So last week my friend Lindsey came over and brought Slurpees. She gave them to the kids, who had never had them before, and they just started giggling. They totally loved them! They wouldn't let go, even as they climbed the ladder and went down the slide, they were not about the let go!
Here is Will feeding Alice hers!

As many of you know, Ashley loved doing the little fused bead things. It was one of her favorite crafts. We have so many, which I totally love. Well a couple of weeks ago, I visited Sadie Huish, our brave little 6 yr. old friend fighting the same brain tumor as Ashley. The first time we met Sadie we gave her a container of these beads, telling her how much Ashley loved to do them. Well when I was about to leave she gave me a very special gift, she made a beautiful heart that she wanted me to take to Ashley's grave. What a sweetheart! Thanks Sadie! I know Ashley loves it!

One of Alice's new obsessions............... swinging!
She points outside and says whee whee, because as she is swinging I will say to her, whee.......whee. Funny!
I think she is also becoming obsessed with her giraffe. We have always kept it in her crib, and all of the sudden she has to hold it when she is going to bed. Just look at how tight her grip on it is!
And thank you to my wonderful sis-in-law Suzanne, for the new blog page.
You are so talented!

Em- I haven't visited your site in a while! Alice is so big! I can't believe how fast kids grow. You sound like you are doing wonderful!
Cute pictures!! I love the flowers on Ashley's grave.. So so pretty!! LEt's do the slurpees again soon!!
Oh those blasted swings!!! I admit that I HATE them. My kids can swing for hours. I get sick on them now when I try to swing...is that a sign that I am getting old?
Can't wait to see that adorable little girl. She is too cute! Love you!
LOve the new blog look. Yes, that is too funny- Alice gripping the giraffe as she sleeps. Ashley's grave is beautiful.
Alice is a sweetheart. You better not be letting her share slurpees with other men. Zach would be so offended. Ashley was pretty good with those beads. My girls just throw them on. That butterfly is gorgeous. I am sure that Ashley loves it too. See you tomorrow.
Thanks Em. Sorry, China just gave us access to blogs... argh! We've been blogless for almost a month. Anyway, I LOVE seeing the pictures of your family and seeing your little Alice in her little cute outfits... and bracelets on each wrist that you made her (just like her big sis!). Miss you guys terribly!
PS. We still have Ash's little bead designs, totally creative like her mom!
