Catch Up

Lots of good things have been happening too these last several weeks - here are some catch up moments that we caught on camera. The above picture was taken after our little trip to Oklahoma in Feb. Ava thought it was hilarious to get inside of our luggage that we hadn't unpacked yet. She kept saying, "I hiding". :)

For Valentine's day, Chris and I exchanged gifts (Chris got me a new color all-in-one printer and I got him a game for his Wii - amongst other smaller gifts, etc.) Chris also got Ava a Mickey Mouse valentine and a book all about dogs -which she loves. Ava picked out the puppy she's holding for her daddy. We didn't go out to eat but instead got Chili's to go.

Since the weather has started warming up we've been able to make several trips to the park. Chris has even come home a few days after work and taken Ava to the park so that I could rest or do something I need to do - like shower. ;) Just like most kids, Ava LOVES playing at the park.
She especially loves to swing. One funny thing is that on two separate occasions, we've been at the park and some other kids will come over to the equipment Ava is playing on and she's said, "No, this is MY park!" Oops.
We celebrated my sister, Gina's (in dark blue shirt) bday earlier this month. We had it at our house - made a tasty meal and then did various activities ranging from playing with the grandkids in Ava's kitchen, organizing baby clothes and playing Chris' Wii games. Can you find the nonhuman visitor in this picture?

Last but not least - even though it was late and I looked and felt frumpy - I made Chris take a picture of me so that we can have record that indeed I am pregnant. Hopefully, I'll get a few more where I'm feeling a little more spiffy.

There you go - we have had some good times too! And - Ava is also quite fun to be around - despite my hormonal complainings as of late!

Ava's growing up! 2 weeks! Wow! You look great. I feel like it's such a relief to have pregnancy behind me. I'd rather deal with a newborn any day. Good luck! Do you have any names in mind?

Thanks for the support. We're terrible at deciding names and usually keep quiet until we know for sure - which in Ava's case wasn't until over an hour after she was born. :o) Ideas?

You look terrific!

I am so excited for the day (very soon now) when I check your blog and find baby pictures!

Ava looks so cute. What a fun age.
