Catch-up

I'm behind on blog posts, here's a quick update 

We went to fredricksburg in September for a fun weekend away 

Happy 3rd birthday

Ashley's Almost 3

Again, I know I say this all the time, but how is it possible that our little baby is almost 3 years old? We've had a really busy year, moving and getting settled into our new house. Over the year, Ashley has continued to amaze us with her growth and development. Her Spanish and English words continue to expand.. and she's started singing her favorite songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and her "ABC's."  She also mastered potty training in June of this year over just a few days. She loves watching Baby Snuffy on the big screen upstairs and shakes the whole house when she dances along. She still continues to establish her independence by throwing tempter tantrums but overall she's still really good for almost 3.

She LOVES Popsicles, ice cream and her iPAD. Of course, she keeps Scooby on his toes too. He's 14 now, so we're hoping he makes hangs on and make it a few more years with our family.  I guess we have one more year before she goes to Pre-school... Wow, time flies. I wish we could slow it down. We'll enjoy every second of it with our precious girl.

We are slowing moving along with our remodeling in the new house. Here's the before and after of our kitchen cabinet transformation:

What happened to my little baby??

Grammy

My mom had a "routine" gallbladder surgery with no issues and went home after about an hour in recovery. However, two days later she was in the ER with serious pain. She spent about 4 days in the hospital and they finally determined she had a leaking bile duct 😝thank GOD they were able to fix it and she is at home now. The recovery is going slow but she is  getting a little better everyday. Love you mom!!

Whiterock Lake

I had a great run today around whiterock lake with a few of my running buddies. There's nothing like doing a loop around the lake in cool weather. 

Our Big Girl

Ashley is 2.5 already and is talking up a storm in both English and Spanish. If we call her name, she often responds "what". Really??? :) 

She's been a big help getting the house ready to sell. We pack a box, and she proceeds to unpack it. 

It's been really bitter sweet as we go through this process. We sold her high chair and packed up the pack-and-play. 

The Laclette's are MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess who is finally moving????????!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I don't jinx us, but we finally have a contract on a house! We won't be moving in until late May, but we are super excited and can't wait.
