Promise Kept

I have made the promise to many of you that I'd resume blogging soon. In my defense, aside from being busy, tired, and yes, a little lazy too, our computer was attacked by a virus back in May. But enough with the excuses. I am devoting the next couple of hours to finding and sorting pictures so that you can all see Ava's busy and fun Summer thus far and how much she has grown, grown, grown. Hasta pronto.

Do you hear the African Drums?

We've joined our friends Teryn and Jackson in moving to the beat in our Music and Movement class.




The best part of the day is that we get to play with our friends Teryn and Jackson

Fun, Easy, and Cheap entertainment

Two wacky parents, One energetic toddler, a park, and a tub.

Playing is learning

Loved ones loving on Ava

He catches up to her around the corner

The Perks of Mommyhood

When my patience tank is running low, a flashing smile like the ones below fill it right back up.

Fourth of July hip, hip parade!

Home, not quite ready for all the festivities to end.

Pool Fun

Ava has inherited the fish gene from both daddy and mommy so we have spent many a days at the pool




Daddy taught the mommy and me swimming class for years so he's starting Ava out early with her kicks



I know your hiding the Cheerios up there somewhere
