Time Flies When You're Having Fun

We ARE having fun, right?

WOW.... I looked at the calendar this morning and all of the sudden it's Feb 20th...how did that happen? Things have been moving fast and furious around here now that all the sickness has left the house. We're back on a more normal schedule and looking forward to SPRING!

Between potty training Annalyse, Dr appointments with Ashley, and school things with the older two, the blog has not been feeling some love! I know I promised the new one would be up this week....did I mention that I can't believe it's Feb. 20th? Yeah, it'll happen one day soon :)

We spent two days in Atlanta last week and Ashley checked out just PERFECT! The Dr up there isn't even sure what she had on her back was Spina Bifida. As I try to process that and the amazing, overwhelming blessing that is...words fail me. Only God.

Ashley continues to adjust great...instead of having bad days, she's only having bad "moments" now. She has a lot to go in the area of Annalyse...she simply cannot STAND me to hold or love on Annalyse. She has no problem with Avery and Ally, but Annalyse is her rival. I am constantly taking it to the Lord in prayer and asking Him to give them a special bond. I have faith it will come, I know it just takes time. Annalyse, poor thing, has really no problem with Ashley, but she's used to sharing her mama, and trusts me and my love for her. She is confident in her place in our family. Ashley is not. How long will it take? Who knows. It will come, and she really has made leaps and bounds since we've had her.

Wanted to share a quick video of Ash eating her first Popsicle! She has "tasted and seen that American food is good!" She can put down some Mexican, and loves just about all we put in front of her. She's saying about 10 words now, and yesterday, when Elmo came on, I heard her say" na na na na...na na na na" to the "Elmos' world" song!!!!

Good to see a post from you, girl. No doubt, you guys are busy with those 4 little ones! :)

Praise the Lord for the good report from Ashley's doctor's appointment! I will be praying specifically for that bond, between Ashley and Annalyse. It will come.

LOVE the video. :)

Hi Emily,
Don't know if you remember us from the other travel group or not...we're from MN with the Bjorlins! We too, are having "issues" between our youngest son (4 in April) and Bethany (3 this past December). They are CONSTANTLY competing, antagonizing, tattling, fighting, and terrorizing each other. It's so hard trying to give them each what they need! I will be praying for you and your girls as they get to know and love each other! You know, in the end they will be the best of friends! Oh yeah - Tell Jay we just (finally) watched Fireproof tonight - and loved it!! Take care,
Becky Hay in MN :)

That's my Lyse, the popsicle queen! It won't take long for Ashley to be as "addicted" to popsicles as Lyse is! Just wait 'til the summer! Nammy loves you guys!
