One Year Old!

This Thursday is Ava Katherine's 1st birthday! We're very excited and to add to that excitement, Saturday is Stephen's graduation! This week promises to be fun filled, with family starting to arrive on Thursday.

Last Friday, to commemorate Ava's first birthday, Ava and Mommy with Nana and Grampa in tow, went to have Ava's pictures taken. The pictures don't arrive for another couple of weeks, but in the meantime, here is a preview :)

Little Miss Ava, or rather Mommy and Daddy's Big Girl! is walking now, officially. She walks all over and we have noticed in the past few days, that she now seems to get even more annoyed when she is in the stroller or carseat, since she is even more mobile than ever. She is saying more words everyday, like Nana and Mommy and Daddy (transformed from Mama and Dada), and we're even working on Jesus now. She actually said it yesterday, pretty clearly, but of course, at her own will, and never on command. :)

Well, that's it for now. Gotta start getting the house ready! Hope everyone is doing well!
