It has finally been warm outside lately and Ava and I are loving it. It has been wonderful to be able to play with chalk, play in the backyard with the dogs, and go for walks.
This was Ava's first time to play with chalk and she loved it. She was thrilled that I was able to draw "fowers" and "su-shine" on the driveway. After awhile she got sort of bored and decided to "feed" Rusty and Ellie rocks and dirt through the fence.
Speaking of Rusty, Daddy brought his chocolate lab, Rusty home from his parent's house recently. Ava loves it--and I think Ellie does as well. Every time we drive into the driveway Ava has to say "Hi Russy, hi Eyee". But when the dogs bark it is always, "Hush Russy"... never Ellie. Poor Rusty.

This past Sunday was Daddy's birthday. Ava loved singing "Happy da Daddy" to him all day and of course--eating cake!! We went to Mema's to celebrate with our family and had a wondeful time.
Ava is talking like crazy lately. Every day she is talking more and more it seems. We went to Target to buy her some sandals the other day. She instantly saw some that were sparkly and have rhinestones on them and had to have them. The minute she put them on when we got home she started saying, "oooh cooot" and "I wuv shoes". We went to the store and she told everyone she saw, "wook, I wuv shoes" : )
The other night after saying our prayer and tucking Ava into bed, I left the room and she started to cry. I left her in there for a few minutes to see if she would calm herself down and go to sleep on her own but it wasn't working. So I went back in there and sang and talked to her. Afterward I told her I was going to go in the other room now and she was going to go to sleep. She looked at me and said, "Jesus, Jesus!!" : ) We have always talked about Jesus, but this was the first time I have actually heard her say it on her own. So we said another prayer thanking Jesus for all of our family, and of course--"Russy and Eyee", and she was satisfied and went right to sleep. It was one of those moments that just warmed my heart : )
This morning it was raining. Ava came and climbed into bed with us as usual and we layed there watching cartoons until about 9:00. It was a wonderful break to our usually hectic schedule. I am hoping for a relaxing weekend spent with each other--It's Pappy's birthday weekend!! :)
