Ava loves Santa

Ava got this adorable shirt in the mail on Friday. Thanks Aunt Sheila! Ava was very excited to wear it to school today. She was also excited to ride the bus. Daddy was in the boonies in Virginia for a meeting so we took the bus and metro to school/work. It makes the fact that Ava's school is 3 building down from my office fantastic!

Sooo Silly

Our trip to meet Raya

4 weeks later we finally had a chance to meet Raya Berman. She is tiny, adorable, and so alert! Ava held her gently and gave her kisses. This was the smallest baby Ava had ever seen. She is going to be a great big sister someday!

A kiss for Rusty

Since Ava was born Rusty has pretty much kept his distance generally only coming close enough to steal her food. It makes these moments rare and precious!

A picture with Santa

We are wo

rking up to our picture with Santa. Last week we went to Rio and Ava waived to Santa but was a little scared. This week we tried to get her to take a picture with this Santa statue. As you can see it went really well :)
