Ava,Sahja and the Cupcake

Here is a common moment from our days. Ava is talking to her dog...and he understands every word. This could be because she says Sahja more often and better than she says Mama!


This weekend we celebrated what Leah (Ava's big sister) called 'Ava's Fake Birthday'. We made filled cupcakes, a favorite from our childhood. Ava got to eat one...or most of one..

Happy Almost Birthday, Ava!!

My gram and pop are coming to visit!

Well, tomorrow is a very important day. Ava's gram and pop are coming to visit. Mama and Dada are going to Amsterdam for a little vacation. This means that Ava is going to be spoiled rotten within a week!

Also, Ava has learned to say lalalala. We're not sure if she is saying Lynda or Laura...and we're not going to even guess!

Anyway, the early birthday party is this Sunday. We'll have pictures up soon.

Oops! I forgot to tell you about Danie and Sean's wedding! Here is a picture of Ava with her cousin Israel. They quickly became best friends!

Also, here's a picture of our little family at the wedding. Ava talked through most of the ceremony. She's a bit of a social girl!

Ava-lina Ballerina

I was a ballerina for Halloween this week. The only problem is that I can't walk or pirouette!
