Wild 'Do

By
Ava's hair is finally getting long enough that it comes below her collar...and Daddy can style it into crazy 'dos after her baths.  I did brush this one down before bed...her hair is already nuts during the day - it doesn't need any help!  Her hair is actually hitting below her collar - maybe someday soon we can do a little ponytail in the back.



We've been working on storing all of her smaller clothes and toys that she no longer uses.  I pulled out her old tub, and she had a grand time playing in it...no matter where I put it, she crawled back into it.  When she wasn't looking, I hid it from her...otherwise, it would be a permanent fixture in our living room.  Ava figured out that if she stood on the edge of the tub, she could try to crawl onto the couch.  This resulted in more than one tip-over!









She likes to run around with her blanket around her shoulders, like a little shawl.  So chic!



I am SO excited about this...yesterday morning she was helping me clean.  Granted, I had a hard time getting the dustpan and brush back from her when I needed it, but she was trying so hard to copy what I was doing.  I'm sensing a Christmas gift for her...maybe a complete cleaning set!  Only the best for our little one. :)

Can't wait to see a ponytail on Ava! That will be so cute. And falling down never seems to slow them down for long! I sorted and packed up Dylan's clothes that he has outgrown yesterday. Sniff, sniff. Where does the time go?!?

Goodbye Sweet Spanky

By
This is a post that I'm not very excited to write.  As you probably know, our oldest dog, Spanky, had struggled with health issues (ear infections, seizures) his whole life, and recently, his health had severely deteriorated.  He hadn't been eating, his ear infection was so severe his face was swollen, he had a hard time getting up the stairs, and he very rarely wanted to play.  Last week we got a few tail wags from him, and he ate a few bowls of food, but it was a 50-50 chance that he would actually keep the food down. On Thursday, we made the decision that if he wasn't any better by this weekend, we were going to put him down.  I know Scott didn't want to make that decision as Spanky was a very special dog to him - he truly was his little buddy, following him around everywhere, wanting to be wherever Scott was, and howling his sadness whenever Scott would leave him. Throughout Friday night, it became clear that Spanky wasn't going to have a miraculous recovery...

Grandparents, Birthdays, and Sprinklers, Oh MY!

By
What a whirlwind week we've had...I was trying to get everything wrapped up at work so I could take my 5-day "furlough" from last Wednesday, through tomorrow. Wednesday was my first day at home, so Ava and I had a ton of "fun" getting everything ready for the upcoming activities. I did have a wonderful massage, so that started my vacation off very well... Gramma Karen and Grampa Doug drove in from KC on Wednesday afternoon. We had a great evening catching up, and enjoying the nice weather (until the downpour that happened right as they were leaving our house!) On Thursday, Scott, Dad, Mom, and I drove down to Cannon Falls and Rochester to check out the areas for potential future homes/land for us. At some point, we'd like to move south of the Cities. Ava was a very good little girl, especially considering that she was stuck in a car for most of her FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! We went to Applebee's for lunch, and the wait staff came out singing to someone else...I...

The Early Bird

By
I realized that I skipped a chunk of pictures that I wanted to share...things were super busy last weekend, so we'll blame my lapse of memory on that! The focus was so much on Ava's party, that I neglected to share the family birthday photos, too. Two weeks ago, we invited all of the grandparents over for a wonderful dinner of smoked prime rib (and other yummy sides), and then topped it off with a raspberry mojito birthday cake for the newly minted eight-year-old. We like to experiment with different birthday cake flavors for her birthday, and this one was MUCH better than the watermelon cake from last year (gross-gross-gross!)      Saying cheese with Grandpa Doug! G and I took a break from the present pics to take some selfies ;) Even his cars made an appearance! Super excited to be receiving an aquascope! And no birthday is complete without something from American Girl - this time is was a pizza party set - awesome! We have also...
