Our sweet Ava just turned 14 years old! We're celebrating by having a simple family dinner at home (Ava chose the menu of dino nuggies, Frozen-shaped mac and cheese, and smiley fries.) Not healthy at all, but that's what she wanted, so we shall oblige!
Next Thursday night, she and one of her best friends will be hosting a joint birthday party with their pals. It was an interesting experience trying to get them to plan something, but I think we've pulled it together. It's a space/galaxy theme, which is different...and they came up with themes to represent each of the planets (sorry, Pluto, you're not included this time!)
Just a wee one...so many years ago!
Her last few hours as a thirteen year old...
Happy Birthday, Ava Lorraine!
Ava has generally always had her birthday near Father's Day, so it seems appropriate to highlight some of the fathers we've had in our lives (with Ava.)
Ava and her dad :)
Ava and Grandpa Doug
Ava and Grandpa Whitey (and a bonus pic of Grandma Deb!)
Ava and Grandpa Bruce
Scott doesn't have to work on Father's Day (yay!) so he'll be at home and can spend some time with the kiddos on his special day. I'm going to head over to spend some time with my dad. It should be a really great day!
Pria had her first pup cup from Starbucks and she was ecstatic to have the sweet treat!
Unfortunately, we have some very sad news to share. Grandpa Whitey passed away this past Tuesday, due to an illness that he had been battling. We're keeping Grandma Deb in our prayers as we know this is a very tough time for her. This will be a big adjustment for all of us, as we will miss Whitey's sense of humor, and his easy laughter. We know that he is in a better place, giving Buddy all the pets and treats he could ever want. RIP, Whitey, we love you! 💙
