Where We’ve Been
Two years ago today, our little Peanut was due to arrive. Of course, Ava had other plans and took her time arriving in this world. My, how time flies.
Speaking of time flying, someday, we’re going to have to post a doozy of a post all about the last three weeks and all that we’ve had going on. We’ve taken lots of pictures to share and we always say “Oh, quick! Take a picture! We need to blog that!” But, between doing the things worth blogging and all the other not-so-bloggable things, we’ve just run out of time.
So, until we get around to posting all the fun pictures and videos of the last couple of weeks, here’s a little run-down of what we’re looking forward to in the next couple of weeks.
~Ava’s turning two! That’s right, we blinked and two years went by. Our baby girl is now a walking, talking, big girl sleeping, changing daycare rooms, ready-to-potty-train big girl. She’s grown up so much and we’re just as proud of her as we could be. We’ll be celebrating with friends and family at a park for a ladybug picnic. Very excited!
~Thanksgiving! We’re cooking up some yummy deliciousness to share with friends and family at our house. We love this holiday and are so glad to be hosting!
~Matt and I have been married for five (5!!) years. Holy buckets! We’re grateful my parents and brother will be here to babysit Ava while we hit the town. This will be our first anniversary date in three years…2 out of 5 isn’t bad, I guess. 
~Fall 2009 semester ends December 11. And not a moment too soon. One more semester and I’ll get to walk that graduation stage in May. Really looking forward to just working full-time rather than doing the work/school thing. Ah, sanity.
More soon, friends. (With pictures!) Have a great week!
Air Power!
We braved the wind and cold to take Ava to the Nellis airshow. She loved seeing all the airplanes and, when we let her “pet” the jets, she would say “Nice jet. Nice jet.”
We didn’t make it all the way through to the Thunderbirds, but we had a fun time. Hopefully, it will be a little less windy when we go next year!
Karaoke – Little Einstein Style
Ava’s singing debut…the theme from Little Einsteins.
While Ava’s heard this song plenty at home and in the car, evidently they play it over and over for her at school because she puts on such a show.
Fair warning: Ava’s almost two. Just ignore the nasty bossiness of the first 20 seconds. I don’t know how to edit the movies so that they come out all sunshine & roses.
Happy Halloween!
We’ve had a busy day Halloween-ing around here. We started with pumpkin coloring and carving this morning and ended with a fairly successful trick-or-treating outing. This year was Ava’s first time for trick-or-treating, but she did the dressing up thing last year.
First, Daddy carved while Ava colored our pumpkin.
Later, Ava prepared for the night’s festivities by practicing her monster walk.
For trick-or-treating, Ava dressed up as Minnie Mouse.
We started with a visit to the Hoffmans and then went to several houses on our block to gather some treats. Ava wasn’t real sure what was going on at the first house, but by the second bowl of candy, she was a pro.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
