Growing and Changing

 Age 14 has been full of growth and changes for Ashton, from growing physically taller to growing a little facial mustache.  From not caring about girls last year, to being obsessed with young ladies.

First, the stache....

Next, the young ladies...Ashton has been chatting with many young girls since his experience at sleep-away camp, but he finally found a girl whom he has been able to meet in person! LOL.  Her name is Grace, and last weekend we drove down to Rockville (she lives in Washington DC) to meet halfway at a trampoline park.  They were so cute. They even planned to match their red and black pajama pants. Her parents were lovely, and we had several things in common, including adoption and faith. It definitely makes me nervous, but I am thankful that she lives a comfortable distance away, her parents are also older and were on the same page, and neither kid can drive yet.
