Enjoying Photos and some of that guy

The girls have now started asking me to take their pictures. So here's what our beautiful Ava chose to look like:


And here is how Violet chose to smile like a princess:


I thought this one was really cute. You can totally tell Ava has started posing.



Oh, and speaking of the other person in the house, what's his name? Ummm.. Tyler? Yeah, I think that's it.. Here's Tyler working hard last night.

Here's Tyler with his sweet girls. He really is a great dad.

First dance class

Ava had her first ballet class today! It went well. They practiced jumping, skipping, galloping and twirling. Ava went right in all by herself and paid very good attention to her teacher, Dianna. Ava was really tired by the end, so we are going to practice some moves so she's not so tired next week. We also talked about "taking a nap" before so she isn't tired.

"Tissue in my nose"

Yeah, that's right. Last night while Tyler was studying late Violet got a piece of tissue rammed waaayyy up her nose. I thought for sure we were headed to the emergency room. Thankfully I was able to fish it out with tweezers while pulling her cheek back and looking up her nostril. I could barely see it. Let's hope this is a once in a lifetime experience.

The girls have runny noses. From what I think was the swine flu to this. Fun times.

Thankful

I've been feeling very grateful lately for the abundance of blessings that I have. Even though there are many things that I want, or that worry me, I am so blessed. Here are some of the ways I am thankful:

For a beautiful library and story times.



For dear friends of the best variety that let us share in the joy of another baby. It is these experiences that really humble us and help us realize what life is all about.


For Aunts and uncles that love our children.


For piles of dirt and the joy they bring to kids.


For FREE science centers.


For a little fear every once and a while.


For the majesty of birds, the letter B, and for kind hearts that give a home to injured animals.
