September funnies

I still love some of the things Ashton says.  One morning we were driving to Kennedy Kreiger through a not so great part of Baltimore City when we pass a very large and expansive graveyard.  He said, "Mom I know why there are not a lot of people around here, they are all in that graveyard.  LOL

Ealier this week we were talking about  alcohol, smoking and drug addiction and the topic turned to daddy smoking habit.  Ashton said, "Daddy still does tabasco."  LOL!!!

Finally, Mr. Carter the band and strings teacher at Lisbon must of been super persuasive, because Ashton has decided he wants to play the violin.  We borrowed one from a friend and he has taken it to school every day for fear of forgetting it on his practice day.  And he's super bummed he won't be in school tommorow for his lesson day!  I want whatever Mr. Carter is selling:)

Ready to play the violin!

3rd grade!

I can't believe our "little" guy is in 3rd grade!   Time please slow down!!!!  Despite having a new teacher, going to a new daycare, and having to the catch the bus at a different house, Ashton took in all stride.  It's only been a week, but so far, so good!

1st day of 3rd grade

The weekend before we enjoyed camping with our fellow Guatemalan adoptive families.  As usual Charlotte and Ashton enjoyed exploring and fishing at Killen's Pond.
