Look what I can say!

These are just a few words Ashlyn can say now. She is beginning to put 2 words together. This past weekend she was saying "Hey Daddy". And just now as we were playing she was saying "Push me". It is so exciting to see how she is progressing everyday. I am in awe of all that God is doing.

Remember when...

Remember when the Drs. said she may not make it through surgery.
Remember when all she could do was lay in bed and whine.

Remember when I was finally able to hold her, but she was not able to hold herself up.


Remember when she was at Sunnyview for only 3 1/2 weeks.



We remember all that God has done for her. She is a blessing and a testimony to all that God is.

"The Voice of Truth tells me a different story,
The Voice of Truth says "Do not be afraid".
The Voice of Truth says "This is for My Glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me,
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth."

Friday Night

Sorry for not updating in a while.

Ashlyn has been making steady progress. She is getting better at holding a pencil/pen/maker, and able to have more control with it. She is talking more and can say, baby, mom, dada, pee pee, baba, please, Alice (our dog), ut oh, no, yes, oops. She is able to do some animal sounds, a dog, cat, and a horse. She is making such great progress. She saw her Dr. this week that was taking care of her in Sunnyview and he said she will be talking in 3 mo. That was encouraging to hear! She was approved by the school to get in home therapy 2xs per week and for the summer. I am having a hard time finding someone who is available. If you know of any physical, occupational, or speech therapist who are available and are contracted with Albany County, please let me know.

The other great news is that Todd is starting a new job tomorrow. He will be working for Plateau Homes in Cairo. He is excited about it and is happy to not be selling cars anymore. Of course we are thankful that he was always successful in that line of work, but now he is looking to be successful in modular home sales.

That's about it from the Finn family. Hope you all have a great weekend!
