Assortment...

I went into the laundry room. She went into the fireplace.

I got to go out to dinner with friends and Daddy gave Ava a bath. It's the first bath documentation since she was 2 weeks old because I can't take pictures and keep her alive. :) Way to go, Dad.

Okay, anybody who knows Mark knows this face is straight from him.

The rubber duckie has stayed popular for a reason!

Food

The first two pictures represent the majority of our day yesterday. Thankfully, Ava is like her parents and food changed her demeanor completely. :)

Stairs :(

I think I will officially never get to lay on the couch again.

If you're happy and you know it, wear your carrots

Mark just didn't think she needed a bib to eat carrots in an off white outfit. :) Luckily you can't see the mashed potatoes.

I know this is blurry, but I love how happy she is.

We haven't bought toys for quite awhile now. The kitchen drawer is all she needs!

Aidan!

It's tough when a girl has 8 boy cousins, but Aidan seems to cross the gender line! He has loved holding Ava since they first met when she was 4 weeks old. We love you Aidan!

Welcome Back Will!

Will comes to play on Mondays and Wednesdays, but hasn't been since before Christmas Break, so I decided to take a few pictures. Unfortunately, photo shoots are much more difficult when they can move.

BORING! See ya!

Sorry to the fashionistas...

So all I hear lately is how moms need to quit wearing "comfy clothes". Ummmmm... sorry Tim Gunn and Oprah and Stacy London, but as for me and my house-we will wear warm up suits! At least on Saturdays!!

Tug of War

This is like built in entertainment. If you have a child and no dog, I wonder what you do?! They played tug of war for at least 20 minutes, neither of them caring at all where I was. :) Heaven!

Laughing at Sheriff.

If I hold it this tight there is no WAY he can get it!

Goodnight sweetheart...

What is it about sleeping that makes them look a)so cute, and b)so BIG?! She just looked so irresistable to me tonight I was tempted to pick her up and hug her. Then my sanity came back. :)

Hats and sweaters while we can...

My brother and his wife with our precious Babushka (sp??). Just a few more pics from our family get together. And there will probably be more. :)

Happy 50th Anniversary!

Had a blast celebrating my parents 50th anniversary with our entire family. (22 people in one house for 4 nights!!) A little difficult to get a picture with everyone looking at the camera. :)
