We went to the mall today, and joined the exclusive "dress your kid up nice and take a picture with Santa Claus" club. I do not trust those elves.....small hands, smell like cabbage, nomads you know.........anyway, here is our kid with the Jolly Man.

P.S. Devin wrote this blog.

Ava's big Day. Devin blessed Ava over Thanksgiving weekend on Friday because his family was in town. We blessed her at Devin's Brother house, and my family drove up too. This year we will be down with my family for Christmas, so I was lucky to see my family on both Holidays.

For Halloween Ava was only 2 weeks old so we kept Trick or Treating to a minimum. If you can't tell she is a little piggy.

I finally got pictures! These are from Halloween, Thanksgiving and her blessing. Also, i'm new at this, so any tips i'd be grateful for... good thing I figured out how to add pictures to a post before I jumbo sized one of me!

happy now dani?

This is for my dear friend from college Danielle, who told me it is time to get with the times. For those of you who don't know, it was about time because we just had a little girl on October 17 named Ava. Now I can put pictures of her in her Halloween costume, big bows, and what not... I think thats what these things are for. It was inevitable right? I'm not too concerned with what I write because about 5% gets read, but i'll work on getting some good pictures up!
