One Friday we took the train into the city together as a family, and we went to Central Park for the first time. We had a really good time! Ashlyn sang songs about choo choo trains the whole way to the city… and she loved the train and the subway! Central Park was gorgeous of course! Ashlyn loved the fountain and the boats.. she also loved all of the horse drawn carriages and the group of swing dancers that we ran into. We only had enough time to see a small part of the park… it is HUGE! We will have to go back again soon, we can’t wait to go to the zoo.
Our Trip to the Arboretum with Bill and Margaret! November 8, 2008
We went to visit the Arboretum while Bill and Margaret were in town… gorgeous! Here are some pictures… Long Island is so beautiful! It was so fun to have Bill and Margaret come to town, we had a blast! It had been way too long since we had seen them last, it was so good to see them! We miss them!
Ashlyn’s Two!!! November 8, 2008
Well… our baby girl is growing up… and it is freaking me out! How can she be two?!? It is crazy. She is the biggest blessing we have ever been given… and I never want to take that for granted. She is an incredible gift from God!
We had two birthday parties this year… one before we moved so that we could celebrate with my family, and then we had one on her birthday with Brett’s parents. Her first party was a Pooh party, the second was Minnie Mouse… and both were a blast! Ashlyn made out like a bandit for her birthday… thank you friends and family! She loved her gifts! She got a play kitchen with dishes and a grocery cart… so she pretends to shop and cook all of the time… cracks us up. She makes us cookies everyday.
Ashlyn can now sing the Birthday song… I should have recorded it and put it on here… I will have to do that! Anyway… Happy Birthday my sweet girl. You are the best!
