Our weekend

Saturday we had a lazy morning around here. Brian woke up with Ava and they played and watched Sesame Street. We have the vintage DVD's from the first 2 seasons and they are the best! Ava loves them. They're fun for us to watch too as they bring back memories from our childhoods. I prefer them to the new ones. And then Ava watched Brian do some work while she played in his office. Then I watched her while he napped. We have a whole system here and it works very well! We all still get our naps which is very important. After he woke up he watched her while I got to go out by myself to run errands. I do not mind getting out with her during the week because she does great in the stroller most of the time. But she has her limit and it's about 2 hours. And that's from getting in the car to getting home. So I have to factor in the drive and shopping and the drive back and that doesn't leave much errand time. So it was nice to go alone--I got a lot done! And while I was gone, Brian cleaned the sofa!! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

We grilled out steaks that evening. The weather was pretty nice. Ava decided she wanted to wake up around 8pm and wasn't ready to go back down until 10:30 that little stinker. So I wasn't sure how church was going to go the next morning. But she woke up happy and was such a cheerful thing all morning! She was happy to see everyone at church. I think she's going to be a people person, our little social butterfly! Our intention all morning was to go to Sunday School and service but by the time we were all ready to go it was 10:15 already. We didn't get to the church until 10:30! So we were either really late for Sunday School or really early for service. I'll say we were early! Obviously we haven't perfected our getting ready routine. That'll come after some practice I hope. She did great in the nursery and when we went to get her she was just finishing her bottle and falling asleep. She was happy to see us though and let out a happy squeal when she saw her daddy! We ALL got to take a nap that afternoon--perfect!

We grilled out again Sunday night and ate out on the deck. The temperature outside was awesome and it wasn't humid at all. So nice. As it started to rain we moved it into the sunroom and opened the windows so we could listen to the storm. It was an all around relaxing weekend and I think we all feel very refreshed from it. We are enjoying Ava so much. I am just trying as best I can to soak in all the "baby-ness" while she's so small. I know she won't be a baby for long. She has already grown so much. We are really trying to enjoy every moment of every day with her. And that's not a difficult thing to do!

I'm going to add some recent pics soon. So be lookin' out for 'em!
