I have some exciting news that I want to share with you! It’s about the best thing I ever “made”!
Without further ado… Roby and I would like to introduce you to our son, Antony Thomas!
Okay, this picture is a tease. You can only see baby Tony’s striped gray hat sticking out of the ergo baby that dad is rocking.
Here’s a better picture of our new family.
He’s so teeny tiny but this little guy has somehow managed to take up my whole heart.
Time is flying by. Too fast. Tony is already a month old! I meant to write this blog post and share our news with you much sooner, but man – being a new parent is exhausting.
Even in my constant sleep-deprived state, I can’t stop staring at this little human who made me a mommy.
SO WONDERFUL ASHLEY! I did not even realize you were pregnant! Best of luck and loo etc you always! One thing is for sure: Little Antony will eat well with his amazing chef of a mother 🙂
PS- Check out this book 🙂 Perfect timing for you. My sis wrote – I think you will like it (and you know her). http://www.whatagoodeater.com

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are such a super cute family…. what a sweet little guy! Take it easy on yourself and get sleep whenever you can. You look so good… how do you do that? I hope you stored some of those pumpkin tuna patties in your freezer before the birth, because they are SO GOOD and something you can grab. When I see a newborn baby I remember how THIRSTY I was, breastfeeding… I need to go get get some water just thinking about it. Stay hydrated and nourished during this time of interrupted sleep… good wishes to you! Take a break… we have lots of good recipes to use for now! And we can all get your ebook to keep us occupied for awhile.. 🙂
Thank you so much for the well wishes and advice!! I’m definitely always thirsty (and hungry haha). And I actually do have the pumpkin tuna patties in the freezer lol! 🙂
Soooooooooooo Sweet, Makes me remember the good old days. My youngest is 33, my oldest is 46. Congratulations to you both. May you all have a wonderful and Blessed life.
Thank you so much, Eva!! 🙂

Many blessings to you, Ashley and Roby for your darling son. He’s wonderful.
I remember when my son, Adam was born. All I wanted to do was sit and watch him sleep.
And look at his beautiful face. Enjoy every special moment. Lisa in Indianapolis.
PS – what a special time for you during Diwali.
Thank you so much, Lisa!! I’m enjoying every minute with my little man – I know this time will fly by! And happy Diwali!!
Such a great first family picture. Congratulations to you both – Tony is a little cutie. I always thought the first six weeks were the toughest because of all the work and little sleep but once you are rewarded with that first real smile all the tiredness vanishes. Enjoy this little one – they grow so fast.
Thank you, Roslyn!! We can’t wait to see his smile!! Enjoying every minute 🙂
Oh my god??? I just started following your blog and recipes!! You’re an amazing cook love your blogs and wish you so much happiness! Congrats on your bundle of joy and happy Diwali ?
Thanks, Cynthia!! 🙂 I’m so glad you found my blog!! Happy Diwali to you too!!
Beautiful family! 🙂
thank you!!
Beautiful baby. 🙂 Congratulations!
P. S. One piece of advice… that I never used and now, looking back, wish I had… SLEEP WHEN THE BABY SLEEPS!! It’s so tempting to try and get things done while they’re sleeping but get your rest.
Also… you look great! 🙂
Thank you, Kathy!! That’s good advice – it’s something I need to work on! ?
Congratulations to all of you! He is a beautiful baby boy!
Thanks so much, Connie!! 🙂
Congratulations! Beautiful family. Hopefully you will have some posts on baby food soon. Enjoy your little one. They grow up fast. My kid is now 13 and I miss the baby years.
Thank you so much!! I’ll be sure to enjoy every minute 🙂
Aww, what a beautiful family. congratulations Ashley on your handsome baby boy
Thank you!! 🙂
I am so happy for you and your husband! What a blessing! I pray many more blessings ahead for your family! 🙂
Thanks so much, Lois!! 🙂
