Ashlyn

Ashlyn Grace is our middle child.  She is an expert negotiator, the family sibling peacemaker, hysterically funny, an exceptional artist, and really one of the sweetest children I have ever met.  She loves to paint, and draw and color and basically do anything with art.  She really seems to have a talent for it as well.  She is also an amazing "cuddler," loves the Magic Treehouse books, and has a great interest in cupcakes.  I can't believe she's 8, but I'm loving every stage.  I'm excited to see what kind of girl she has yet to become.  Ashlyn is very forthright and doesn't hold anything back, but like her dad, she has a way of telling you the blunt truth without hurting your feelings.  Jay and I always laugh at how she can tell Quinn to stop doing something annoying and he will immediately stop and say, "ok Ashlyn."  But, if anyone else tells him the same thing he puts up a fight.  Ashlyn definitely has a charm about her that makes her irresistible.
