Debrief

-Tyler's mug is in Fortune NOW! We are thrilled. I'll post a picture of what his co-workers got him.

-My SLR camera has been sent to Cannon AGAIN for repairs. It had better come back working. So many moments NOT captured!

-Violet has the best sense of style. It may look a little crazy, but the tutu with striped tights and a patterned shirt really looked cute today.

-North is a screaming and talking maniac. He loves to stand at the window and yell at the top of his lungs. He can clearly say mama and dada, and attempts Ava, Violet, Milo (pretty clear), and Bye bye. He also loves to climb. Today he climbed up on a basket to get to the piano, attempted to get up onto the keys, but thankfully he is not tall enough. He also pulled himself up on the couch. I think he has super-human upper body strength from all the crawling.

-He has been waking up at 6 which is killing me.

-He isn't close to walking. Crawling is much faster.

-Need to decide what the heck I'm going to do for all these June birthdays. (Tyler's June 3rd, Violet's June 16, North's June 24, Our Anniversary June 25th). All ideas will be considered.

Naples Break

After Disney we headed south about 3 hours to Naples. A nice relaxing break from the crowds! It was still HOTT though.


Still eating sand.

Standing - as usual - during the meal.

Focusing.

Picking bits of sand off her foot.

Daddy digging a huge hole.

Us! Old school style, holding the camera out in front of us.

The waves were really big that day.

Passed out.

Dress Up

Before we left for Disney I was going through my closet and arrived upon what most married women store in the back corner - their wedding dress! I tried it on. It didn't fit me. So I tried it on Ava. She had a blast. It is so poofy and huge she couldn't move much. Violet wouldn't get near it.



Ava's Disney Highlights

I tried to make Ava's highlights different than Violet's. Ava is over 48 inches tall so she could ride most anything. Here she is on Dumbo all by herself!




The teacups with mom!



Belle :)




The castle.



Meeting Daisy.



And Stitch. (Although the Stitch ride was AWFUL. Do not waste your time.)



Dressing up for the Princess dinner.



Meeting Snow White. She said the Snow White ride was her favorite.



And Tigger.



On the Magic Carpet ride with Violet.



Eating "something cold."



Watching the parade. Can you tell how hot it was? 95!



Playing "where's Izzy" before meeting Rapunzel.



And of course meeting her.
