Photo Friday

Just a quick pic of the day. I took this yesterday and I think it captures Ava in a nutshell. She was having fun cruising around her room, but she had to have her binky and her Pinky Bear, lol.

Scrapblog calendar

Well, I had worked for hours on some scrapblogs to do a calendar as a Christmas present for my sister this year, only to find out that Scrapblogs downloaded as jpegs do not have high enough resolution to be photo gifts :( I am still not sure why, so if anyone can think of a reason, let me know!

At any rate, I thought some of them were cute and I didn't want them to go to waste, so I thought I would share them. Here they are, in order, cover first. Enjoy!

Misc.

Just a misc. post on a dreary Wednesday morning. It is very warm here, but drizzling and rainy and about to get cold for the rest of the week. Bummer.

Ava has another double ear infection, poor girl. She's on a new antibiotic now though that tastes a lot better and she's taking very well, so hopefully it clears up quickly because she has been such a grump--and I can't blame her! I remember having so many ear infections as a child and it makes me want to cry for her because I still remember how much they hurt.

Ava also got her third tooth! Her first top tooth, and it's mate is not far behind. So it looks like she will just have 4 teeth by her first birthday. I can't believe it is coming up so soon. She still seems like so much of a baby to me. She started pointing this week though, and has even pointed at the Christmas tree a few times and said "tee!" for tree! She can also point to Zoe or Bailey when I ask her where her kitty cat is. Smart girl :)

Aiden is adjusting to getting back on schedule and going to school. He will have a long Christmas break coming up soon though (we are going to potty train him then, cross your fingers for quick success!).

Here is a pic of the kids and my parents from our trip (great pic!) and also one of our tree which we put up last weekend (and Zoe enjoying the Christmas pillows, lol).

Happy Wednesday!

Aiden's school pictures

We got Aiden's school pictures back today! Isn't he cute? This is his class photo also, 9 boys and 3 girls. I think only one kid is smiling, lol.

We're back!

We are HOME! We finally arrived yesterday afternoon around 1:30 in the afternoon. It was a long trip, but so wonderful to see all of our family and some of our friends. Unfortunately, Aiden came down with bronchitis once we got to Ohio, so we had to cancel plans with most of Chuck's friends because Aiden was contagious. I hope we get to see them the next time we are in town!

Here are some of the pics from our trip. Mom & Dad, I know you have more pics of you with the kids, could you e-mail them to me? Also, I know that Jackie, you took some pics at your house. Would you also e-mail them to me? Thanks so much!

The pics are backwards in order, so the most recent ones are first. As you can see it was COLD for most of the trip! The kids did great though, and Aiden was even requesting to wear his hat by the end of the trip:)
