February 28, Day 32

Ava accomplished this in about 3 minutes...

February 27, Day 31

I wonder how many diapers we have been through.. Maybe I should keep count the next time around...

February 26, Day 30

BJ took Ava to the doctor today because she had a nasty sounding cough.  We found out she had an ear infection!  Poor baby!  I think the pink dropper that came with her medicine is fun!

February 25, Day 29

Usually I have seashells in this... at Christmas time I decided to decorate by putting ornaments in it.  Then we forgot to change them when we took down Christmas decorations...  I'm betting they'll be there till next Christmas...

February 24, Day 28

Ava was not the only one to enjoy her goldfish snack today.

February 23, Day 27

Ava loves to help her daddy cook.  We're hoping in a few years she'll take over cooking duties...

February 22, Day 26

This fat robin was hanging out on our front sidewalk.  Don't robins mean spring is on the way?

February 21, Day 25

Ava got this stroller at Christmas and we finally got it out to play with.  She loved putting the baby in and taking the baby out for a hug.  Then putting the baby back in, then repositioning it just right, then getting it back out and giving it a hug, again and again...

February 20, Day 24

Max proved he is good for something.  He alerted me that the UPS man (who did not knock or ring the doorbell) had left me a package.  I got some fun new scrapbooking things to use!  Ava was also very interested.  She carried around the stamp set for quite a while before I could get her to let go.

February 19, Day 23

I had kid duty tonight in small group.  This is the best I could get for a group picture.  They don't stay still for long!

February 18, Day 22

I was checking to see if Max needed any food and this is what I found!  They didn't last long, I broke out the Raid!

February 17, Day 21

I finished my first class for my IN license!  One more to go!

February 16, Day 20

Can you guess what she's doing?

February 15, Day 19

I just finished book #12... only 88 more till I reach my goal to read 100 books in 2009!

February 14, Day 18

Cael loves me, he loves me not...

February 13, Day 17

Poor Ava... She was so excited about the sale at Pottery Barn Kids, she didn't see that shelf right in front of her!

February 12, Day 16

We are on the search for new, easy recipes for dinner.  Any suggestions?

February 11, Day 15

Ava's baby quilt!

February 10, Day 14

One of my favorite candies!

February 9, Day 13

We took this picture on our walk in the beautiful weather.  We want winter to STOP!  Come on spring!

February 8, Day 12

This is part of one of Ava's toys.  This toy is slightly creepy.  It will turn on and make noises when no one is near it...

Day 11

Here is my favorite page from this weekend.  While the 12x12 is hard (yes, Brad, it is challenging), I am starting to get the hang of it.

Day 10

Tonight I was with friends, scrapbooking.  Pat let us come over to her house and use some of her stamps - she has over 500 stampin' up stamp sets!  (I thought you would enjoy this, Emily!)  Alas, I was not very productive.  12x12 layouts are hard!

Day 9

I just got our heating bill for January.  $260!!!!  Insane!  I'm ready for spring in more ways than one!

Day 8

I just mailed in the last payment on this car!  Hurray for no more car payments!

Day 7

Here is the mess where I attempt to scrapbook.  I'm scrapbooking Friday and Saturday - I'll be attempting the 12x12 pages.. so much space to fill up!

Day 6

Adi was over at our house while we were planning our Florida vacation.  She successfully scaled the baby gate.  It is evidently not Adi proof.

Day 5

Here are Ava's new curtains!  My mom made them after I found them in a Pottery Barn catalog.  I love them!
