July and Mimi and Papaw visit....

We went to San Saba so we could show off how big Ms. Ava got since they last saw her and she did so well on the 3 hour ride there! We even saw Sister and Aunt Linda! They said she was a beautiful baby and they are right!!! She's a doll. It was a great visit with them, I am so glad they got to see her hopefully we will make another trip up there on a weekend and then go to Abilene to see them. Shane's been wanting to take me to see his old stompin' grounds. I think it will be a fun trip!!

I posted pictures of Ava's goat, Ava's Angel, that little goat is the cutest thing. We got to feed it and I think I may have caused a bit of a problem... each time I went to feed it I put it in the golf cart with us and now it wants to nurse the golf cart! Sorry Mom and Dad!!!

We spent our 4th of July weekend running all over visiting everyone and we had a blast!!! We went to see Nana on Friday, she loves seeing Ava because she broke her foot and can't get out much! We went to the Bombers game that night and sat with the Johnson's. The music was really loud and a loud train came through and it didn't even phase Ava, she slept through it all! I really thinks she likes loud noises! Then we went to see Kathi and Janice on Saturday. Kathi had hip surgery and her mom was down staying with her and they just loved seeing the baby! I had a good time with them too! Then that afternoon we went to the Berndt's for a little get together with all the kids and we had a blast!!! The food was great, the company was great and seeing all the kids play together was fun because it won't be long before Ava will be running around with them! They had a little kids pack of fireworks and the kids had a good time watching them. Ava slept the majority of the time. Sunday we went to church and now we are lounging around the house... getting it picked up and also relaxing!

God is truly amazing! We are so blessed, I can't say it enough, to have a beautiful family and a wonderful daughter. She's so good and I hope it stays that way!!!!

Love to all,
Jackie, Shane and Ava

Month 2!

Well, we are doing fantastic! We have a routine and it's working so well. Ava usually goes to sleep around 9:30pm and the sleeps to about 2:00am or 2:30am and then she will usually sleep from then til about 6:00am and then til 8:00am then nap through out the day at her leisure. She has her rough time of the day usually between 5:00pm and 9:00pm and is a little fussy but nothing we can't handle! I can't believe how good she is. She hardly gets upset about anything and LOVES being outside. It could be a thousand degrees outside and she wouldn't care! I can't wait until she's a little older so we can put her in her swimming pool! I'm sure she will love it because she loves to take a bath! I am really not looking forward to her two month shots, we go on the 19th and I'm dreading it. I think we just got through her 6 week growth spurt, it was a little rough but we did it! It was much easier than the 3 week growth spurt, I didn't know that she was going through one then and I thought I'd was feeding her too much and no one told me about it until after she was finished with it! Ava is truly a blessing and I will try to update more, I know I'm slacking but it's a little difficult... I'm sure I'll get the hang of it though.

6 weeks and other pictures!


Ava and her goat! Ava's Angel is the goat's name.
