Getting Ready for . . .

Things are starting to hop at our house!  We are getting ready for Kelsey and Derek's Baby Shower. FUN! FUN! FUN!  AND . . . Wait for it . . . . KYLE IS COMING HOME from Afghanistan!  YIPPEE!  Zoei and I can't wait!  


So, I started with the fireplace.  Next on the To Do list is finish organizing our taxes.  Having every receipt organized is a fabulous advantage when you have a home based business.  Then we need to move OUT of Kyle's room so he can move in for a minute.  He said he wasn't going to be a stay at home son anymore and he was going to take Zoei and Lily with him.

Life is always fun and on the go at the Ashby home!
