Ashton - Five Year Picture

Today Ashton went for her five year picture. She spent the whole day with Mom. First they got her nails done, then they went to get her hair done, then it was off to the photographer. Later in the day Zachary asked if we had to pay the photographer to take her picture. Zena answered, Yes, we have to pay for pictures. Zachary responded that he didn't know why we would want to do that. Then Zena asked him didn't he like to look at pictures and he said yes, but he didn't think we should have to pay for them. Zena then said that she enjoy looking at pictures of her beautiful children and Ashton chimed in..."and handsome children"! Zachary then said, "That would be ME!"

At any rate, when I came home from work, Ashton still had her hair done for the most part. So I decided to take a few pictures...83 in all! I thought this one turned out the best. We will see what the real photographer came away with soon!

1st Day of School

Okay, because of Tropical Storm Fay we really seemed to have had two first days of school! But we got a few pictures somewhere around the start of school. The kids are all doing well with adjusting to school. Ashton did wake the first day and looked around in her darkened room and say "It doesn't look a thing like morning out there!" What a start!

Within the first week Ashton had picked up a book on her own and proceeded to sound out the words she saw and began to read! We are off to an awesome start!
