So, I'm a huge blog slacker. I can't help it. I'm too busy for this thing anymore. Is anyone even still reading???Ok, ok...well, so Ava is 25 months now...although, she's just about to be 26 months! Ooops! I know you're not supposed to do the whole "month" age thing past age 2...but I can't just say, "she's two" on every post for the next year!! So...I'm sticking with the months!
Anyway, we've had a super fun past couple of weeks. Although, things are CRAZY hectic. But, they're good...so I can't complain!
Ava's doing great! She's talking up a storm...in fact, I think she's finally starting to wear out her grand parents eardrums!! And her vocal chords! The child DOES NOT STOP TALKING!! Ever. Even random strangers out and about will comment on how much she just talks and talks and talks. Truly, my ears rarely get any peace. The very rare car ride sans child is about all I get! I guess it could be worse! We still haven't entered into the temper tantrum stage yet...although, I know SOMETHING is bound so come my way! Ava is a firecracker with an incredibly independent (and sometimes bossy!) personality! It can't just be all flowers and rainbows for too much longer! ;)
Ava's getting much more used to our new schedule...school included! She usually still cries a little either when I put her school clothes on in the morning and/or when we pull into the school parking lot saying, "no go to school." :( Even if she isn't crying when we get to her room, as soon as she sees it, she starts again. BUT, she usually stops crying even before I leave the room. She gets a report sent home with her everyday about what she did, what she ate, how she acted....and her favorite teacher, Ms. Kristen, has recently been writing things like, "Ava was very cheerful today!" I really love her teacher, and she seems to understand Ava's personality very well now. Ava talks about her all the time at home and even "God blesses" Ms. Kristen during our nightly prayers! So cute. One of her favorite parts of the day at school is music class...she really opens up in there and sings and dances away! On days that she doesn't have school...she KNOWS it! On Monday mornings, she'll say, "no Ava go to school on Monday! No mommy go to work on Monday!"
So, it's been raining a ton here...basically since we moved from Florida! So, we've had to be creative with inside play....or, a little puddle play where there's a break in the rain!
But, on the rare ocassion that we've gotten some decent weather- we've hit the park several times. Ava really misses being able to be outside all the time. In Florida, we had a fenced in back yard that was just a step out the kitchen. She spent HOURS out there...almost daily! She hasn't gotten to do that much here..so, when we get to go to the park, she gets REALLY excited! Here are her and Keegan at the park together for the FIRST TIME EVER!!! It was just about to rain the entire time, but it held off! They had a great time together!!
They've gotten to play together several more times at other various parks in the area. She loves going by herself, but she really loves it when she's got a buddy to play with! Here are some super sweet pics!
Keegan, wanna kiss?? :)
They played in the mulch under the playground for like 30 minutes! 
There was an charity softball event that Patrick played in (with my brothers Pat and Ian and a bunch of his baseball buddies from college), and we all went to the ballpark on Friday night. It was a blast! Ava had the best time! Can't wait 'til local ballparks are a part of our life on a regular basis (whether is be with one of my kids or Keegan)!! Here's Patrick and Ava having a blast!
Patrick teaching Ava how to run the bases!

Rounding third...almost home!! 
Now what, mommy?
After a forward roll. Loved playing in the grass!!
Sorry again for the delay...but that pretty much catches you up. Life is great! Here's more pictures of Ava at 25 months if you didn't get enough!! :)

i could murder you for the words..."no temper tantrums yet" sigh. i have been dealing with jase's shortly after he turned one. :( she is just adorable and so smart. as for jase's injury, i forgot to put it on the blog. kind of sad actually, he was playing with a lamp and the bulb burnt out. so while i was changing bulb he did his usualy "body ram" into me because he was mad at me for yelling at him and ran right into the light bulb and got 1st and 2nd degree burns!!! we had to get special burn medicine and it's all better now with a little bit of pink markings on his cheek. he is something else i tell you!! well, ava is just darling and i do check your blog very often in hopes of a new post even though i have become totally slack as well.
i am reading!! esp. now that i have acess to high speed internet. will be doing better posting on my blog as well now.
i totally checked and saw that the kids were drinking organic juice boxes! love it!
