All about Ava

We just celebrated Miss Ava’s first birthday.  Looking at this picture, it seems hard to believe how quickly time has passed, how much she has changed. 

 

Travis and Angie have been a joy to watch as new parents.  They have been a good team and kept all of us Ava-baby-crazed family members in the loop and on the visitation rounds.  We have all been so crazy about this baby, I get to see all of my kids and family weekly!

I love seeing the four generations in this photo: me, my mom and Angie with Ava.

 The minute they call, we all stop whatever we are doing and prepare for the arrival of Ava.  We’re just such softies.  My son, Jarred loves this little girl.  I love seeing them together.

 She doesn’t have to try very hard to be the center of attention.  Emilee and Angie do a great job with photos – Ava is very well documented.  Can you believe those blue eyes?

 We are putty in her little pudgy hands.  She wants to walk so badly!

So, while I am traveling this week with Emilee to New York, this is what we are thinking about missing.  Thank goodness for computers, email and photo-bucket!  I can get my fill of her just about anytime as Angie is always updating Ava’s blog and sending us Youtube videos of Ava’s adventures.  These are tools I just didn’t have around when raising my kids – I can’t get over how wonderful technology and photography work together to keep us all close.

Emilee is my travel buddy for my New York trip, I will try to have some photos uploaded of the exciting city life.  This photo is of Emilee at work, she is studying Marketing and works at Intake Studios  here in Wichita.  And, this month, Emilee has a birthday, so I am sure another family get together will be in order and we can fight over who’s turn it is to hug and kiss on Ava!
