So Miss Ashley is doing the "weird" crawling thing... she has been so close for a while now. However earlier this week she has crawled a few times. Here was one of the times I documented that occurance! Regardless she is mobile, she gets whatever she wants to get!
Off I go...
on the move...
" really Mom stop taking my picture"
"well if your going to be that way, I am just going to sit and laugh at you!"
My dear friend Abby was home from TX this past week so we got together for a "girls night out" with her sisters & friends. I made a platter that I thought would be cute for the girls to use on their B-days! It turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself!
Erin almost 5, Ashley 8 months
Although "vacation" time is pretty limited this year because I used all my time for Maternity Leave, we managed to sneak up to Michigan in June this year for a little family vacation. It was lovely but cooler than we are use to. Then again this whole Summer has been cooler than normal. Also I thought I lost my camera while fishing one day, so not too many pictures were taken and we thought the ones I had taken were gone. However come to find out, camera not lost but just in Ed's backpack...we found it 2 weeks after being home from vacation. So below are a few shots taken at the beginning of the trip! 
Miss Ashley just chewing on her hand (imagine that!)
