I can't believe it's been since October since I've posted on here! But, then again, that is about when we started with the non-stop madness that is our holiday season!
We have had lots of fun it the midst of all the craziness...Ashlyn's birthday, Christmakkah, Colson's birthday and, today, Colson's 1st kids birthday party (at Chuck E. Cheese's!). There will definitely be some pictures from all of the various adventures...just not tonight. Tonight there will be an early bedtime!!!

October
Here are some of our recent pics with Muy and Loco. It's been muy loco around here lately. We have been preparing for our big Halloween Open House this Saturday night. Colson and I have done some fun Halloween crafts and decorated the house with them. Ashlyn, Colson and Steve have worked hard carving the "pum-peens"...as Ashlyn says!
The goal was to get through all the party prep this week - I was hoping to get most of it out of the way while the kids were at school. But, Ashlyn got her second sinus infection (in the past month or so) and Colson had a bit of a cold. Colson headed back to school today, while Ashlyn headed back to the doctor's office! I noticed red dots on her and didn't want to take any chances after the penicillin hives. It turns out she had roseola on top of the sinus infection. Ah, new at school with all the little kid germs! Happily, once the rash from the roseola shows up, the worst is done. So, no more 104.3 degree fever like she woke up with on Monday morning! Thank goodness!
Colson the ham, in a pose
This is what the sinus infection/roseola did to her. She fell asleep in the chair while they were watching their new favorite show, "Super Why"
A girl and her Jiggy. SERIOUS breakdowns this week when Ashlyn didn't feel good and Jiggy was not immediately available. Little doesn't care about work schedules!
We're trying to not be too concerned with the glowing eyes! I'm thinking about having Steve photoshop Ryza in to this one. Shut up.
2008 holiday photo card preview! Jiggy got Colson and Ashlyn holiday outfits months ago. I decided to play dress-up with Ashlyn to see if the dress was fitting now. It goes with white bloomers underneath - not the Elmo pajama bottoms she has on here. And, we'll take the tag off by holiday time!
I will not smile for your picture!
Cute baby!
Trying to get her Daddy to flip her
Super lady-like!
Still playing!
This is what she was hoping for!
Seriously will have to put this dress with some hair bows that match. And, ditch the "dink-day" from the mouth!
Always wanting to play together!
Darling - even when she's trying to pout
Ever the ham!
Little in her hand-me-down shorts and her new Halloween tee!

Ashlyn catches lunch!
Here are some pictures (thank you, Grandpa!) from our trip to the river. These are shot we didn't get on our camera. Ashlyn Storm - fisher-girl! She doesn't look too sure of the fish, but she kept saying, "Whoa!" And, our one group picture - taken just before we headed home.

Long time, no posts!
Just checking in here and noticed that it was July when I last posted! Time flies! We've been fairly non-stop here. I had a quick trip to Cincinnati for Lisa & Tyler's wedding. Then, all four of us went to Wellesley Island to visit Grandpa and GG. The kids had a ball entertaining the crowd in NY. Ashlyn didn't even care if she had a crowd watching her as she went into her song and dance routine - always finishing with a "bow" of course! Both kids got some boat and fishing time. Colson even got some jet skiing time with his Daddy!
We do have several pictures to share - unfortunately, just too wiped at the moment to get them on here! I'm hoping those will get organized at some point this week. For now, we are focusing on getting ready for Ashlyn's big event - starting school on Wednesday! She'll only be going part time, like Colson, but that's still pretty big news in our lives! We're hoping she'll adjust to it all quickly...though I may be sitting in the hallway of the school crying. I'm just trying to remind myself that I can offer a lot of things as a SAHM - just not the interaction with a group of little kids!
So, wish us luck and check back for some pictures. Good night for now!
