Getting ready for bed in Ava's room. Our nightly routine consists of dinner, bath in Ava's bath for both of them, family time in the playroom, reading books, rocking and tucking in. Griffin loves it when Ava comes into his room to rock with us. Some favorite books right now are.....Griffin: That's Not My Pirate, Goodnight Moon and Five Little Ducks and for Ava: whatever she picks up at the library, anything by Kevin Henkes and Fancy Nancy.

Celebrating Ryan's 34th birthday. Aaron was coincidentally in town from Switzerland for a quick trip and was able to make it to celebrate also. We went to Salsa's, our favorite neighborhood restaurant and came back home to eat ice cream cake.

The day of love! Valentine's day. I loved treating the kids and surprising them all day long. It's not often we get to splurge like that and it's just so fun. The morning started out with hearts lined outside of Ava's door telling her something we love about her, which led her to her gift of a purring kitty cat, bubbles and mini m&m's. Later that day I picked up a cookie cake and surprised them after dinner. So much fun!

It was the year of the nonexistent winter. With temperatures in the 60's, 70's, 80's as early as January, we have spent a vast majority of our afternoons outside playing with neighbors in the cul-de-sac. The kids insist I ride along on the equipment with them, and I can't say that I mind.

An early birthday celebration for Ava. Gigi and Poppy wanted to take Ava to the American Girl Doll store the weekend before her birthday because they knew that it would probably be too much for her to go on her actual birthday with her party and everything. She might have been on overload! She had a great time and picked Kit as her doll and Kit hasn't missed a thing since we've had her. She enjoys grocery shopping, puppet shows, movies, parks, and the library, to name a few.
