New Friend?

Ava met a new friend at a BBQ last weekend and proceeded to start chasing him around the yard.
They stopped for a brief "Kodak moment" under a tree and then...
it was right back to chasing him around the yard... I think someone needs to teach this girl how to play hard to get!

Ice Cream Reward!

This past Sunday, Keith and Ava went on a hike to Prospect Mountain in Lake George with some people from our church. A couple of the members drove up to the top to meet the group with homemade ice cream!!

Quality time with Aunt Chelly

Relaxing... Adirondack Style

Helmet Head

On our recent trip up to the Adirondacks, Ava had her 1st bout with car sickness... hence the reason for the bowl as we made our way to visit Susan's Aunt Gerry. She had fun with it even if she didn't end up needing to use it!

Corn on the Cob!!



Ava REALLY enjoyed her 1st corn on the cob experience, as you can tell... :o) I wish I had known, I would have bought more!!

My little gardener


In a fabulous little outfit from Granna Wendy... hardly gardening attire but doesn't she look cute?

What is he thinking?

Our family has to wonder what Craig is thinking when he actually invited these 3 to sit on him like this. He might be a bit crazy, but they love him for it! :o)

Fun in the sun


Don't let her somber look fool you. Behind those sunglasses she is showing her true affection for the pool! She now loves to "jump" off the side with Daddy or Mommy's help.

Land Ho!

I feel like Ava looks like she is getting ready to jump ship or something in this outfit. It's a classic pairing with the rainbow striped shorts, ladybug rain boots and monkey floatie ring. Quite a departure from her "Fashionista" look from a few posts ago...

Al "crib" traz...

When we went in to get Ava from nap one afternoon, she had all her "guys" set up this way. I think she was trying to tell us something. LOL

Fashionista

"Pink is mah signature colah!" (Said in a southern drawl... name that movie anyone?)
Okay, maybe not so much a fashionista in this picture. They made "hats" and paraded around daycare the other day when it rained the entire day. Never would have thought to do that had I been home with her. LOL

HOT Camping Weekend


Amanda and Ava get ready for their banana boats hot out of the fire.

The camping gang poses for a quick picture before leaving our site and escaping to our air-conditioned cars!

Ava's Baby

Ava Lillian has a new favorite thing to do... play Mommy to her dolly Emma. :o)

Sailor Suit from Grandma Muse


Last goldfish...

who's gonna nab it? 3 guesses who got it... perhaps the one with the stuffed cheeks?

Seacoast Science Center

Ahoy Mateys!
A little show and tell about the resident turtle.

Ava gets up close and personal with "Raspberry" the turtle... or tortoise as the case may be.

A special thanks to all of you who participated on my team and also to those who donated so generously. We surpassed our goal by over $1,000 and I hope to do the same next year!

Afternoon at Jekyll Island







Ava's 1st Airplane Ride

Ava waited patiently in the airport for our plane to start boarding...
read the onboard magazine while we waited to take off...

and was "quiched out" before the wheels left the tarmac! She's a great traveler!
