Spain comes to Indiana and some thoughts from Ashlyn

We are still on cloud nine around here that Troy is home from his two week trip.  We missed him so much.  It was so great to see the girls reunited with him on Friday morning right after they woke up.  Kyla ran into his arms and Ashlyn's eyes lit up with pure joy and her arms instantly shot up for daddy to hold her.  And they were both happy to get some gifts that daddy got for them in Europe.  Troy got Kyla and Ashlyn flamenco dresses from Spain...they are the cutest things and the girls look so cute in them.  Kyla wore hers all day long....a little bit of Europe right here in Indiana......

In other news, we are getting quite the little chatter box on our hands.  One of the first things we were told after Ashlyn was born was that she would most likely be delayed in speech.  She does have a speech delay, but is very expressive and quite the communicator.  She is always learning new sign language and can say several words.  The best thing is that lately it is like she is really, really trying to have a conversation with us.....she wants us to know something.  There are words in there and I know one of these days they will be coming out.  One day last week my friend Tracy was over and while our kids were playing we noticed that Ashlyn was jabbering up a storm.....she was making us laugh so much.  Here is the little chatter box letting you know her thoughts.....
