All About Ashley: A Heart-Warming Experience
http://ashleymcb.blogspot.com/2009/04/heart-warming-experience.html
Sunday, April 19, 2009. A little over a week ago we met a family that was facing the possibility of being homeless. They had experienced some difficult times and couldn't seem to get "a break". The father is currently out of work and the mother is disabled. The children are 18 months and 10 years old. We received an overwhelming response! When we brought over the first truck load of items, the 10 year old girl was so excited! She went running into the apartment to get her mother. It was truly one of the ...

All About Ashley: Learning About Ladybugs
http://ashleymcb.blogspot.com/2009/08/learning-about-ladybugs.html
Saturday, August 15, 2009. Ashley learned all about ladybugs when we bought a tub of them to release in our yard. We bought them at a local greenhouse. Ladybugs are actually predators that feed on a variety of insects including aphids, moth eggs, mites, scales, thrips, leafhoppers, mealybugs and other slow-moving insects. Early evening is the best time to release ladybugs. So, we waited until dusk to release them into their new home. Now we are anxious for them start doing their job! Ashley at 5 years old.

All About Ashley: Fun Butterfly Craft
http://ashleymcb.blogspot.com/2009/05/fun-butterfly-craft.html
Saturday, May 16, 2009. We have been planning fun crafts for Ashley's Fairy Birthday party and found a great butterfly craft that is easy to do! 1 For each butterfly, cut two 2 1/2-inch squares from scrapbook paper.

All About Ashley: Building a Fairy House
http://ashleymcb.blogspot.com/2009/09/building-fairy-house.html
Monday, September 7, 2009. Building a Fairy House. Finally we came to a clearing in the woods, where we found dozens and dozens of fairy houses, every shape and size. It was such an amzing sight! They were built with all different types of materials. Some were in the trees, others on the ground, some near bushes, some at the base of a tree. They were spread through out the tall pine trees as far as the eye could see. It was incredible! What a great way to spend one of the last days of summer!

Saturday, October 24, 2009. Without hesitation, Ashley walked up to the mother and asked if it would be okay if she shared some of her grain with the little girl. Touched by her gesture, the mother agreed. The little girl beamed with excitement as Ashley gave the entire handful of grain to the little girl. November 6, 2009 at 9:10 AM. What a proud moment!

Monday, June 15, 2009. Several weeks ago Ashley auditioned at a local theater for her first play, Oklahoma. She got up on stage and sang her solo and did a great job. Then she went through the dance audition with all the adults and teenagers and kept up quite well. What a great experience for her and a wonderful way to build her confidence of being on stage!

Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Opening Night for Oklahoma. Opening night for Ashley's first play, Oklahoma, was last week! It was truly amazing to see Ashley perform in front of audience!
