More Pictures

just a taste

Here is just a little sample of the pictures yet to come.

I love how a great photographer + a great camera can make you feel pretty fantastic.
See?
Wow, I have such cute kids!

Trying to keep up

Since I have no intention of showing you how I'm not succeeding very well at keeping up with my house, I'll post pictures (which incidentally I have to keep up with as I send pictures to Ashley's birthmother - one of the plus sides to adoption!).

Ashley loves to have her hands up by her face (Izzy did too, it's so cute!).

Two friends gave me cute big bows for her, they are almost as big as her.

Ryan wanted to snuggle Ashley at bedtime, he fell right to sleep - it was delightful!

Cousin fun at the 3rd of July campout!

Pictures

It's funny, I look at these pictures which were mostly taken within the last week and I think, "Wow, she has changed!"
Things are going great, she is such a pleasant, happy baby (mostly) we are just so happy to have her here.
However, I'm not going to lie, it's 9:00 am and I'm wondering if I can go back to bed...I'm so tired.
