My Nieces

It has been way to long since I have put up pictures of my nieces. It has been even longer since I have actually seen them. :( It has been over a year now since I have been able to hug and kiss the sweet girls. Ashlyn turned 2 in March and Claire is 19 months old now. They have grown so much since I last saw them and have learned many new things as well. I hear that Ashlyn is a little bundle of energy and she is never sitting still. Claire is picking up new words so quickly and at the moment she loves to say "uh oh". Lana told me that she dropped something in the car one day and she continued to say uh oh the rest of the way home. :) I just thought I would share some of the newest pictures I have of them. Aren't they sweet?! When Mom was here she bought Claire the backpack and necklace and apparently she loves carrying it around the house even though she doesn't know how to open it yet. Back in February Jonathan and Lana got to take a trip to Houston to visit Doug and Amy so the girls got to play together a lot and I heard they had fun, but were also wanting all the toys to themselves and didn't want to share with each other. I guess it is about time for that phase. If you can see Ashlyn's car, it says Princess on it and I think that helps define her pretty well. Look at her with her purse, baby and car. She is such a cutie. Claire loves to get inside the baby bed that is at Mom's house. She is still small enough to get in it. For Ashlyn's birthday she got a play kitchen and her grandma made her a little apron so that she could play "kitchen." I love you Ashlyn and Claire and I will get to see you soon... in August!
