Hello all~
A friend of mine told me awhile ago that I needed a blog. Well, I know a little about computers but nothing about blogging! She now has a blogspot and I have been reading it and checking it all out and decided "Hey, this isn't hard! I could do that!", so here I am! This is my first official blog! Ashley, who is 3 now, is such a big girl! It is so amazing to watch her with her little sister. I swear sometimes I think she thinks Ellie Grace is her baby! She loves on her so much that EG gets frustrated with her. Ashley will be going back to preschool in Sept and this year we have her enrolled for 3 days from 9-12 on Mon, Wed and Fri. Ellie Grace will be going to Mother's Morning Out on Mon and Wed mornings from 9-12. She will be 1 year old on August 6th. As one of the Little Einsteins would say, "I cannot believe it!" She is crawling all over the place and just recently started pulling herself up! Ashley walked at 11 months...I wouldn't count on EG walking until after her first birthday! She doesn't need to, Ashley gets her anything she could possibly want! She has 2 teeth on the bottom and is seriously trying to cut one of her top. She put everything in her mouth! I am not used to this because Ashley never did. I think when you have a second chold you automatically expect for them to be just like your first. I can tell you this is definately not the case! Ellie Grace has been totally a different child! Of course she is just as happy as Ashley was and I think is going to be just as talkative! Both are beautiful girls. We just had professional family photos taken on Saturday. You can check them out at http://www.hopejphotography.com/ . Go to client proofs, then Fowlkes Family! AJ is still selling cars. The market hasn't been too good lately but we will struggle through just like everyone else! He still has his weekly garage night with the fellas to give him a chance to get away from the bump and grind of the work week! I am an Independent Consultant with The Pampered Chef now! My personal website is www.pamperedchef.biz/cooking4fowlkes if any of you are interested in ordering or if you just want to keep up with the new products. I absolutely LOVE my job! I have so much fun and I get to meet new people and I am constantly getting to earn free stuff on top of my commission! My sales have increased every month so far March when I joined the company! I hope my business continues to grow and I continue to enjoy it! We definately could use the extra income! We have a very blessed life and I thank God for it everyday! Check back regularly to see what new things my babies are doing!
