Back to Blogging

Well, another month has come and gone.  When we first got home, every month was full of changes and firsts. Now, we can actually say things like, 'Wow, this month flew by'.  This being said, I have decided to be more intentional about blogging regularly.  No more of this once a month thing.  I can't promise it will be every week but that is my goal.  I do enjoy it so I'm really going to try to carve out time.

 
General August Update:

August was a fantastic month.  The weather has finally been heating up so we've spent many days at the beach with friends, by the pool, and at SeaWorld Ava is still crazy about arts and crafts and starts every morning by crawling into my bed with her magnetic drawing board.  She's learning more and more everyday...it's unbelievable!  She is surpassing what we think or assume she can do.  Her big accomplishment of the month is that she learned to dress herself.  When she successfully dresses herself she does a little happy dance around the room which is too cute for words :-)   Well, there is the short and sweet summary of August.  Expect more frequent posts throughout the next month.

Fun in the sun and by the water...

Auntie Erica took Ava to paint pottery.  Perfect day for little Ava

The girls went out for teatime to spend some time with Erica before she leaves for another year of teaching overseas in Vietnam.
