Day One Hundred and Twenty-One

Simple Sunday...

I think Sunday's are the best days for relaxing and spending time together.  The next day is Monday and you don't want to start Monday out exhausted from your weekend.  That's the fastest way to guarantee that you will spend the rest of your week exhausted...never able to catch up. 

Today we ran a few errands and then spent the rest of the day enjoying time together, playing in the yard, and even got a chance to pull out Ava's pool.  It has been a nice day. 

Day One Hundred and Twenty

Fun in the Sun...

Today we tried to take a trip with Ava but it was one big phenomenal failure.  Ava is now...I almost positive...teething AGAIN.  She runs fevers and gets cranky and looses her appetite so it is all adding up. 

We did get a chance to introduce her to the sprinkler and she seemed to enjoy it.  The water was cold and from time to time would shoot up high and scare her. 

We had to put her shoes on her because she kept wanting to run down the driveway and across the rocks.

Day One Hundred and Nineteen

Bugs...

We took Ava to the park and realized she has another new word.  Today's word is "bug".  She is starting to average a new word just about every day now.

Here she was in the morning watching herself on the computer.  She loves watching her videos.

Days One Hundred and Sixteen thru One Hundred and Eighteen

Where to Start???

I guess Tuesday would be appropriate but wow...it has been another too long, too crazy, too much week.  Ava woke up in the middle of the night or should I say 2am Tuesday morning throwing up.  So as you can guess Tuesday was a charmer.  I missed class and have found myself behind at the end of the semester where there is no room to be behind.  Here was a quick snapshot from Tuesday.  It was taken simply to have something to show.

Wednesday was a bit better but not much.  We tried everything we could think of for Ava to eat.  I thought she may like chicken noodle (which she likes not sick) but I just ended up with noodles on the floor.  She  did however eat rice cereal with applesauce.  Go figure cause she wasn't a fan of that stuff back when I use to try to feed it to her.

Thursday was another long day of me trying to make up and get caught up.  I felt about how this plant is feeling.  Like it's time for a new pot or in my case a break.

Now if I can go figure out how to change the date of these so they post under April and not May.  I can't believe it's May.

Day One Hundred and Fifteen

Traces of Angels...

If you ever go into the house of a family member on my Mom's side you may find a lot of loose change in odd places.  More specifically pennies in various places like window sills, tops of toilets, counter tops, even on the floor,  and under tables.

It became a tradition to leave pennies where they were found after my Aunt Penny died.  I grew up knowing no different and just thinking of it as good luck.  It's like my Aunt was there looking out for us.

Now I only got pictures of a few pennies because I suffer from a sever case of being completely scatterbrained which has only gotten worse since I got pregnant with Ava.  I happened to be half way through packing Aaron's lunch so I couldn't venture too far from my task or I was liable to never get back and finish it.  And Yes I realize that I just admitted that I stopped packing Aaron's lunch because I remembered I needed to take a picture.

Days One Hundred and Eleven through One Hundred and Fourteen

Catching up is hard to do...

Two more weeks of this semester then hopefully it's back on track for me at least blog wise.  Here is what the last few days have been about.

Wednesday was a LONG day and I didn't even go anywhere.  Aaron ended up sick so I stayed home with Ava instead of going to class.  That is the first time this semester that I have had to miss a class so all in all that's no too shabby.

My friend on Wednesday (homework, homework, homework...I'd be screwed without my laptop)

Aaron's friend on Wednesday and all week for that matter (I don't know how he can drink this...I'd be getting sick again just from trying to drink it)

Thursday I didn't have class because my teacher had to go out of town.  Ava and I went up to Nan and Pop's to visit anyways.  It through Ava off because she kept worrying that I was going to leave and wouldn't really settle enough to take a nap so we had to leave after lunch.  Pop's brother (Uncle) Jimmy and his wife came with lunch for everyone and it was nice to get to see them. I had gone to quiz Nan on some of the family history.  Years ago Nan started working on our Genealogy and I am working on it again.  I have all of her information combined with the wonderfulness that is the internet.  I have already found some really cool things.  This is my summer project...I am really getting excited for a trip to the State archives....I LOVE history.

O and an update on the potty training.  Ava is using the potty consistently at least 2-3 times a day.  Still a long way to go but she is getting the idea.  Hopefully by the end of summer we can be done with diapers.

Now Friday left me with more homework and family history to research.  Normally on Friday's I take Ava to a park or out somewhere but it's been a chilly week.  We played in the yard and then when Aaron came home we had to run up to his work and drop off some paperwork.  Seeing as it was rush hour we killed some time by taking Ava to a park we use to take our nephew to when I was pregnant.  Ava had fun but it didn't have swings so she got bored semi-quick.  Then we drove over to Toys R Us in hopes of finding some cool outdoor toys but that didn't really go as planned either.  Ava did get a patio chair and her new priced possession.  She saw this dark pink extra large bouncy ball and had to have it.  She held on to it and smiled the whole way home :)

I also noticed that my tomato plant has itty bitty tomatoes growing on it.  So exciting...

Saturday we went to the amish market and picked up some asparagus, jarred green beans, fresh local honey (good for seasonal allergies), some cinnamon buns, and banana bread...yum yum.

Now as far as today goes, the weather man lied.  I thought it was suppose to be nice today but so far it's drizzly, cold, and dreary just like yesterday.  Boo for crappy weather.  I am just hoping my morning coffee will help me stay up and motivated today.

Phew...what a relief it is to be caught up.  I really hope these next two-three weeks don't completely do me in.

Day One Hundred and Ten

More Videos...

I needed a break and videos seem to change things up just enough for me. Here is my "draft" post from Tuesday that I forgot to click submit on....oops. (or in Ava language...uppz).
