Ashley Dancing at the Restaurant

Some Pictures of Our Trip to DC

Last month ,we went down to DC to visit Laurie and Andrew. We spent friday and saturday night there. Laurie and Andrew watched Ashley while we went to the temple Saturday morning. Then we spent the afternoon at the playground. In the evening, we took the subway to dinner at a little mexican restaurant (by Ashley's choice - it was between the italian place or the mexican place and when asked whether she wanted quesadilla's or pasta, she enthusiasticall responded "quesadilla's"). Ashley enjoyed dancing to the fun music in the restaurant. She kept us well entertained with her dancing and other antics such as yelling "I got milk on my booty" at the subway station. (it was actually just a leaky diaper - not milk)

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam - December 2006

"Jesus wants me for a sunbeam,

to shine for him each day.

In every way try to please him

at home, at school, at play.

A sunbeam! A sunbeam!

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam!

A sunbeam! A sunbeam!

I'll be a sunbeam for him!"

Our House Before and After Pictures

Here are some pictures to give you an idea of some of the projects we have been working on around the house. A lot of it is still a work in progress, but for the most part, our living room and dining room have really come together. We took down the popcorn ceiling, tore up the carpet - stained the floors dark to hide pet stains, closed in the windows to be more homey (which you can't really see in the pictures) and we will be putting up new trim. Wow, when you list it out like that, it doesn't sound like we did all that much, but it has taken a long time and it feels good to have a living room and dining room that doesn't look like it's under construction anymore.
