Happy Holidays & Updates from Ashley

Happy Holiday’s to you and yours!!

Thanksgiving is over, and we are still full!  Now comes the fun stuff… CHRISTMAS!!! My children are already starting their Christmas list and this momma has a completely different idea.  I’m thinking just a plain ole swing set! 

Bean is getting big.  I officially cannot button my jeans anymore… new jeans it was on Friday!!!  Thank goodness for Black Friday!!  Little Bean has been great company over the last few weeks.  It is amazing to feel it grow and move!!!  We all still think it’s a girl, but I think only time will tell.  So far she(it) doesn’t like brisket, or waiting to eat!!!  I literally have to eat something small throughout the day in order to keep up, or even out of the bathroom range.  LOL!!!  All for a great cause!

Like I said, Bean has been great company.  This little one is SO loved, not only by you all but by my family as well.  My son Benjamin) lifts up my shirt and tells her(it) hi and that it’s mommy and daddy are excited to meet it.  I’ll ask my 3 year old (Caitlynn) “Whose baby is in Mommy’s tummy?”  “Sussie’s”…. she’s too sweet!!!! 

Sadly Bean will attend it’s first funeral in the very near future.  My grandfather went to the pearly gates with JR Ewing from Dallas!  He was one very happy man!!  My favorite memories of him were when we would go to the ranch to count the cows and turn around and come right back home.  My cousins and I would play the game “Who can see the red roof first”!! I won most of the time because I was down there so much!!  We wrestled on his footstool for years and I wouldn’t trade any of it for a minute!  I know that Grandpa is watching over me and baby Bean and would be so proud!!  I found out not too long ago that he wanted my Grandmother to be a surrogate when they were younger!!  He loved when she was pregnant apparently, and they already had 6 kids, so having another kid was out!!   I found that very encouraging and strange all at the same time!  :)

Sorry, didn’t mean to go on and on about that! 

Love from the Sefcik’s!!!  Happy Holidays!!
