Our family is complete!

MR. CARTER JOEL ASHMAN

All grown up!

Macey got her ears pierced today. She was so brave and very excited, but right before it happened, she told me she had a tickle in her tummy. Their was only one girl working there, so she had to do one ear at time. She pierced the first ear, and Macey's face turned a little red, but that was it. By the time we went to pay at the register, I asked her if it hurt anymore, and she said 'No, it just felt like getting the flu shot'. She is so brave and strong! She couldn't wait for Daddy to get home from work to show him. On the way home she asked me if she looked 16! Why do kids want to grow up so fast?

Update

We are one the countdown until Carter's arrival...January 28th I will have a C-Section. We've been getting everything ready. Stephanie, Kristi, and Kylie are throwing me a baby shower tomorrow, and I'm so excited...so is Macey. She has been my helper lately.
We had a great Christmas, very busy! Lots of family to see. Macey's big gift was a Nintendo DS from my parents. They got each of the 3 older grandkids one. She loves
the easal that Vince's parents got her. She's really into 'teaching' right now.
Below are some pics of the snow we had on Christmas; and Macey helping Daddy paint Carter's room.

So I was trying something new with my last post, but it didn't work out the way I thought it would. I also tried to scan a photo of Macey with Santa,and it came out awful...
Anyways off to the Dr right now; I hope he will decide on a date for my C-Section.

Macey's first production

Macey had her Thanksgiving program today followed by Thanksgiving lunch. For some reason she volunteered to say a poem in front of everyone (all the Kindergarteners and their parents). We didn't find out until Tuesday, so we practiced it a lot the last couple days. She did great! I was so impressed with her. I was so nervous for her (of course I didn't let her know). She was excited that she got to hold the microphone.
