Carter is officially back in town!!!

I just got back from the airport, pics to come later tonight when I get home.

Carter and Chelle are back in town! Welcome Home Carter!!!

Every news channel was out there so be sure to tune in tonight! Ch 11 did a big interview with Carters Grandma and they even walked over interviewed me for a bit (Billy). Not sure if they'll show my small part or not and how much of a dork I'll look like :)

But Thank you Lord for bringing Carter and Chelle back home!!! Please remember to pray for Sean as he is driving all the way back!

Party time soon hopefully!!!

What a BUSY 3 weeks it has been!

Too Cute...Our little Nun!

Ashley has been offically home for 1 year today! And what a Great year it has been!!!

Sorry for the delay in posting on our blog. Our house has been passing colds around for the last month! I think everyone is better except Mommy! Ashley had a reaction to her vaccines with a rash and fever! We made 5 trips to the doctor in a month for Ashley! I knew that with her going to school this year that she would be sick...but 5 TRIPS! I asked about the frequent flyer club and if after the 10th visit, it is free! Sounds good to me! :) Ashley got to be on her 1st round of antibiotics...she actually likes to take medicine so it was pretty easy.

Ashley has discovered that she can stand on toys to get a better view of what is on the other side of the fence! :) We are in trouble!!!!!!!! She has also found that she dislikes certain textures of food. When this happens it quickly rolls out her mouth and down her chest...quite a sight to see! She also doesn't like chocolate chip cookies...Daddy found out the hard way! She has accquired a taste for wood as seen on the evidence of her crib!

Hey Look At Me!

Doesn't that look tasty!

Our little Beaver!

Tonight Ashley actually took 2 to 3 steps on her own from Mommy to Daddy and back again. With lots of cheering going on, Ashley was very proud of herself!

Tasting Whole Milk for the 1st time

She went for her 1 year check up on Thursday. She got a clean bill of health. Her stats are as follows: Weight = 20lbs 12.5 oz (43%) Height = 30 in. (79%) Head = 46.5 cm (87%). The doctor was very happy with how well she is doing. The only thing to work on is the talking because she is still not saying Mama or Dada. We get alot of gagagaga gagagaga!

Ashley got to taste her first glass of milk today. She seemed to like it. She also enjoyed hitting the sippy cup on the high chair! She really likes to hit things together to make loud noises!

Mouth Full of Milk

Hey I think I like this :)

You want some????

Happy Bday Ashley Part 2!

Ashley had a wonderful time tonight and got a few new toys, clothes and got to eat some cake!!! Here are some pictures as well as some video's, some of which might take a few to load. The only downside to tonight was towards the end Ashley was obviously getting tired and not able to stand as long. Well she fell down and gave herself a nice little bruise under one of her eyes!!! No pictures of that yet as we tended to her, saw family out and put her to bed. Hopefully it will be very little or gone by morning! Anyways, enjoy the pics and videos!

The first video is this morning when I went to wake up Ashley for the day!




Daddy it's too early!!!














Ok I guess I'll wake up!

This was me this morning in my birthday outfit that Mommy and Daddy bought me!

Messy and Loving it!!!















So here's a new toy of mine, after being cleaned up from my Cake time!















So there you have it, some small samples of Ashley's 1st Birthday! I'm sure we'll post more later but it's been a long day!
