Ava and the Easter Eggs

It's almost Easter time!

Mommy and Grandma let Ava play with the eggs before filling them with goodies
for the Easter Egg hunt.

On the move

Keeping mommy busy

"Uncle" Keaton being silly and making Ava laugh :)

Piggy back rides!!!

So I got a little behind on my updates....sorry....we've been a bit busier than usual now that Ava is on the move - crawling and climbing - It's a little harder to fit it all in these days!

We also added a new member to our family in February - Keaton (Erica's ""little brother" mentee) moved in with us, so that's been keeping us busy too. We've been busy getting Keaton settled and enrolled at Armstong High School (he's a SENIOR this year!!!), helping him find a job (he now has 2 - Subway and VIP Auto), and planning for his future (post-grad plans, a car, etc).

Busy, busy, busy around here, but everyone is happy and healthy, so life is good!!!

So much to see...

So much to do!!!

Ava loves to stand at the living room window.

Sometimes she watches quietly, sometimes she stares for long periods of time (you just wonder what she's thinking about:), and sometimes she pounds her little hands on the glass to make noise and communicate with the squirrels and birds outside.

We can't wait for nice, warm spring weather, so we can go out and play!!!
