Crazy days with G-Daddy!

On our last trip to Lubbock, G-Daddy took Ash to ride Thomas the Train. She loves Thomas and watches him on Sprout and PBS often. She also just loves trains and this was a REAL BIG TRAIN not just a mini train at the park or zoo. It was a special Lubbock day of Dirt and Wind but she did not seem to care, she loved the whole event. It was also a big milestone because she is deathly afraid of clowns but as you can see, she talked to a clown, accepted a puppy balloon and shook his hand. She also got to pet goats which is right up there in the top most loved animals for Miss A. I also got to eat at Spankys which I had not done since I was pregnant. YUM!!! Ash is beginning to have her mother's love of hamburgers ~Yikes! We also went to the park and blew bubbles and she has come home and has decided this is her favorite after school activity and our porch is stained to prove it!

She really loved her days with G-Daddy and we love our new web cam conversations which she does waaay better than the phone!

Another exciting time for me personally was that dad went with me to my dissertation proposal at Tech. He met all my professors and part of my cohort and watched me present about my research. Needless to say... he was beaming. Pretty cool!
