“Do not talk to me, I’m in the bathroom!”
-Ashlyn
I smoked a brisket last weekend because it sounded like a fun thing to do. Since Mom didn’t want to eat brisket every night for a week, she talked Grandma, Grandpa, and Cousin Heidi into coming over Sunday night to help reduce the amount of cow on-hand. This made Ashlyn’s night and of course James took some time out of his busy schedule to grin for everyone.
This is Ashlyn in a box with her dolls. That is all.
We can’t help but add lots of pictures of the kids playing together, partly because those are the types of pictures that fill up our camera, but mostly because they are the pictures that make us smile.
Most of the time, Ashlyn likes to make Baby James laugh. Sometimes, it’s the other way around.
Ashlyn is doing better at the big girl gymnastics class. She’s still shy at first and wants mom or dad to stay down with her during warm-up, but this weekend she told me to go upstairs to the window as soon as warm-up was done. She had fun in the class with the other kids, and continued to practice head stands once she got back home.
On Sunday we attended the Baptism of Baby Ben. It was a short ceremony, which was a good thing since it was held during nap time. But the kid’s did ok and there were no breakdowns until the ride home. Baby Ben, who had water put on his head, seemed fine with the proceedings whereas Ashlyn cried on the way home because she wanted a hamburger.
Oh, the joys of children.
