOVE the Bachelor (much to Jonathan's dismay) and am MORE excited than EVER that it's Jason! January...come on already.
I'm a little weary that they are going to involve his son...so hopefully they will do all in good taste and protect that little boy. I will be watching am sure to have an opinion. Yippee...as if I needed any more TRASH to watch.
After the snow, I didn't have the heart to put Ace upstairs in his play-yard so we played with Hula.
Ace found a spot in the laundry basket to watch tv.
Yesterday, about 3:45, I looked out the front door and thought I was going crazy...it was SNOWING! My angel was sleeping but I woke him up from his nap and slapped on his shoes, mittens and his winter jacket and we outside.
It is the second time it's snowed since Ace was born. The first was in Waco the second day we were home from the hospital but, of course, he'd never remember that so it was the first time he'd seen snow.
I bought a $5 Santa from Walmart because I just knew Ace would love it. I was right. He always calls Santa "Noah" but he can say Santa too.
If we could bottle cuteness and sell it, we'd be millionaires!
With our Daddy working long hours, Honey and Sashi in Thailand and Gabby and Pops travelling the midwest, we haven't been up to much of anything lately. (That's my excuse for not posting.) So here are just a few videos and photos of Ace being Ace.
Ace was saying "3...2...1...go" and pushing on Hula's hiny. By the time I grabbed the camera he was just saying "3...2...3...2..." and then "weeeeeeeeeeee."
Sheer delight and mischief.
Ace has learned to say "Hello" and it's the sweetest little voice so I was trying to get it on camera, that's why I keep telling him to say "hello." Keep in mind that we have removed the couches and rugs so Jonathan could seal the floor, Ace was loving the echo and Jonathan was TRYING to sleep.
We love our Acey.
AH! I have wanted to update the blog for so long and run out of time every day. I get so excited to see that friends have updated theirs while not returning the excitement. I've got to get my latest photos downloaded...but first...I must ask: Who invented Christmas cards???? I LOVE them. I love creating them, I love receiving them but trying to get these things to print perfectly is like chasing my TAIL.
