over martin luther king jr day weekend, ashley came up north for a visit. for those of you who do not know ashley, we met in dominica as kyle & her husband ryan went to med school. we quickly became friends (thank goodness because i don't know if i would have survived down there without her!) and also business partners, as we sold bread & other baked goods. and as the "bread ladies" left the island, we have been visiting each other in different cities and states ever since. miami. atlanta. chicago. nashville. columbus. and now, we have added milwaukee to the list.
not only did i love having ashley here, but ellery loved it too! you can tell she loved snuggling with ashley from the picture below :) for most of her visit, since it was cold (ashley would say it was absolutely frigid!!) & snowy, we had the perfect excuse to spend a lot of her time here just relaxing, chatting, and playing with ellery. ashley also taught her a new trick - ask e what a snake says, and she would stick out her tongue! i love it.
we did actually get out of our pj's and off the couch :) we went to lunch at city market, took a trip to target (which took us about 3 hours to get out of the house to do!), went to church at epikos, and played trivia. on the day ashley left, kyle even watched ellery for a couple hours so ashley and i could hang out just the two of us and stroll around the mall. what a wonderful husband i have!
ellery was especially excited about her new outfit ashley brought for her - a super cute & soft minky gown with her monogram on it. ashley helped give e a bath, we styled her hair in her signature "i just put my finger in an electric socket" look, and then put on her new dress. she looked absolutely adorable, just a little bit like a southern belle.
thank you so so very much ashley for visiting us all the way up here in wisconsin, in the middle of winter! we can't wait to see you again soon!!
