Kyle’s parents came into town the last weekend of August for a visit. I love when they come to see us, it is always fun times. Emma and Jane got to spend some time with there Granna and Papa B. I think they wore them out. Miss Emma is very busy. The girls loved getting to see them.
After many long busy days of us taking them on outings with the girls, Kyle and I loved keeping them up late to play cards. It is becoming a Barrett tradition. I really enjoy the competition between the girls and guys. Joyce and I own the Kyle and Scotty at cards. Thanksgiving rematches are in order.
Anyway, the Sizemores, who are old family friends of the Barrets, had a lunch date with Scotty and Joyce. A plane ride came up in conversation over lunch. Scotty jumped at the idea to take a ride in a bi-plane. Lucky for us, Kyle and I both got to go for a ride too! Here are a few pics of the weekend and the trip in the plane.
By the way…it was so amazing.

This was such a fun weekend. Thank you Joyce and Scotty for making the trip to come and see us. We love you.
I know most of you checkout our blog to see those two sweet babies that I am honored to call mine, but before you get to see them I’d like you to read my ramblings. Life as a mom has been an up hill, learning experience for me. It has been such a time of relying on the Lord. I know God has carried me through these last 2 years as a mom. God new what the plan was when Kyle and I married – 2 babies in 2 years 
– and I am so overwhelmed with humble love for that.
We are now entering into toddlerhood with Emma Jean. She brings me to tears with laughter more times than I can count. She’s an example of pure joy. To see her laugh makes me blubber. If I love her this much, how can I even explain God’s love for us.
My sweet baby, Jane Adair. She’s 4 months old and beginning to roll over and sit up on her own. I feel like I’m constantly looking at Kyle made over. She’s fun to sit and watch and just listen to. Miss motor mouth! She talks all the time. We are not sure at what or about what, but she’s a bit of a talker!
God has made my heart so big. It’s funny how much your time gets spread thin but your love and joy increases with more kids. Can anyone say L-U-K-E?! No, were not pregnant but I’ve already got the itch.
Quick question for anyone who can help – I am begining to look into some preschool prep material. I want to get Emma going on some school stuff later this year. Does anyone know of any good books or other resources I should look at to use with her? If you know of anything, please let me know.
Thanks and enjoy!
Last night Kyle and I had a chat about our family blog and how inconsistent we’ve been in updating our family and friends with all that’s going on in our lives (We are sorry for that). So, the torch has officially been passed to me. I am still a novice when it comes to the blogosphere, so I may need some extra time to learn how to upload pictures and create a new post.
PS. The offical introduction of our second child, Miss Jane Adair Barrett, will come soon.
The semester has started and the craziness has begun! Before 3 weeks turns into 3 months I wanted to post and get everyone caught up with Team Barrett – Louisville edition. Many of you may not know but Ashley is pregnant – again. I know what you’re thinking, “Has she had Emma yet?” We went to the doctor last Monday and they gave us a projected due date of March 22nd, 2008. For all you math majors out there that is 3 days before Emma’s birthday and 6 days before Ashley’s. So what does 3 days plus 6 days add up to? A busy (and expensive!) month of March for Kyle for the rest of his ever lovin’ life! If anyone feels so led, any and all Barrett Birthday Donations can be sent via Paypal to kylebarrett2@gmail.com.
In all seriousness we are excited and have gotten over the initial shock of it all. God continues to provide for us and confirm that He is good to His children. We’re hoping to have some more formal family pictures taken once it cools down and the leaves change colors so stay tuned. In the meantime though…
My brother and his wife had their baby Monday night. I’m sure Patrick will be posting more pictures soon but I wanted to be the first to let you see the new bundle of joy – Lydia Grace Barrett.
Wow. It’s been awhile. The Barrett Three are going strong and having loads of fun. Kyle and I have been taking it easy this summer keeping up with normal stuff and eagerly awaiting the arrival of our little niece Lydia Grace. After four months of badgering and heckling being given to us (by “us” I mean Kyle) I am making the move to get us back into the blog world. Our last post was on the arrival of Emma. Well I just want to clarify she is here and doing well and has not graduated high school or gotten married yet. As we approach her 4 month birthday we wanted to put some of our favorite pics up for all of her dearly loved family and friends to see. We hope you enjoy them.
Little Miss Emma Jean is getting big. It has been such a sweet time with her over the past few months. She has accomplished many of things 4-month-olds are supposed to accomplish. :> I must say though that as much as I would love to report that our little girl is so much like her mom, I am realizing more and more how much she is her papa made over. She even sleeps like him. It is scary.
With love from the ‘Ville,
Ashley
