S.Cal

Last weekend we took a road trip to Southern California to visit Ava's great grandpa & grandma Penner. Along the way we stopped in Solvang and had a great time walking around town. We also visited an Ostrich and Emu Farm!

I just love the look on this Ostrich's face.

Good Night Ava

Ava's dad is the one who usually puts Ava to bed so I really don't know what is going on upstairs while she is getting ready for bed. The other night I heard her laughing hysterically so I had to go up and see what was going on. She was jumping up on the bed! This child is crazy, even though she is exhausted, she is able to find enough energy to keep on playing. The funny thing is you ask her "Ava are you getting sleepy" and she responds by lying her head down....so sweet :)

Ava Knows Her Books

About a month ago I asked Ava where her "Goodnight Moon" Book was and to my surprise she walked over and picked it up. I was amazed and thought she just might know the word book. So, I continued to ask her more book titles and she would go right over to the correct book and point to it. She has been doing this for a while and I finally got Mark to record us quizzing her.
