What better way to spend spring break then to go visit your favorite peeps on one of the best beaches in the world?
On Friday after I took my microbiology midterm I headed straight to the airport to hop on a plane!
That is my kind of SPRING BREAK kickoff!
When I got there Hannah and Jack picked me up at the airport. Hannah was sitting in the back and I was sitting in the front and she held my hand the whole way to their house. She couldn't contain her excitement, neither could I! We rode up the elevator to their apartment and when the elevator doors opened and I got off I saw Jackson at the end of the hall running towards me at full speed with the biggest smile on his face. My heart was full!
Next was Jane, she followed shortly behind Jackson yelling
"my ashy! my ashy! come see my room!"
at this point tears were swelling, the happy kind.
Melissa said that her kids were more excited in this moment than on Christmas Morning.
They were all gathered around me trying to talk to me, 3 little voices all at once!
Then I got to meet baby Luke.
He was so so so TINY!
I fell in love with him instantly and I didn't want to put him down.
The whole week in Miami was so fun!
I got to celebrate Jackson's birthday with him, I can't believe he is FIVE years old!
One of the days we went to a really cool park. It has a playground that is like a maze and it has 5 floors! Melissa sat on a bench to feed Luke and I took the other kids to the playground. It was so exciting. There was a room in the playground with flashy lights and mirrors and I told Jane it was the "party room" and she started shaking her little butt and dancing! I couldn't stop laughing!
It was a fun day.
On Jackson's birthday after his party we went down to the beach and ate pizza. It was such a pretty evening with the sun setting behind us.
Jackson found a $5 in the dirt...

"Ashlyn I have an idea! Take a picture of me by this wall and it will look like I am in the ocean!"

The Leprechaun came! (we were drawing at the table one morning and Jackson asked me how to spell Leprechaun...thank heavens for google)
