Last day of summer

A week ago it was 80, and we were in the pool. Now for our last day of summer the lovely state of Washington gives us a nice & gloomy 58 degree, rainy day. We made the most of it! Some cleaning projects, some minor plumbing projects...started the fireplace for the first time, and Grandpa stopped by for an acoustic set!
One of today's projects was sorting through all the clothes that we got from cousins: Emma, Sophie & Audrey! (graciously donated by their Moms)

Now Ava can change clothes 8 times a day instead of 4!! Lucky girl. You'll have to do a fashion show for us.
Love you all.

I think Audrey snuck another shirt in the diaper bag yesterday. I think Ava will like it.

Ava Grandpa's going to have to teach you how to negotiate. I think you would be better off having me give you $50 a guitar lesson then you giving me 3 cheerios. Did you think I was going to charge you?

Tumbling and playa-latte...

It has been a fun couple of days. Yesterday was tumbling day. They are starting to work on a "routine" for a recital in June. It is soo funny! They work on there steps and moves, and all seems to be ok, then the teacher turns on the music and all havoc breaks loose! They have a bunch of toddlers in there own world hopping around and running everywhere! Total chaos. It is totally priceless :-) Ava loves it so much and I love watching her get so excited. Super cute! The rain boots have yet to see a drop of rain. They have pretty much become glorified house shoes. Ava wears them with everything! Today we went to a cool place called "Playa-latte". It is a fun play place for kids and serves coffee for the moms. It is a perfect place for the kids to burn off some energy while the moms catch up. Ava's partner in crime, Jake, came with us. He is such a little cutie! They both seemed to have a blast, except the part when Ava got stuck in the jumpy house, too high and a...

This amazing miracle entered our life. She was just three days old when we first set eyes on our little sweetie. She has been our joy and blessing ever since. I am so grateful to be Ava's mommy! She brightens the day and warms the heart of every one she come in contact with. Watching her grow, learn and become such a beautiful little girl is a privilege and a gift I will cherish forever. We love you soo much our sweet little Ava!

The true journey began..

(Warning..the following is one of a series of reflective gushing's from a mom totally in love. It will be one mushy week) ..a year ago today! A year ago today we were boarding a plane to pick up Ava and start the adventures of parenting. After years of yearning and months of waiting for new pics,updates and final approval we were going to have our daughter home with us forever. It was then that the true sense of being a mother took hold. Since then I have tried to take in every moment. Embracing the ups the downs and all of the greatness in between. Ava has brought us so much joy! She has filled our hearts and completed our family in a truly amazing way. I dreamt and imagined what it would be like to be a mother for so long, but the crazy thing is, the reality is better than even my vivid imagination could conjure up. It is real and is amazing! The best part? This amazing journey is just beginning. I feel so blessed...
