I have finally sat down to write an update on here. As I stated below, I have been really busy with school, this semester, I am taking a full load this summer; yes, I was crazy for doing it, but know I am getting closer to the end.
Ashleigh is doing great; she is learning new things everyday. She continues to love art; she can keep her self busy all day long {if I let her} just working on her art work. I think she will take after her Grammy, who has a special love and appreciation for art.
Ashleigh attended a week long gymnastics camp with her friend,Peyton, as well. This was really good for her because she stayed there from 12pm-5:30pm; it allowed her to mingle with other kids and experience being away from Mommy {other than being babysat by friends}. She did really well. I might sign her up for a 1 hr/1x a week gymnastics class; this is just a thought right now.
A lot of emotions hit me at the beginning of June when I suddenly realized {with the help of my friend, Diane} that Ashleigh will begin Preschool in August vs January; she will be going all day, all year. Florida changed their program to begin in August instead of January to reflect a full year instead of half a year. I had prepared myself for her to begin in January so needless to say, I was a bit overwhelmed and emotional. She will be entering the school system, which means that it is the beginning to her growing older. No longer do I have a toddler, I will now have a school girl. I cannot be more proud of my little girl; she is very smart and I look forward to watching her learn and grow.
Ashleigh spends a lot of time in the pool and playing with all of her
friends {now that they are off for the summer}. She is like a fish in the water.
Father's day was wonderful for Brian. Every year Ashleigh and Brian go swimming for Father's day; it is a tradition that we will keep. We also went to our neighbors for dinner; med. rare brandy and orange marinated steak and the fix-in's {Yummy}. We
{Ashleigh & I} got Brian some cooking stuff for his new outdoor grill.....{Oh,
have I not mentioned this, yet?} Brian is getting an outdoor kitchen; they have already st
arted and expect to be finished in a few weeks. He is so excited! He has been wanting to do this for years, and finally he gets his wish come true. I am so happy for him.
one of her favorite things to do with Daddy
Ashleigh with our loving MiMi; whom she adores.
She recently told her: "MiMi, you love everyone, don't you?"
Yep, she sure does.
Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention we went to t
he local bee farm for an educational experience for Ashleigh; of course, she loved it!
