So it's been a bit of a bittersweet 9 or so days.  Big Mama and Big Bob came to visit, and we had a great time!  They love hanging out with Ashley...and seriously, it's not the baby that gets spoiled, it's the Mama!  They did laundry, cooked meals, fed Ashley, bathed her, brought her clothes and toys...and I was able to work and get lots of things completed that I hadn't been able to get to! 

 

This morning, however, after a long struggle, Jonathan's grandma Mamie passed away.  She was 97.  The funeral is on Friday, and while I know she is in a better place and getting to see her husband and loved ones she hasn't been with for a very long time, I still feel so much for Jonathan's mom, aunts, and uncle.  She will be missed.

Took a short break!

I haven't been able to sit down and write anything for some time, but I have a minute right now so here goes!
All is well in the White household...Jonathan finally returned from his fire assignment and we are settled back in...he couldn't believe the changes in Ashley!  He's working hard right now, from about 7-6:30 every day, 6 days a week, but it should slow down soon, I hope!
Ashley and I are gearing up for our trip to Seattle!  We are going on the 3rd to visit Aunt Meagan and Uncle Jeff and Gracie Mae!  I am so excited to meet their baby and just spend time with my friend.  While there I am also throwing a shower with Sheila for Jonathan's cousin Keely, and we're going to her wedding.  Since Jonathan can't go Meagan is my date!
Ashley is working hard to bust through her top four teeth.  Poor thing, last night she just needed a cuddle so she could go back to sleep with the pain.  I feel so bad for her!

After the longest roll EVER (I think because Ashley is changing SO quickly), Dada's home!  That was her new word as of Thursday...her first word!

Big Mama's Birthday Video, August 17, 2011

Since Blogger won't recognize Ashley's birthday video for Big Mama, here it is!


I can't get Blogger to find Ashley's birthday video to my mom...for some reason it's not updating my new videos.  So, I finally just put the link up!  It's cute, but Ashley's cute, so are you really surprised?
