Ignorance is bliss, but Awareness is POWER

Christmas 2014 updates

Christmas 2015!  Ashlynn is now 5 years 2 months old.  Last year, we hit so many milestones I had waited for, for so long, and I was happy, very happy.  She could jump, ask basic questions, and tell us what she wanted for Christmas.
