Thanksgiving Memories

(Ryan's Turkey)

Well I think we can officially say Ashley is walking! She can stay up on her feet walking from the living room to the kitchen. So now our lives change once again as she gains speed!!! We had to go to the doctor for a really yucky cough and nose...more medicine :) She nows weighs in at 22 lbs 11.5 oz

We spent the afternoon at Kathy's parents house. This is the first time Ashley has been there since she has been so mobile. Without a second thought she was able to master climbing the stairs in record speed! It was amazing how she climbed them like she had always been around them. She even managed to be very sneeky and get almost all the way up before anyone noticed.

Ashley has acquired a liking for mashed potatoes. She had a great time putting her fingers all over the tray and all over her face. It was cute and funny until she decided to wipe her eyes! Then we had lots of tears and a huge mess to clean up!

We were able to catch Ashley playing a new peek-a-boo game behind the curtains. It is so cute! Please enjoy! :)

Exploring and Growing!

Ashley has been entertaining herself with going through the cabinets! She loves to empty it out onto the floor. She had a real good time trying to clean up with the trash bags! :)

Video Clip

Ashley has found a new way of getting from one place to another if she is carrying something in her hands...Knee Walking! It is the cutest and funniest thing to watch. We were able to catch a little of it on video.

Although it does not seem like she has much hair...it really is growing! I made it stand up when she was in the bath. Daddy calls her "little shark girl"!

Carter is home, Sean is home too!

Just read on Carter's guest book, that Chelle's Aunt said Carter went home on Monday and is ok. Sean also made it home from the long road trip from Boston.

Thank you Lord for bringing both home safe!

Our Little Pumpkin

We took some pictures of Ashley and the pumkins in the backyard. She thought it was cool to be outside and touching the pumpkins.

There is actually a pretty good picture of Mommy and Ashley! It is rare to see a picture of the two of us!! Thanks Daddy for taking it! :)
