I'm going to be an Auntie!

That's right. To a little boy! Sad, though, it won't be named after me. Though Aspen has agreed that if she's not having a girl by the sixth child, they will name it Lawrence, so there's still hope. ;)

All is well here. I am finding myself becoming more and more attached to little baby Ashlee. She is now just over 6 months old and seems to be learning new things all the time. This week she just learned to wave. And I'm working on mumma, dadda and nana. We'll see, we're not making much progress with that. She also started solids last week. That is exciting. Today we tried blueberries and apples for the first time. She wasn't very impressed by them... and it looked like she had grown a beard with it all over her face. Hah.

Only one month until I get to see my sister. What an excitement that will be. I am looking at all kinds of things that we can do. I will get to be a tourist with them. Yay.

Tracey's got all kinds of job stress now. Help to run a hotel looks to be quite hard and stressful, I don't know that it would be quite my forte. I think I am quite lucky with this "job" now, and I absolutely love it. The family here is also really great. I feel more and more each day as if I am a part of it, instead of this extra attachment, which is definitely nice, being so far away from my home.

Still juggling around many possibilities for the time when I return to the U.S. - many. That is the only stress in my life, thanks, Mom, for giving me your MUST PLAN EVERYTHING gene. Really, love that one.

I might cut my hair off. What do you think? eh? eh? Like shoulder length. It's been a LONG time. And probably the last time it was that short was not on purpose (I seem to recall letting Aspen cut my hair - and that was my first mistake) Any way. Who knows.. I certainly don't, and so I guess no one else probably does.

Anyway, nothing really too new to report here, infact I am struggling with coming up with this much. Sadly, this small bit or writing has taken me a long time to write. Psh. Hope that everyone is doing well.. miss you all.

It sounds as all is going well there, and I am so happy that you are becoming part of such a wonderful family. I know that leaving will be difficult, and that you certainly have so many options from which to choose. How wonderful that is, though...it would perfectly terrible to have no options at all.

Love you,
MUST PLAN EVERYTHING!!!!!
