Ashley's Preschool Graduation

My 1st video attempt - Ashley's class singing!

Ashley has made it thru her 1st year of Preschool!!! I remember dreading even taking her at the beginning of the year - of course there were lots and lots of tears (OK that was only me!). She has had a great time - looking forward to every day she went. I'm so proud of her and everything that she has learned this year!!

Ashley is 4 years old!!

How in the world did this happen so fast??

I so remember the day she was born and for the life of me cannot comprehend that it has been 4 years. I am so proud of her! She is such a sweet, kind, beautiful, smart, funny, (ok I could probably go on for hours!!) Ashley has had such a busy year - each day she has some new phrase or funny comment. She started preschool this year and she is really doing well. We also started her in dance - I think she loves the outfit more then the class - but who can blame her. It is really great to see how nice she is with Hailey - even when she doesn't really want to be. I love the fact that she is a "big girl" but will still want to cuddle in my lap!! She is and always will be my Little Ashley booboo - just ask her!!

We had a birthday party for her this past weekend - Tinkerbell!! She was very excited and thrilled when she saw all the decorations and presents! It was a great time - we even dared to have a pinata!! It was the first thing she asked for - of course the thought of it and the reality is pretty different. My little petite girl tried to hit that thing - but at last daddy came to the rescue!!

New Party dress!! Thank you Freddie!

Sad, Sad Tears

As most of you have seen - Stellen is doing really well - which is such a miracle. From the times I visited his blog, I also ran into the blog about little Kayleigh's story. http://www.kayleighannefreeman.blogspot.com/ I didn't see it until after her last surgery which had a traumatic outcome. This couples little girl was born at just 1lb.!!! She made it thru so very much and was a miracle in the short time she was with her family. Her family is amazing!! Unfortunately her battle came to an end and this poor, poor family was never even able to take her home to the wonderful room they made for her. My heart just breaks everytime I think about how heavy their hearts must be. I wish all the strength possible to this family and pray they make it thru this time!
We all need to be thankful for all of our healthy kids, family, and friends!!
