We missed you Ava

We were so happy to see Ava after she was sick for two days. She was very happy to see us as well and was so full of smiles and hugs. She is such a trooper. Today is dreaded Sunday but we will be back to see her for two visits tomorrow.


Ava was so happy to be with Daddy and Mommy again.

She also got a brand new drawing pad which was the highlight of the day.

She got lots of kisses yesterday whether she wanted them or not.


Last night we went to Peggy and Jan's to make Pizza. Jan made the crust and we all brought toppings for our slices.

What a difference - she really looks like she has more confidence - and of course she looks more girly! Still missing and loving you all!

I would have to say you've been there a LONG time!!!! Ava has grown so much since you have been there- imagine how much she will grow once you are home! I have a feeling she is going to LOVE her room!!
