Ashley is turning 6 this week! What a beautiful and fun little girl she is! For her party she wanted to go to the mall and ride the double-decker carousel with a few of her new friends from the neighborhood. The girls enjoyed dressing up with their necklaces and sunglasses and heading to the mall - like big ladies - and they were darling.

Ashley truly beamed all day long. I thought she looked so pretty and grown up. We have been so pleased with her development lately, she is making strides in every aspect of her life. And she is so happy which, of course, makes us happy!

Luke was the silly big brother with all these girls around. The girls vied for his attention and he entertained them with his antics - but it was the first of Ashley's birthday parties that he hasn't been in the group pictures. Times are changing...

The day was a success. Tyler topped it off with giving her a new bike - her first girl bike and it took the cake! We are so blessed to have Ashley, our little flower, in our home. And we are very grateful for her sweet presence in our lives.

What a beautiful little girl she is and how much she has changed even in this past year. I still remember her round rosy cheeks when she was born. My how the years will fly!
