EXCITING CHANGES





We have several very exciting changes in our family to announce. First and probably most exciting is.......if you haven't guessed by the picture............is we are having another addition to the family. And if you couldn't tell by the pink print it is a girl! Penelepe is very excited! Oliver when I first told him asked me if I could change it to a baby brother instead. I told him he would have to ask Heavenly Father about that, because I have to no say in the matter. When I told Ryan, he asked if they (the doctors) were sure. I think they both thought for sure it was a boy. Both are now fine with the idea of the girls outnumbering the boys. I am due around the end of November beginning of December. My doctor changed the date from Dec. 6th to Nov. 30th. I'll plan on the 7th of Dec. and if she comes a week early - that will be a nice surprise.
Our other exciting news is that Penelepe is potty trained!!!!!!!! Oh how I love that day when they finally decide to be potty trained!!!!!!!! She has done pretty well. She watched Elmo's potty time and I wasn't planning on her really being potty trained then, but after she watched it for a week (THANK YOU LIBRARY) she decided she was ready. Unfortunately since the diaper has come off a lot of her pants do not fit. She can be a pretty good plumber. And if you look close enough her pants are on backwards. She insists on puttin her clothes on with no help. She does like to sit on the toilet and sing a lot! I love it. We tried to get it on video - hopefully in the future. One of her favorite songs is "Twinkle twinkle I am a child of God". Its a great remix of the two songs!

Thanks so much for the blogging you do do! I love reading what's going on! I am so happy for your little family. Although I consider 3 children a huge family! Sure do miss seeing you around here. They realigned the boundaries for church and now we are in the 3rd ward. I keep telling myself, change is good. It sure does keep things from getting too dull, eh? Have lots of fun, okay! And don't feel guilty for not blogging daily! We get the information when we get it... and not a moment sooner:)
Love Sherri

Deseree and Ryan, Congrats on your good news! That is pretty great.

Seeing all your pictures is so much fun. I love seeing your kids and you and Ryan again. We miss you guys. You're kids are sure getting big.

You can see the new addition of our family on our blog: nateandhollyashby.blogspot.com

When did you go to the Hill Cummurah? My twin sister, Heather, lives there. If you went to church you would have seen her, possibly. She just came here to El Paso, TX, the last weekend of June. Anyway, I think that you get a lot of snow in the winter. Why did you move there? Is Ryan in construction still? It'd be good to hear from you. You can check out our blog, too.

Love ya,
Holly:)
