Carebear visits the Dyersburg Mall

Today we took Katie walking around the only mall in town. The Dyersburg mall. Katie had a lot of fun pushing her carebear around in her stroller.

Mayhem Monday!

Usually, our Mondays are just as typical as other days. Today, however, was the exception!

First--my (Ashley's) boss called me because he picked up some marketing materials that I created. The address that I put down was totally wrong! Well, not totally--but I wrote down the wrong city of the business address! Luckily, he is quick to forgive, and I got a re-ordering discount.

Second--when I was on the phone with Jim--I looked on the fireplace mantel and noticed that Bryan forgot some of his medical charts! Katie and I packed up and journeyed down to Milwaukee.

Third--Bryan called when I was 4 minutes from his office. He forgot his wallet at home! Luckily, he didn't get pulled over today...so Katie got to see Daddy at work today.

Needless to say, I needed a little pick-me-up. Katie and I stopped at Starbucks and treated ourselves to a pumpkin spice latte.

Just a few updates

1. Katie is congested and has a cough--sleeping has been difficult for her the past 24 hours.
2. Bryan is traveling to Madison tomorrow for a CE class. We'll miss him!
3. We took both our cars to M&D Auto this week for general check-ups (and they needed a few things fixed on them). We went each night after Katie went to bed, and our neighbor, Max, came over to our house. He's 15; he watched TV while Katie slept, and I think he preferred this to staying home, where he would have to compete with 5 other people for the TV!
4. Our digital camera is broken (again). This time, it won't turn on. We mailed it back to cannon yesterday. Props to cannon for providing pre-stamped packages!
5. On Veteran's day, Applebee's is providing free meals to veterans and active duty miltary. Yay for Applebee's!

Halloween (Part III)

Halloween (Part II)

Halloween (Part I)

Saturday night we went trick or treating for the first time with Katie and her friends. Three kids under the age of two. We had a monkey (Katie), a lion (Gianna) and a turtle (Peyton). All the kids as well as us adults enjoyed the time out together.

Debt-free Robertsons!

Our Memphis neighbors, the Robertsons, are debt free!! How's that for being 12 months out of optometry school, raising 5 kids, and only spending $15 per week on groceries??!? Great job, you guys!
