Home Again, Home Again
Aloha.
Well, we made it back from Oklahoma. And St. Louis. For an active 2 year old, Ava traveled remarkably well. I wouldn't want to be strapped into a car seat like that for 8 hours. Two days in a row. But she did great. Becky and I (and Ava) had a terrific time in St. Louis with David and Connie on either end of the week. Plus a wonderful time in Oklahoma for the week. Can't wait for the upcoming 2nd half!! Anyway, back to the pictures. I'll finish up this last era, and move onto more photos. Though I'm not sure where they will fall chronologically. It's a surprise. For you. And me. Uh...Enjoy!
As promised, the day after Ava's birthday. You'll notice the cup in her arms. That's from Nick and Rachel and Samantha. It's a sippy cup with a spill proof straw. They're Ava's cups of choice most days. It helps that Dora graces the decor.
Aunt Kimmy sent a box full of great gifts. Bubble wrap. Oh, and some toys or something. We ran up and down these paths of bubbles for a long time, chasing Ava as she giggled and ran. Very fun.
Sylin' baby! These fancy dress (play) gloves came in Ava's Easter basket from Gramma and Gampa. Very nice.
This towel/blanket bar used to be Mama's. She used to swing on it like Ava.
Our little Anna Pavlova.
Our little Fido. :^) This is how we eat pasta at home.
She just looks so grown up here. I'm in trouble, wouldn't you say?!
Oh what a look.
I love this outfit. Our friends have such classic taste. This is at my recent graduation.
See? Gown, cap and everything! Kidding aside, it was amazing to have my wife and daughter there as I received my degree. What an amazing moment to share with Becky and Ava. Without their love and support, it wouldn't have been possible. I cried a little when I looked up and saw them. Then I threw the "shaka" up, and Ava threw it right back at me. Amazing. Plus, my folks and Becky's came. What a great support system. I love you all. (Even those who weren't there. I know you're there for me in love, thoughts and prayers.)
Alright, enough sap. Ya'll get out there and enjoy the day. It's a Wonderful World.
Cheers.

I am looking at Ava on the "bars" and certainly marvel at her ability and agility. What a gal!!
