I've been in somewhat of a blogging funk. I have thought about sitting down to blog several times, but just never wanted to put forth the energy to actually write out a post. These days all my energy is being exerted at work, running, chasing after a 1 year old, cooking, cleaning...the list could go on...so when I actually sit down the last thing I want to do is write! I also have a couple of books that are waiting on me and I just haven't wanted to dive in- I am being lazy- with a capital "L". A few weeks ago we went to a birthday party of a son of a couple in our small group. Their little boy was turning 5. They are a very sweet family :) Ava was so cute in her party attire! She had a great time playing with this little toy- even though she has a similar one at home and she rarely played with it. We walked in and she saw a little boy playing with it and after watching for a few minutes, she joined in on the fun. Since this party, her toy has brough on a new meaning.
Still playing....really, all the commotion going on and all the kids running around, she was just as content playing with this toy.

Pass the remote please?
I'm sitting here watching tv and playing on the computer thinking I should "get the lead out" and get some things done around the house since itty bitty is asleep. Instead I'm watching the Disney Channel because Ava fell asleep while watching it and I just haven't felt the need to reach for the remote and change it...or it could just be that my life now revolves around the Disney Channel and truth be told I even get a little excited when a new episode of Wizards of Waverly Place is advertised....let's not let that get out- it might change the image people have of me.
In all honesty, I watch way more Disney Channel than any adult should be allowed to watch. Unless Adam is home and it is quickly changed to something sports related, that is until I can find the appropriate time to slide in the fact that "Ava" would much rather watch the Disney Channel. At which point he would kindly say, Ava is playing in her room...where there isn't even a TV......I'm hopeless, I have just admitted to the world that I am a Disney Channel addict. Hi, I'm Stephanie, and I have a problem.
I'm sure Adam would be thrilled if I would give the whole Disney thing a rest, but I justify my endless hours of Disney Channel watching with the claims that it is "thoughtless tv watching" and "brings me back to my days of being a kid" and we all know that it is my love for the characters and the thought-provoking story lines that exist in each program.
Did I really just take up an entire post to talk about my tv watching addiction? Apparently I needed an excuse to keep my lazy self sitting in the reclined postion on the couch, knew my fingers needed a good workout and I would exert very little enegy with this particular workout.
Speaking of workouts and the real reason I began this self-shaming post- Adam and I are training for the River Run.

Daddy comes for a visit
Last week Adam worked in Callahan for a few days and the week before he actually worked 2-10 in the evenings so he was able to keep Ava during the day and we would switch right before he left for work. Last Wenesday he came by to eat lunch with us and Ava enjoyed him being there so much. Especially when he would read books with her and ride her around on her 4-wheeler.

Secrets with Memaw
Memaw fell on December 27th and they had to take her to the hospital. The scans showed that she broke her hip so they had to perform surgery and then she had to be moved to rehab. Because of the new laws in the hospitals Ava wasn't allowed to go see her. We had to wait to see her when she came home. Nana called as soon as she was settled and we went to visit. She was exhausted and so glad to be home. We visited with her for a little while and went back
see her on Monday. From the pictures, Ava seemed to bring out the little girl in Memaw.
I'm not sure what secrets were being passed between the two- but it sured looked fun!

A Beautiful Day
After the disastrous weather we had yesterday, tornado warnings and all, we needed a day with good weather to exert some energy. Today was absolutely beautiful, the weather was perfect in every way. We went outside to play around for a little while.Adam was hitting with his golf clubs and Ava decided she wanted in on the action. Now, before you all starting thinking I am the overprotective parent that makes my child wear a helmet to hit golf balls- let me just say that golf is a dangerous sport- haha! Ava was actually wearing the helmet because she had been riding her tricycle.
Here she is studying her next shot
