Family, Family, & more Family!

Still keeping busy as ever here but Eric managed to get an entire week off from work we actually got some time away to spend with family. Aside from Jenna's panic attacks from being away from home she quickly got the hang of travel and cried when it was time to return home. She is anxiously awaiting our next Grandma Walker visit...she especially misses her tree:)


Ava had a blast other than her unusual fussiness but all was forgiven after 3 new teeth popped thru on Friday. She quickly went back to her normal sweet...uh...fiesty but happy self. The girls both turned out to be great campers and both slept wonderful in our tent. We braved thru the rain and surprisingly stayed dry. Jenna, normally scared of the storms, was eager to find puddles and do rain dances in the showers. All Jenna talks about is Anna Banana, Shelby and Owen.


And Jenna caught her first fish!

Our 4th was nice and quiet this year. Eric made it home in time for the fireworks on the Lake. Our neighborhood sets off a show right on the lake so with our neighbors we sat on the clubhouse grounds and watched the show.

So after a fun weekend at Grandma's and camping we are back home for little Ava's first birthday! Really we can't believe it is that time already! Still she refuses to walk, she is very independent and if you hold her hands to encourage walking she just drops to the floor but she will walk with any object or along the walls and furniture as long as it is self instigated. We are so excited for her Birthday Party this weekend! Nice backyard fun with swimming and bounce house, sure to be fun and tiring so she is sure to sleep well...yeah right!
