BIG birthday...

The boxes arrived last week...



construction began on Friday...



there were many pieces...


it continued on Saturday...





until we finally had this:



Happy (early) Birthday Ava!!!!!
Man, was she excited. Poor Joshua actually got to see the play set before Ava did and he was begging to "go outside!" Finally, once Ava was up from her nap, we let her loose. Joshua joined her shortly thereafter.










Hopefully Ava won't think birthdays get bigger each year, because we definitely can't outdo this. Shoot, this isn't even a gift from us, it's from PawPaw and Mimi. This play set has been in the works for a while, and we're glad it's finally here. This is the only play set in the entire neighborhood, so hopefully we won't have problems with the bigger neighborhood kids. We actually had to get clearance from the HOA to even put it up. But it will bring hours of entertainment for Ava and her friends.

Our little girl is growing up fast, and this second year has flown by. It really is hard to believe that she will be 2 in a little over a month. Here are some pictures of our growing girl.

she loves to play with blankets

eating a "snackless" of fruitloops


she'd have stickers and tattoos all over
her body if we had enough
A few days ago I walked into the bathroom to see this:

(Oh my gosh! Is my baby really a big girl now?)




washing her hands... or just playing in the water :o)


no more high chair, just a booster seat, and it's not even buckled... she'll be 18 and off to college before we know it!
