Uncle Corey

On Monday, Graham's brother came to visit us. Among other things, Corey is a fabulous writer, photographer, harmonica player, teacher, and blogger. With him, he brought his camera and some cool toys for Miss Ava. She loved her new harmonica that he gave her and I loved the great shots he captured of my little girl. Please check out one of my favorite blogs, Say Cheese? A blog of sorts, to read a little bit more about Corey and his time in Arkansas. Trust me, it is much more interesting than this blog.

Good day for the park

There was such a nice breeze today which made the park a lot of fun!

Only Because We Have To...

Because Ava Grace climbed out of her bed, we were forced to turn her baby bed into a toddler bed. I am nervous to see how she will handle the change.

Ava Grace's News

Ava Grace is happy to announce that she will be a a big sister around January 24, 2010.

This is how we told the news to our family a few weeks ago:\ I set up a blog and had them look at the pictures of AG in her new shirt. It took some of the fam a while to figure it out...I won't name names!

Long story short, we wanted to wait a little bit longer to spill the news.  We did not tell our news that we were expecting Ava Grace until we were 10 weeks along and heard her little heart beat. We had planned to do the same with this little one, but the news leaked. It's okay though--it is exciting news! We are so excited and still a little nervous, considering I'm only 7 weeks or so. Please keep us in your prayers!

Here is the proof. I took a blood test at the clinic plus this test to confirm that I am, in fact, pregnant!

And so it begins...

I heard a loud boom at nap time followed by an even louder scream. I ran into AG's room to see her laying on the floor! Oh my goodness! I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see her figuring that one out. By the way, she was not injured and now she is happily reading books on the couch and NOT napping. Mission accomplished!
