Ava is 6 weeks old!

Ava is doing a lot of smiling and cooing...it's pretty cute. Trying to capture it on video can be difficult, here is my best try so far.


Grace gets a tattoo

After a lot of contemplation, Grace finally agreed to getting a tattoo at the Saturday market. The last time I put a tattoo on her, she freaked out and wanted it off right away. When I reminded her of this, she said "Well, that was when I was 2. Now I'm 3 and I like tattoos". I had to take a video of how she walked to the car after getting the tattoo....notice how her arm hangs limply as if moving it will affect the tattoo.....

Happy 4th of July!

 We went out on the boat in the morning. Grace actually got in the water! But then she just wanted to hang out on the ladder. 


 This is what Ava did on the boat. At least she is festively wearing red white and blue.


 Getting ready to set off some fireworks! Grace preferred the small quiet ones. 


Ava's first fireworks experience. 


Here we are at the base of the mountain with a great view of the big fireworks show.
It is 2 hours past bedtime at this point.



This is Grace at 11:00 pm.

Grace singing to Ava


Ava is one month old



Ava is one month old already, and growing so fast! 
She has baby fat and rolls that I don't recall Grace ever having. 
She is healthy and beautiful, and we are all so happy to have her.
