More Pink!!

Didn't think it would be possible, but after our ultrasound in December, looks like we're going to have even more pink in the Gast household!

It's a girl!

Baby Girl, we don't have a name for you yet but you have no idea how excited we are for you to join our family. Your Daddy is more than thrilled, your sister rubs you and calls you "baby, awww", and I can't wait to see the precious little hands and feet that remind me everyday how fortunate we are to have you.

Poor Santa...

Well, I thought last year's visit with Santa didn't go so well...this is as close as she would get. Thanks Daddy for taking this one for the team...

She wasn't thrilled with us (again)...maybe next year?

Thanksgiving on MLK Day

That's right...I'm talking about our Thanksgiving! It was a cold one, but we got to spend it with my side of the family in Pennsylvania this year! It had been just about a year since seeing any of them, so it was definitely a much needed trip! I still wonder how I lived there, it's so stinkin cold!! Guess I was too young to care...like Ashley. She had a blast!

Here we are...my Mommom Kohr, Ashley, my Mom and you know the rest...The girls...My Mommom turned 86 while we were there, doesn't she look great!All bundled up, ready to go outsideBundled up again (was a theme)...at my Dad's farmhelping feed...You have know idea how excited Brian was to hold this chickenAshley found a friend

Yes it was cold, but we had a great time and as always it's so nice to spend a holiday with loved ones! It is nice to be back in 70 degree weather though! Maybe one day they will see "the light" and become snowbirds!

Time flies...

New year, new start...and I need it! Letting my blog go for so long, unloved, untouched...unexcusable!! A lot has happened since my last visit to blogville, so I better start sharing!

Ashley is TWO!!! I still can't believe it! We were in Pennsylvania for her birthday, so we celebrated there and here! And all with Tinkerbell! Thank you to everyone who shared in celebrating her day and making it special!
