Signing time with Ashley

It seems that our communication method with the group has evolved from weekly emails, to far less than weekly emails, to blogging, and now to the occasional video clip. I even contemplated just setting up the camera and talking into it each time we wanted to share something. But, then grew weary thinking of all the different tasks involved in that process and thought against it.

However, we would like to share a share a short clip showcasing Ashley's newly acquired sign language skills. We called it Signing time with Ashley. Our trick on that video was to flip the view screen on the camera around so that she could watch her self, hence why it looks as though she's mesmerized with the camera when in actuality she's just vain.

Amber and I are continually amazed at watching Ashley grow. It's truly a joy to witness.

Today the weather warmed up to the point where the neighborhood took to the streets in the evening. At first glance it appears that everyone is just out for a stroll, but there is a favorite pass time that I have discovered. Everybody, and I mean everybody, loves to explore all the unfinished houses on the block. At first, I thought it was just a quirky thing that Amber enjoyed, but she is most certainly not alone in her curiosity.

As we get to know more people we are reassured that we picked a good place to live where we could be surrounded by good people.
