Happy Birthday Nanny!

I want to start by wishing my Nanny a happy 69th birthday! Happy Birthday Nanny! We love you! This picture was taken last year at my Nanny and Poppy's 50th wedding anniversary party.

On Saturday, Bradley, Ava, and I made a surprise trip up to Princeton, KY for my Nanny's 69th birthday party. When we got there, everyone was carving pumpkins and having a great time. They were sure surprised when we showed up. We had a great time visiting with family and just hanging out. Ava slept the whole way there and the whole way home. She even stayed asleep after we got home and took her out of her car seat and put her into bed. I think she must have known how exhausted we were because she slept until 7:00 the next morning. Here are some pics from this weekend.

And this is hands down my favorite picture from this weekend. Ava and her Gramps.

One week down...

I have successfully completed my first week back at school. It went very well and I am lucky to have some great kids this year. Ava is growing so fast, and I already feel like I am missing out on a lot of things. She is growing and changing every day and I am just amazed by what a great baby she is (at least most of the time!). Bradley says that this is Ava's business suit outfit and she needs to be carrying a briefcase when she wears this!
This is my favorite new outfit that she has. I took this picture on Friday and then I washed it that night so she could wear it again on Saturday when we went to Kentucky. I will post some of those pics later.
