Goll, this last year being Ashton's Mom has been the best. This kid is really growing up and coming into his own. He spends most of his time in the brown recliner in our loft reading. He goes through 3-4 books a week. I can barely keep up putting new library books on the kindle for him. He loves his robotics team at school, plays the piano and can tell you a million random facts. This year he also started his own "pooper scooper" business and I have to say that every time I drop that kid and his bike off at the farthest point in our neighborhood my heart swells with pride. He knocks on doors, talks to his clients, does a dirty job and then rides his bike to 3 more houses each time. I love that he has a work ethic, understands money, pays his tithing and stimulates our family economy with all the things he bribes his sister's to do for him. Sometimes Scotty needs someone to jump on the tramp with and whenever we remind Ashton "this is the brother you prayed for" he puts down his book and goes to play. His birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year so we celebrated a day late.
I adore this boy and so glad he's leading the pack. Flipflops for his piano recital was totally his style. I love it.
