March in a Post-

In March we...

Enjoyed some warmer weather at the zoo & playground.

Ava often sleeps with her arms up around her face, sleeping babes are so sweet.

Owen lined up his cars for a car game he made up and Aunt JoAnna was lucky she stopped by on her way home from school to play it.

This girl loves to be outside! Got ready for the cold all by herself.

This picture goes along with another that I didn't think was appropriate for the blogging world of Ava's nap one day. So while Matt was on his last trip to China for work Ava got a nasty cold and ear infections that made it hard for her to sleep and on this particular day she really needed a nap and I really needed her to have a nap to give me a break from a tired, cranky little girl. When I layed her down I made the mistake of giving her this book. She started ripping up the pages when I left. I could hear her ripping it up over the monitor and had the dilemma of saving the book or just staying upstairs to enjoy some alone time. For a while I chose the alone time but soon the ripping noise got to me and I went down & saved about half of the book and left her to hopefully fall asleep. I checked on her awhile later to find that she had taken off all of her clothes and her diaper and was sleeping snuggled up to her blanket. She did eventually make it to sleep and got a much needed nap and I got the much needed alone time. Funny girl.

To celebrate Matt coming home from his China trip this Sunday, Ava wore this pretty Chinese dress. She loved it and calls it her China princess dress.

Our first picnic in our backyard- hooray for spring!

Blowing bubbles!

St. Patrick's Day- A fun day for a little boy who's favorite color is green.
