Aaron Gilbert Asch

He's here! The doctors may have said he was almost a week "late," but Aaron Gilbert Asch came right on time -- 6:02 am on August 20, 2012. Mom's doing well -- Aaron did his best to hustle out of the womb, so labor was relatively quick. Welcome to the world, Aaron! Your sisters may be "girlhandling" you (i.e., hollering in your ear, pushing your swing "super hard," seeing how much you can be tickled before you wake up), but it's only because they are so excited to have you in the house. 

 

 

Olympics, Part 2

The US swim team won all kinds of medals in London, and they have inspired Miri & Robin in the pool. Robin ditched her last floatie a couple weeks ago, so she is full-on swimming.

Miri's been working on her gold medal form.

Best part of camping

Olympic spirit

The girls have loved watching the Olympics, though their taste in events is, um, unusual. Some of their favorites? Pole vaulting, rowing, and synchronized diving. But the amazing American gymnasts have been inspirational too:

With the Myers clan

Miri & Robin spent several days at the beach with their Massachusetts cousins, Matthew, Damon, and John. Matthew is now ten, so he's the patriarch; Miri & Damon are inseparable; and Robin & Johnny (six weeks apart) are simply hilarious together. From the Boardwalk to Assateague to Frontier Town, the girls had a blast!
