Lots of crying lately...

We are on day 3 of fever with Ava's 2 newest teeth. With the fever has come high irritability, clinginess, and more fits than usual. With my inevitable return to school on Monday, we have been trying to get Ava to start drinking whole milk since she now refuses formula and the bottle. So far, no dice. She hates the milk and is now starting to avoid the sippy cup because milk may be in it. I have been spoon feeding her milk, but very limited amounts because she just won't open up. And ever since our return from KY Ava doesn't want to sleep in her bed and cries and she used to get in bed with no problems. Nap time is also war time. She is sitting in bed crying as we speak. So needless to say, things at the Rogers' house are pretty bleak this week. I just wished that our last week had been much better, but what can you do?

Anyway, I am posting some pics from a couple of weeks ago and then I am all caught up for now. I am still waiting on a film return from Wal-Mart which should be available on Monday. I probably won't post again until next week. Potter Book #7 comes out tonight at midnight and I expect I'll be busy! Have a great weekend!

She loves to unpack things!

Our Ky Trip

I know that I am behind in posting and still have a few pics from a couple of weeks ago to post. I am also going to be a little behind because I have been using our film camera a little more so I have to wait to have film developed. But I will post as I have things ready which may not be as often, especially with school starting next week (insert crying sounds here!). I did take some pics with our digital in KY so here they are.

The first one is of Bradley and Ava at the rehearsal dinner.

Ava has developed the fascination with the toilet. Getting ready for a bath at the hotel.

You can tell she didn't like being on the zebra's back.
And last but not least, before we left the hotel, Ava spilled out her brand new jar of puffs all over the nasty floor at the hotel. She then proceeded to eat several before we got them cleaned up. I am sure the cleaning staff really appreciated us!

Like I said, I have taken more pictures, but I have to wait until the film is developed. I will post those next week when they return (because for some reason Wal-Mart is still on a holiday schedule). The downside of film, it takes forever!

5 years later...

Thanks to you all who remembered our wedding anniversary. I didn't get a chance to post anything on Friday because we were so busy getting ready to leave for the wedding. How funny is it that we spent out anniversary celebrating the beginning of someone else's marriage? It wasn't exactly how I imagined spending my 5th anniversary, but it was fun.

So thanks to those who remembered us.

• Bethany - thanks for posting on the blog


• Steve, Mandy, and the kids - thanks for remembering us here on the blog


• Uncle Earl and Aunt Rosemary - thanks for the card


• Mom and Dad - thanks for the card


• Anne and Joe - thanks for the card, movie gift certificates, and offer to babysit for free (though for some reason, I don't see that babysitting as much of a hardship ;)

We stayed so busy this weekend that we didn't get to put our shoes on the tree at MSU, so I guess we will just have to wait until another time...

Anyway, here is a picture from now and a picture from then. The new photo was taken Friday night, after our actual hour of wedded bliss, so it is exactly 5 years to the day of our wedding. I will post more pics from the weekend later.
