Update!

So much has happened since the last post. The big ones are Ashlie's 4th Birthday, and Tony's promotion to road patrol officer from animal control at the police department. Tony was sworn into his position on December 16. It was really neat to see him up there, fullfilling his goal. I am very proud of him and love him so much. He is such a wonderful father and husband, doing all that he can so that I can stay home and take care of the kids.

Ashlie's birthday party was a hit. She had some of her friends over for cake, games, and gifts. Well, the games did not really make it, the girls just wanted to play in Ash's room. But it was a good time for all. I love Ashlie so much. She brings me so much happiness and silliness! She is so fun to dance around with, read with, go shopping with, and just be with. I am so blessed to have this sweet daughter as mine!

Dad came for a visit the beginning of December. It had almost been 2 years since seeing him, and I was soooo happy to see him, as were the kids. They are so curious about this Minnesota Grandpa! I cry like a little girl whenever Dad goes home, Tony thinks I am nuts. But I truly miss him, and am always so thankful to spend time together.

We have also had Christmas and the Sparks here for a visit. I will do a Christmas post later.

So life is good and we are always moving forward. Maxxwell is coming along, he is really a Mama's boy, let's leave it at that. I have chilled out about trying to get him on a schedule and being so structured. Going with the flow is less stress for all! Love to all!
