My Weekend

Stars

Ava's cousin, Avery was so excited to meet the new baby. She wanted to hold her so we sat together on the couch. Avery was such a little mother holding and loving the baby. She looked deep into Ava's eyes and then turned to me and in all seriousness said, "She has STARS in her eyes." What a little sweetheart!

Road Trip

Ava went on her first big road trip last week. Her cousin, Catherine, flew out to help me drive from our house to Michigan. Pre-baby the trip took about 10 hours; post-baby it took 12. Thank goodness Catherine was there to help!!

We arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's house around 9:30. We hadn't been there for more than a few minutes when Great Grandma Joyce came running into the house. We thought she was going to knock us over to get to the baby. I think she missed her calling as a football player. It had been snowing all day so we were very surprised to see her since she doesn't like to drive either at night or in the snow. It turns out that Uncle Jeff had picked her up to bring her to see Ava.

My Auntie

Ava has so many aunties and great aunties and she loves them all very much. But Auntie E got her this great t-shirt and she wore it when she watched the MSU football game yesterday for 2 reasons. First, because her Auntie E went to MSU and Ava wanted to represent and second becuase she didn't have any MSU gear.

"Do you want to know how much I love my auntie?"

"This much!"
