Ava & Abby

There are no words.

How precious is this?

Our little nugget...

Ava LOVES helping out with Abby! Trying to give Abby a bottle for the first time.

So adorable.

Ava & William Graduate

Boyfriend and girlfriend ready before taking the stage....
Singing the "Graduation" song...(I really couldn't tell what they were singing) There's always one nose picker in the crowd.

William was pissed he couldn't stand next to Ava.

I mean, honestly: Pre-2 Graduation? What does that even mean? Pre-pre-school?

Ava and our Wildlife...

I'm not sure if you can see the 2 deer at the top of this picture....they are laying in the grass, and the ears make a 'V'. Anyway, we never have deer just hanging around. (probably the dogs) Ava spotted them yelling, "Mommy...deer!" Ava thought this was so cool, and that the deer were waving to her with their ears. So, I take a picture, and settle back down to the couch. Seriously, 2 minutes have passed, and Ava yells again, "Mommy, I see a bear!" Craig and I look at each other; "Yeah, right." And she's yelling it again, "A bear, a bear!" Ava's not one to just lie.......

Sure enough! Right where the deer had been laying, is this bear! Our first bear sighting right outside our window. Good sized, too! Needless to say, we didn't let the dogs out for a while.
Oh.....and here's gimp.

Thank you, Namma!

Syl came and helped me for 2 weeks. Thank goodness for mother-in-laws! I didn't have to lift a finger the whole time, and became quite spoiled. We organized Ava's new bedroom (which she is sleeping in now!) and washed all the new baby's clothes! Everything is ready for a new bundle of joy to come home. I am truly blessed with such a wonderful family!

We took Namma to Goldfork Hot Springs. What a beautiful place we live in! Ava and Kohvie playing "chess".

Namma was a trouper and we also went to a birthday party for Ava's friend, where Ava proceeded to strip down to her skiives to play on the slip and slide. Here she is playing "house" with William. William is 2 days older than Ava, and has already professed to everyone that Ava is his "girlfriend". Oh boy.

We are thankful for Namma's!!!!!
