LadyBug Girl

Ashlyn has always been our little ladybug. It's been our nickname for her since she was a baby. She even had a ladybug themed baby shower just a few weeks after she was born. Recently we discovered a book at Barnes and Noble called Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy. She loved it!

This girl in the story dresses up like a ladybug. Right up Ashlyn's alley! She has dress up on every day! Another thing Ashlyn loves is any craft. She's always painting or making something out of paper and glue. She came down one day after reading this book dressed in her own ladybug girl costume.

Fun Lake Weekend...

We had the opportunity to accompany the Morales' to their family's lake house over the weekend. We were all looking forward to it. Craig and I spent a lot of time on the lake with friends before moving to NC over 10 years ago, but this was one of only a handful of times since. We love the lake!

Unfortunately, Craig was sick the entire week leading up to the lake trip and stayed home. He ended up having an ear infection and respiratory infection. Poor guy!

We had a great time with our friends. The girls loved the lake. Kiley preferred to be riding ON the boat or swimming. She didn't like the bumpy and roughness of the water. Ashlyn LOVED it! We also got to know the Monstrola's. Desiree has celiac and has been on a gluten free diet for over 5 years, so the timing was great. She was able to give me lots of good information to help with Ashlyn's issues.
