Endless Love

Oh, so much love!  Love for Ava, love for Darla, love for food...love, love, love!  We took a brief moment on Valentine's Day to capture some of this love on film...

Mommy and Ava


Daddy and Ava


Ava and just one box of many candies that she got for Valentine's Day...


Ava and her deep love affair for odd colored yogurt.  Notice that it's about ready to drip off the spoon...


Enjoying a red velvet cupcake from the Valentine's Day party at daycare.  Even better - they sent one home for Mommy, too!


You can only guess what happened next to Saint Darla.


We were in southern MN this weekend, visiting our friends Darren, Tiffany, Isabel, and their newest addition, Evelyn!  I forgot how cuddly and snuggly new babies are (Evelyn is a little over a month old.)  Tiny little cries, fragile little fingers, and that wonderful baby smell...oh so cute!  I absolutely couldn't believe how much Evelyn looks like Isabel did when she was born - those two Winfield girls are gonna be heartbreakers! 

I was interested to see how Ava would do with such a small baby...and basically, she ignored her.  Every once in a while, she would stop over and look at her as I was holding her, but that was about it.  There is a baby at daycare, and Ava absolutely adores her.  She always wants to feed her, change her diaper, play with her, etc.  Maybe Ava was too distracted playing with Isabel to pay much attention to Evelyn?  The good thing is that Ava and Isabel did have a blast together - and they spent lots of quality time in the bathroom.  Perhaps Isabel's success with potty training will get Ava interested again...

Oh yes, strange colored yogurt... BUT, they make a "Cars" yogurt with Lightining McQueen on it and it's called Vroom-Vroom Vanilla, so that's been nice!

Did you get a haircut?

Snuggly Warm

By
It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

By
We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

26 Hours in a Day

By
Just yesterday morning, I was thinking to myself that I could really use a few more hours each day.  We don't sleep a whole lot, both work long hours at our jobs, try to play with Ava as much as we can at night and on the weekends, and then we have to do all of the adult-stuff...paying bills, grocery shopping, cleaning, work on side jobs, house projects, etc.  If there were only 26 hours in a day, we could: *Sleep just an extra 30 minutes - we need it since the dogs have been waking us up each weekend day at 5:30am.  What could be SO urgent that they need to get us up then?!?  You'd think we only feed them once a week, or something. *Spend an extra hour with Ava...we could go to the park every night, take an extra long bath, read a few extra stories, and just enjoy the giggles and chattiness. *Take 30 minutes to talk to each other about how things are going.  With Scott leaving for work each day before 5am, and then all of the craziness that ensues when I get home at nigh
