Ashley goes back to Daycare.

Well after two weeks of Gigi spoiling her Ashley will go back to daycare tomorrow. The Daycare center has installed several safety devices and I took a walk through with them last week. Nothing is ever perfectly safe but I believe they are trying.

Ashley is missing her Gigi as see looks up to the second story railing and says "Gigi" or when Mommy changes her bandage she says "Gigi" because she knows she is suppose to be there. I believe the two of them have gotten rather attached and we are glad that they have had the time to bond. Thanks Gigi for all you do and for loving our little Ashley so much. May God continue to bless you for many years to come.

Well the "excitement" never ends it seems. We have continued our problems with illness throughout the month and then last Monday we added an accident to the mix. We received the dreaded call from the Daycare last Monday that our precious child had been involved in an accident. It turns out that a daycare worker left a door open and took a couple of steps away from the door. Within a few seconds Ashley had gone over to the door to see what was going on and then another child saw the open door and assumed that it needed to be closed. Anyway it was closed on Ashley's "Pinky" finger on her right hand. It broke the very tip of her bone in the little finger and took the top of the finger off from just below the nail to the end and pealed it back. We had to rush to the hospital and hold her down while they did the work to repair the finger. We will not know for many months if the fingernail will hold and grow back. Needless to say it has been very hard on Ashley and Mommy and Daddy as well. Please keep her in your prayers that she will have a speedy recovery and that the nail will grow back as normal.

May God Bless you all,
Mike

Okay so we will keep the story going. Thank you to all who replied to the last posting, I did not know so many people cared.

The reason for the delay in posting this time has been illness in the family. Billie and Ashley have both been sick this past month with Billie getting the worst of the deal. So to say the least I have been busy caring for my girls.

This picture is of Ashley and her Niece Taylor who came by to visit the other day.

This one Ashley is riding her horse. Taylor is in the foreground and Nana is in the rocking chair.

Ashley and Mommy with her new "Elmo mo" that GiGi got her for Valentines Day.

I will try to post every week or so. Please keep the comments coming.

Love Mike
