Introducting "ASK"

Introducing
"ASK"

Born December 17, 2011

Weighing 7 lbs, 14 oz

 measuring 20 and 1/2 inches long

Little "Rew Rew" (as Monkey has named him) has filled our lives with joy and we are so proud to have him be in our family.  'A' is the best big sister.  She loves to quiet him when he is crying and to play with him when he is awake.  She gets so excited when her baby brother smiles at her.

And we are blessed to have such an easy baby.  He usually only fusses when he is ready for a nap or when he is hungry.  Otherwise, he is a laid back little guy; happy to play on his mat or sit in his swing or make smiley faces Mommy, Daddy, and Sissy.

We are truly in love!!

3 years... Have you missed me?

So, the short story is... I forgot my blog address...Again. Then I forgot my email that was linked to my blog... Then I forgot my password that was connected to my email.. Needless to say, it took me a while to figure out where I had left my life... online that is.

So here we are... 3 years later with 1 extra peanut and 1 extra dog.  I will try to fill in the missing pieces as best I can; however, as a disclaimer.. If I can't remember where I PUT my blog, it might be impossible for me to remember the details of my life as well.  That's why my motto is "live in the moment" and "enjoy every second", because if it happened yesterday, I may not remember it... :o)

Ha ha!!  Enjoy catching up with us.. I will try to post pictures too...

Our Silly Girl...

The Sad Face...

Gimme a kiss...


Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

What am I up to???

We were getting ready to go play in the snow and 'A' decided to make some silly faces before we went outside...

'A' had a fun day playing in the leaves...

'A' playing piano with Daddy...

I'm SO bad at this!!!

Yikes! It's already May and I still haven't posted any new pics. Okay, I'm going to keep it short and post some pics right now. We are doing better than ever! We finally have had an answer to prayer. God has answered not in the way we were expecting, but He has lifted a huge burden off of our shoulders. We have leased our other house and we have a contract to sell by next April!! Hooray!!!! God was watching out for us for sure; the contract is signed for a larger amount than what we were originally going to get for the house and, in the meantime, we are getting more in rent each month than the mortgage, so we are actually making a little extra cash. So, now we are officially "Cottontownians". Avery is doing great! She amazes us every day! She can now count to 10, say her ABCs, identify "A" for Avery, and she can even tell a couple of jokes. I can't believe how fast she is changing and growing, but we are so proud of her and her accomplishments. Anyway... this ended up much longer than I intended, so I'll stop typing and start adding pics.... Love to you all!

keeping up with promises...

Ah mi,

So, to make a long story short... I forgot my blog address... Then, I forgot my password to login.  Finally, we are back on track.  And I'm starting to figure out some ways to make this more of a fun thing to do (thanks to a talk with my friend, Jenny).  I have taken lots of new pics of 'A' in the past few weeks, so I will try to post some soon.  Gotta run; I promised the wee-nut we would take our four-legged buddy for a walk.

Ciao!
