We needed a makeover.

I decided to give our blog a face lift. It's a new year and we have a new house, so why not a new blog. Plus I always felt bad that I titled our blog Triple Blessings and left out Ashlyn. She is a huge part of our family and I wanted to include her in the title. So I changed it to Triple Blessings + One. I hope no one thought we were having another baby.

Ashlyn has loved playing dress up lately. She loves Princesses and anything girly. Whenever she is starting to drive me crazy I say "if you don't stop it, I'll sell you to the gypsies". She always used to say, "no, I don't want to go with the gypsies" until the other day I said "why not, you would like it, they wear dresses, and beads around their neck, and dance". Now she says "mommy can I go with the gypsies, pweeese".
Here is Brooke modeling one of my sweat shirts. It seems we all are in need of a makeover.

Gaby is "striking a pose", practicing for her future days with Vogue. She was clomping around the house, wearing one of Ashlyn's pretty sandals. One of the kids' favorite toys is definitely shoes. Snow boots, their own shoes, Ashlyn's shoes, rain boots, mommy's shoes, and even daddy's boots usually end up strewn about the house. Ryan says, "I gotta find a way out of here, away from all these crazy girls". Yes, he is standing on his booster seat looking out the window. He and Brooke have both been caught climbing the chairs again.
