Georgia on my mind...

Ava and her beautiful cousins Tilly and Elinor Ava loves being center of attention! Davis is so handsome! Ava loves her Aunt Julie Cousin Tilly Cousin Elinor Dean teaching the kids how to hold Ava

We were very fortunate to make a stop on our move to one of our favorite places, Marietta Georgia. We just can't pass up a chance to have some of their good southern cooking! Ava had a great time hanging out with her Warme family. Before we know it Ava will be chasing after her cousins outside. We are hoping to return for a visit sometime this summer if Greg has leave. We will miss living so close to them.

Greg loves the goat as an alumni of USNA Hi Goat Baaaaa Sheep Talking with the cow

You could feed the giraffe! Greg feeding the giraffe (he had an 18 inch tongue- ew) This past weekend we took a trip to the local Zoo. We couldn't ask for better weather (low 70s) or more entertaining animals. Ava loved watching the monkeys and feeding the giraffe. She has now started "talking" (making lots of different noises in her own made up language). She often wakes us up by "talking". It is a big improvement from screaming. In moving news, the Navy movers have surprised us by announcing that they will be coming a day early. It has been a mad dash to get everything in line before their arrival. We are really excited though that we get to stay a night in Marietta with the Cones & Fulchers on our journey to Virginia. We are very blessed to be staying with Becca's friend Christine in Chesapeake while we house hunt in Virginia Beach (she is a saint). We will update everyone with our contact information once we have found a house.

Happy Valentines Day!

Miz Cupid Greg says she looks like an old pudgy Hollywood actress who has her wig off with the bow and sunglasses- HA! Very Happy Baby In her adorable Valentines Outfit from Grandma Lita

Graduated to the Bath Tub!

She is starting to enjoy baths now (before she acted like she was getting a root canal) She loves to suck on cold glasses Queen of the castle playing drums! Wanting to chew on her drum sticks more

Her partner in crime She can sort of sit up on her own

Happy Valentines Day to all! This week we have been running errands for the move. We are almost set for our big day next Friday. Ava is still teething and is waking up more in the night because her teeth hurt. We are trying all the home remedies and teethers and they seem to settle her down more. Her Daddy makes her laugh when he plays tickle monster and it still is the sweetest sound.

Special Brithday Today

Ava sending love to Aunt Candace!

She wouldn't let go of her Aunt Candace
