Viva Valdez: Spring Recap

Spring was a lot more relaxing for us than most seasons this year. Since I had my anatomy and physiology II class on Fridays and Saturdays we stayed in Virginia Beach most weekends. Ava started ballet and thinks that everyone should wear tutu's and leotards at all times. She is quite the flexible girl but unfortunately inherited the awkward dance moves of her parents. Luckily, her awkwardness is adorable and most likely disappear with practice. Ellie became our assertive little girl this Spring. She was determined to keep up with her big sister in all respects. She shows no fear and has a drive and will that I have never seen in a toddler before. She keeps the whole family laughing and on our toes. Greg worked crazy hours this spring to get a qualification for the squadron. However, for the first 3 months he had off on Fridays and watched the girls when I went to class. The girls looked forward to their daddy time each week so that they could wrestle, build forts, make up sporting games, and goof around.

Ava counted down the days to Easter because she was DYING to wear this dress and literally tried it on every morning.

Sadly, the Browns moved to California in May. We made the best of our last few months with them! One bright spot with us moving to California is that they will only be 3 hours away. We are already planning the weekend trips!
