It's been a while since I have posted. Sorry. :( I have been a little busy. I have a lot to blog about; however, I will try and make it short.
First off, Ashleigh began preschool on the 24th of August. She is thoroughly enjoying it thus far. Her teacher and teacher's assistant are really great and I feel God blessed us with them. I was really worried how Ashleigh would react to this change; however, Mrs.Tyre & Mrs.Massa {the later is the teacher's assistant} has made it such a pleasant transition and really took Ashleigh by the hand from the first day. The first week she was doing ok with being dropped,. By the 2nd week, she was running to the door when Mrs.Tyre came out to retrieve the students from their parents. What a relief it is for a Mommy that was so concerned that she would have a level of seperation anxiety. So, in a nutshell, Ashleigh is doing really great in preschool; in Florida we call it VPK.
To get the year started off right, I decided to throw a VPK "Get to know eachother" swimimmg party. It was really nice; however, only 4 children showed up. Brian made hot dogs on the grill for the women and children and saugege links for the men. LOL. Everyone had a great time and Ashleigh was able to bond with her friends, Natalia and Liam. She mostly liked Liams baby sister, Lilly; she would not leave her side, and Lilly loved the attention, I am sure.
Tonight we finished her first at home " family project", which was a gingerbread man. The instructions read something like this: Here is a cut out of the gingerbread man, you may decorate how you would like, or use it as a template. We chose to make a stuffed gingerbread man. So, off to the store we went.....$43.00 later we have all the supplies. We {Ashleigh and myself} decorate it and stuff it and then Brian sews it up. Whala! See the picture for the final product.

And finally, Ashleigh and her Gingerbread Man project; she is so proud of him! Great Job, Baby.
