The Teen Years and More...

It is starting already. The teen years are upon us. Not really, but that's how I feel when I am around one of my daughters. The scowling, sometimes screaming and screeching, storming off and slamming doors in my face. And the drama!! I can only imagine what the teen years will hold for us all. And raising Jenna isn't easy either...

That's right. It's all this little monster:

Ah, yes. The classic Ashley look.
Wassup? I'm getting my first tooth. Oh, and I have my own ride.
This picture was taken last week. After borrowing a baby float from the lost and found (because ours was taken out of the Family Truckster and not put back in) and a hostile take over of Jenna's Ariel Little Mermaid toy......Ashley decided she needed to rest and be fed Cheerios. What a hard life!
I love her in her little bathrobe from Beth. She is so cute in it and we think it will still fit when she starts walking. She looks like the Sand People from "Star Wars."
The surgery for Ashley is early Thursday morning. Please remember us, Ash, and the doctors and nurses who will be taking care of her. It will be outpatient so we should be home later in the day. Jenna will be staying with my parents overnight tomorrow night and the day of the surgery. We are all handling it well so far so I hope that continues.
