New little School Girl

I just needed to note that Ava has been like a different girl after Christmas break.  I am referring to school.  She no longer cries or gets upset when she is going to school.   I am so proud!!!!  It was hard having her cry daily.  I knew she was ok once she was in there, but still.

She has been learning so much!!!  The other day she was repeating something and I listened harder.  She was saying the Pledge of Allegiance.  I almost cried :)  Yes I did because that just seemed so grown up like. She has been able to spell out a few letters for a while now.  The other day she wrote her name.  I was blown away.  I didn't even know she knew how to write the "V".

Just wanted to share.  I haven't blogged anything in a while.

Exciting News

For those of you who don't understand the message.....We are PREGNANT!!!!

I am due July 25.  I was wanting to make sure everything was ok before I told.  We have already been to the doctor 2 times.    We told our families the weekend before Christmas weekend.  We are so excited and humbled!!!!   Ava is very excited and full of questions :)

Christmas pic catch up

I am behind as usual.  We had a GREAT Christmas.  December was a month of gatherings, family, food, and fun.  We took a trip to Atlanta to celebrate Christmas with Adams family.  Ava has a ton of toys from all the Christmas parties.  And she had a visit from Santa.  She was very excited this year.  We left out milk and cookies.  We also fed the reindeer!!  I love this innocent fun age!!
