Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!  This is Ashley’s first Halloween!  It was unusually hot today, so we decided to go for our first walk as a family.  I pushed Ashley in her stroller and Van walked the boys.  The boys wore their Halloween bandanas and Ashley was in an orange onesie.  I always thought it would be fun [...]

 

 

2 Weeks Old

Ashley is 2 weeks old today!  I see her personality coming out each and every day.  She is so funny!   She makes all sorts of funny faces.  She is opening her eyes and is more alert now.  She can’t focus yet, but you can tell that she is trying.  She loves being taken to different [...]

I’ve been sick since last Thursday, so going on a week now. Congestion, cough, sinus pressure, all the yucky stuff. Can barely even sleep [...]
