Little Ladies

Long time no blog. Shawn was in DC all last week and he took our laptop with him. I didn't know what to do without the Internet all last week! Last weekend Emily and Anna came to hang out with Ashley and I while the boys were in DC golfing. Well we had quite a good time, well that is after Ashley decided that she could share. The first couple hours were a little tough. Ashley was not very excited about sharing. But after some outdoor play they were best buds. They both carried their matching Abby Cadabby's around all weekend, but the cutest might have been both of them in their matching car seats and big hats in the back of my accord!

Happy Father's Day

What a difference a year makes. Last year Ashley was still so little at Father's day and this year she is running circles around our house and talking up a storm! I think Shawn had a pretty nice father's day. We had a picnic lunch, he watched golf all day and then we went to an Italian restaurant he has been wanting to try. (but it wasn't very good!)

Things still haven't really settled down yet here. We have been looking at houses, Shawn has been traveling to DC and I have been swamped at my new job as I prepare to take over my first project. But, after this week (and Shawn being gone all week) the trips to DC should be done, Shawn starts his new job next Monday. The house hunt/project will go on for awhile I assume, but for now I am loving apartment life. It is wonderful. No baby gates, no home repairs or projects and a fantastic pool to enjoy!

Everybody Needs An Izzy

When it is time to go get Ashley up in the mornings or after her nap Izzy is generally the first person in the room. Now, why oh why Izzy would want Ashley to be awake is beyond me. You would think that Izzy would enjoy the time when Ashley is asleep so that there is no one chasing her around the apartment. But no, she must secretly love it. So, I say everybody needs an Izzy, part Schnauzer, part Sheltie, a whole lot o'crazy! So seriously, everybody needs an Izzy and if anyone would like this one... you know how to reach us.... ; )


And in case anyone was wondering, Izzy was placed in the crib. She can jump high but not that high and that is a yawn, Izzy's don't know how to growl!

Crazy Woman

Ashley is just a crazy woman these days! Here she is with her baby, she loves her baby and is constantly say "my baby" if anyone else touches her.

Ashley starts her new daycare here in the burg on Monday, little do they know what they are in store for!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For

ICE CREAM!! Well, everyone knows that Shawn and I are those mean parents who don't let their child have any sweets or fried foods or anything else like that. But, on Memorial Day we decided to stop and get ice cream. So when we got home I put a little bit of my vanilla ice cream from my cone into her little bowl. She seemed to like it... But, these are not the most flattering pictures, this was after we had been to the pool but before the bath!

One Hot Chick

Now that things have calmed down a bit i can get back to blogging! The beauty of apartment life is the fantastic pool that our community has. Memorial Day weekend Ashley got to try out her new bathing suit! And even though she is super skinny she has the cutest little fat roll on her thigh. I wish my fat rolls were as cute as hers!

I am a little lonely tonight, Shawn and Ashley went to DC today and won't be back till Wednesday. Shawn is meeting our tenants who move into our townhouse on June 15th to sign the lease and Ashley is going to go see Dr Halpin 1 last time for her 18month check up. So it is just me and my 2 faithful fur-ball companions!
