Family Bowling Night With The Clark's (The Other Clark's)

 To celebrate the New Year with The Clark's (the other Clark's) we decided to go bowling!  Not sure if the girls were more excited about actually bowling or getting new shoes to wear.  And who knew they made shoes Asa's size!

 Here's Aunt Liz getting a high five from Jackson.

 And Uncle Ben showing us his fancy bowling skills. 

 Asa is taking it all in for her game with Uncle Ben.  And look at those little bowling shoes!  How cute are they!!!

 Asa's turn!  They have these fun little bowling racks for the little kiddo's to use.  Asa wasn't so sure about it all at first but then quickly got the hang of it especially with big sis showing her.

Okay so is it bad when your 2 year old scores better than you?  Yes, I came in last place - heck someone had to do it!

Whale Tail Park

 Today's fun adventure started with some fancy black and white coats then we headed to Whale Tail Park here in West Seattle.  As you can tell Asa is soooo in love with her big sister - Oh, what ever D does Asa does!

Monkey see Monkey do!

Xmas 2014 With Auntie Beans

 This year Christmas was very mellow, which was sooo nice!  Auntie Beans flew in from the tail end of a shoot to spend the Holiday with us before heading back to LA.  The girls loved having Auntie Beans around! 

 The weather was great so we spent lots of time at parks.  Here's Dylan and Auntie Beans just swinging away!

 Usually Asa has needed a little time warming up to Auntie Beans (as she does with everyone) but not this visit she just ran right up to her yelling "beans, beans".

Always are favorite times with Auntie Beans.  Thanks for hanging and spending Christmas with us!!!

Sweet Sisterly Love

Need I say more - this is true love right here.

Sisters

Awe, can't you just feel the love?

What Big Sister's Are For

For Dylan's birthday our good friend Kristie, who is in massage school, gave her an anatomy coloring book.  The other morning Dylan brings the book over to Asa, sits down and says "Asa I'm going to teach you a thing or two about anatomy." and begins to read away.  As if that wasn't funny enough Asa actually seemed really interested.

Love At First Sight

It's been love since first sight in the hospital!  What a great big sister!

Oh Asa Bean You're A Dream

Here she is.... lil Asa Bean.

Asa's Birth Pictures

Oh our beautiful little bean!  Here's some shots right after she was born with what we called "the clean up crew". 

Here is Asa and me meeting for the first time.  She instantly stopped crying and just stared at me.  It's pretty crazy feeling to have this little thing in your stomach for 9 months and then be holding it in your arms!  Pretty amazing.

Here she is getting weighted in.  7lbs 10 oz. 19 inches long.

Not happy!

All better!  All wrapped up tight and sucking her fingers - happy once again.

Sound asleep.  What a beautiful little bean sprout!

Here's Asa during her hearing test the next day.  They changed the testing a bit so she didn't get the cool head phones that her sister had during her test (she looked like a DJ).

A proud Pappa.  I also think it's sinking in that he's really out numbered now.

And a super proud sister.  Auntie Beans brought Dylan to the hospital after Preschool.  She knew she was coming to meet 'the crazy baby' but she didn't know the sex until she arrived.  She was sooo happy to find out that it was a baby sister.

So excited and soooo proud!  Baby Asa brought Dylan a Ballerina doll, which D thought was super cool!

And Auntie Beans, awesome Auntie Beans!  What would we ever do with out you!  Thank you sooo much for taking care of D and Maggie while we were at the hospital.  And for all your help since we've been home!  You are the best little sister a girl could have!

Sweet Baby Asa.  We are so excited you choose our family to be apart of!  It's funny when you have one child you can't possibly think that you'd ever have enough love for another but then you meet for the first time and it's love at first sight.  Your heart just opens that much more.  We love you little Bean!
