Last Day of November

Hi all...hope the weather is treating you well. 3 1/2 weeks till Christmas! Of course this year, it's Ava's first! How exciting :) We're spending Christmas Eve with my folks, then we leave Christmas day (in the morning, I hate the airlines and how they can just change your flight times from afternoon to 6am, just because!!) to spend a few days in South Carolina with Becky's folks. We'll be at Hilton Head for part of that week. A little time away from work will be nice. Plus it adds another state to Ava's travels, up to 4, all before she's 1!

Ava's doing well. She's teething still, so that's rough. How many more teeth will she get? Man, it'll be a long haul. But all we can do is try to make it better. So I broke out the whiskey and painkillers. Kidding...maybe? Anyway, it's hard when she doesn't want to come to me when she's this upset. Breaks my heart a little, but I know it's not personal. She likes brunette women more right now. We think, of course, because mama's brunette. She'll go to Becky, or our moms no problem. Put her in my arms and she screams. But, we just do what we can.

Here's some pics from this fall. Enjoy :)

Daddy's a daredevil!!! (and mama's a hottie!!!!!!!!)


Exploring the water Jaques Costeau-style.


"Ahhh...so relaxing. Keep going mama."


Before she decided dada was just no good.


Posing like Paris. Only not as...well, you know.


I said "Do an impression." She said "Food ready in ten minute!"


"I have what on my face?!"


Boy, there's no shortage of grandparent love for this little girl. My folks in the last post, Becky's here... So much fun.
