Congratulations Ashley and Matt!

One of the highlights of our Christmas vacation was getting to participate in Ashley Fulton's wedding to Matt Ramsay. We had a great time even if Leila didn't quite manage to keep quiet throughout the ceremony.

We really enjoyed getting to see so many of Leila's Fulton relatives. Daddy particularly enjoyed the food. Shrimp and grits! Blackened stuffed mushrooms!

Mommy was the matron of honor and she did a wonderful job too.

Since this is LEILA’S blog, she deserves capital letters at all times. All three of our granddaughter’s were here for Christmas. For some it was the first time to meet LEILA and Rachel. Rachel is 5 ½ months old and LEILA is almost 8 months. Sarah is 2 ½ so she is old news. She is old enough to need a full price ticket to fly from Denver. That is pretty important for a little girl. The baby girls had lots to learn from each other. They learned to cooperate and work together to open up one of Granddaddy’s presents. It was a lot of pull and tug but finally they made it through the shiny, silver paper. Since LEILA is the more mature baby she was able to teach Rachel the fine art of eating smushed bananas. Rachel and LEILA were also able to share each other’s Christmas toys. Sarah concentrated on the big people because babies are old hat to her. LEILA stayed with her grandparents while her parents ate at Floppers in Loxley. As you know, Daniel and Chandler really, really like seafood. Just to make them feel loved, LEILA was very happy when her parents (especially her mother) returned. Our house has been filled with people and babies, a dog, toys, towels, Christmas presents, food, Becky’s walker, booster chairs, high chairs, an Exersaucer and more excitement than you can imagine. Jim and I went easy on the Christmas presents for each other this year because all we wanted for Christmas were three baby girls. We got our wish and had a very merry Christmas in Foley.
