It's a Wonderful Life

Amidst the busy-ness of life, I haven't been able to update the blog much. My time on blogger has mostly been spent developing my new business site: www.ashleydoula.blogspot.com, and the new soma Christou site: www.somachristou.blogspot.com. Time in general has been spent hanging out as a family, working on the new service, practicing with the new band, developing my business, continuing education for that, attending my first birth as a doula, and having a very special visitor from Colorado: DEVON! Below is a pic of that visit. It was so great to see this incredible woman who has been my best friend since she was in 7th grade, and I in 8th. I am amazed that through all of these years and life stage changes, we have never been closer.

pray for us if you get a chance:
for the new service, that we would be prepared, and that people would come and experience Jesus
for my starting business as a doula, that God would bring me the right clients and give me the emotional and physical strength I need to support them in labor.
for our kids, that they would be well and Micah would be healed (has had a fever of 104 the past 2 days)
for our extended family, Jeremy's grandmom and my nana have both been in the hospital ill.
for our friend Devon, who moves with her husband in a couple of months to accept a teaching job in New York City
for our friend Sarah, who is moving to Mexico to start a ministry house for orphaned/troubled teenage girls

Your requests have been heard!.....

Last weekend was spent in Clarendon, Texas visiting my Nana (Micah calls her Neenie) and getting some furniture and keepsakes that she had given us after moving into a nursing home. The boys were both sick, as was mama, but it was a dear time to be with Nana, and we made some priceless memories, so here are the pics....
