Family Photo Session

Posted April 9th, 2009 by Sally and filed in Uncategorized

We were a little overdue for a family photo shoot.  It was nothing like having a great friend, Carrie, do the photos, but at least we’ve documented us, as we are now.

Enjoy!

Working in the Garage

A couple weekends ago, Matt was home on a rare Friday.  We spent the whole day enjoying the beautiful weather outside and helping Matt build a solar water heater for the pool.  Ava and I repotted a new flower for outside our front door and Matt put all his creative effort into warming up our pool early.


In the course of all the trips to Lowes for this project, we also discovered the greatest, cheapest toddler toy ever.  PVC!  Whole bags of connectors for a couple dollars and 6 feet of PVC for a dollar.  Yay for cheap building toys!

The PVC fun also led to the discovery of a strange Ava behavior.  Build PVC into a cross, hold it in front of her, and she does this…every time.
Weird.

For her fans

We bought Ava a Magna-Doodle for Christmas and she’s just now really able to use it.  She’s starting to hold the pen right and really scribbling up a storm.  Next, we’re on to crayons!


This video is a little long, but hang in there to see the latest of Ava’s tricks.  
She can point to most of her body parts!
