Ava Clair Bear

Here is our Clair Bear. She is really expanding her vocabulary lately. It is so nice to hear her and know what she wants! She is almost two now, and she is so different than Olivia. Completely the opposite end of the spectrum. She likes to get dirty, prefers to play by herself, draw on things other than paper (you name it), she throws very dramatic fits right now, she is a light sleeper, and it takes forever to get her to sleep! I guess we have started the "terrible two's" early, so maybe she will finish them early? ?

She drives me crazy the quickest, but also is the fastest to melt my heart. She is great at sharing with her sisters (unless it's her blankie or her pillow). When Olivia asks for some of her brownie, Ava will break off more than half and give the big piece to her, like no big deal! Olivia loves chocolate too much to even share a bite without being forced.

Daddy Daughter Date

I just snapped this picture before Scott and Olivia they headed to the Candy Shoppe, where Olivia could pick out a piece of any kind of candy she wanted. Scott opened the door for her and she bolted. Grabbing a "Smartie" for her in one hand, one for Ava in the other hand, and said "Daddy, I am ready to go." He was thinking, we are in a speciality candy shoppe, and you go for a smartie?? So he helped her pick out some more of a variety of candy. They headed for the waterfront downtown, where Scott carried her, running all the way to the end of the dock, just to then agree to head to the back to the car. It was way too cold outside!

Quiet Time

The girls have a bedtime of 7:30pm and this is when I get to catch up on all of my projects! I have so many! From crocheting to sewing to reading, and oh yes...cleaning, there is much I want so badly to catch up on. SO I say "quiet time", but really it is more like ScRaMbLE TIME because there is so much I want to do that my mind is racing the whole time. But I have a new project that is taking me by storm. I have caught the photography bug!!! I took some pictures of my cousin's wedding a few weeks ago, and here are some of the ones I have had time to edit. I think I may be editing pictures in my dreams tonight. ALL this, and I haven't even gotten to any pics with the groom yet. Oh Boy.
