Labor Day Weekend

Well, we are back from KY and after a day of rest, hoping we get back into a routine with Ava again. We left on Saturday at about 1:30 and on the way up to Ky we stopped at Bradley's aunt's house. Aunt Mary and Uncle Timmy got a chance to meet Ava. They both thought she was beautiful. Ava had slept all the way to Aunt Mary's house, but she got a little fussy in the car between Union City and Fulton and then she fell asleep again and slept all the way to Princeton.

Once she got to Princeton, she eventually got to meet her great-grandmother, Mammaw, her Aunt Donna and Uncle Ray, Ruth (lives across the street from my parents), Steve and Ali W., and tons of others.

On Sunday she went to church for the first time and got to meet lots of people. She did a good job there and slept through most of it. She never even cried in church. We had the cutest dress that she was going to wear, but minutes before leaving for church, she spit up every where and we had to change clothes!

After church, we headed to Cadiz for a family reunion. She met tons of people and was a very good baby. She spent lots of time being held by her great aunts - Aunt Judy, Aunt Sue, Aunt Linda, Aunt Donna, and Aunt Rosemary.

On the way back to Newbern she slept the entire way home. We stopped to pick up Squiggles at Bradley's parents' house and we stayed until after midnight. I knew that after sleeping all day there was no way to meet her 9:00 bedtime so we just stayed out late. She ended up home in bed by 1:00 in the morning and slept until almost 6. I was surprised at even that much sleep. Needless to say, we all napped together that afternoon.

So we are back home and tonight I hope to get her back into her routine of bath and bed by 9:00. I guess we will see, Ava has a mind of her own! I will try to post more pictures later, but right now the blogger is having difficulties.

Love, Tiff
