While wifey is away...

The big boy plays...
I had to laugh a little when Derek sent me this picture of himself and what he's been up to in Philadelphia while we are here in Arizona. I guess when there is no one to tell you no and keep away the kisses, this is what you do!
I actually think it looks better than I would have expected, not that I'm requesting this style any time soon.

Ashlyn Turns 3

It is hard to believe that it has already been three years that we have been able to enjoy our sweet little Ashlyn. She is truly a joy. She is so full of energy and love for life. She is happy and has the cutest little voice and laugh. This year we were able to spend her birthday with some friends and family and it was quiet and nice. She had no requests for her cake, so she got a simple flower - bur she loved it so all is well. She loves her gifts: makeup, a purse, a leotard, a baby that cries, jewelry, a journal and a cute little princess book. Her cousins spoiled her this year. Ashlyn continues to grow and is learning well. She starts preschool next week, has conquered her regression in potty training (95%) and weighs in at 28 pounds. She continues to active and loud. She is very sensitive to others' feelings, wants to be big when it is convenient only and loves to sing. We love our Ashlyn!
