DOUBLE TROUBLE

Ava is enjoying her new pink exersaucer from Grandma Margaret and Rylan will join her in his old one!! Hopefully he won't break it!

OUR HOUSE

Siding on the dormers.


Sewer tanks -- lovely.


Master bath.


Slate.


Front door and steps.


View of the front.


What a view!

The house is just about done as far as the outside goes! Just a few finishing touches! They dry-walled 2 rooms yesterday, so the inside will start taking shape over the next few weeks! I am struggling to make sure I have all the room paint colors picked out and decorating ideas planned! AAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHH!

Kisses

Silver and pink bandaids

Brotherly-sisterly love


Ava had her 6 months visit to the pediatrician. She is 15# 14 oz and 24 something inches! She is just like Rylan was at 6 months -- now completely screams and cries througout the whole exam! Dr. Acevedo is awesome as usual. Rylan was very concerned about her and didn't want her to have shots. But then he was very sweet afterwards - "It's okay, sweet pea, you're all right" he said over and over.

Dedication

Ava was dedicated at church last Sabbath. We barely made it in time as she was taking a long nap at home and I wanted her to be in a good mood!!! But, we made it through! Didn't get a chance to give my camera to someone, so I'll have to put pictures up later when I get some from other people! Thanks to cousin Addy for loaning her dedication dress! Made it even more special!

VISITORS!

We've had a string of visitors lately! After a weekend with the Brooks, my friend Melissa came to preach at a nearby church (a very enjoyable and informative sermon) and then came to visit and reminisce with us for a Sabbath! We then enjoyed this whole last week with Grandmamoto while my mom went to Phoenix to visit David. What a fun week we had, and Rylan just LOVED it! He even asked for Grandmamoto to put him to sleep! Thanks Grandmamoto for babysitting and hanging out with us!
