Ready to hunt some eggs in the dark

Tonight we had some super fun finding Easter Eggs in the dark. The night started with the Easter Bunny sky diving onto the field...it was AWESOME!! Since Ava was in the younger group, it had just gotten dark when her egg hunt started (8:00). She did such a great job getting the eggs and had a great time with all of her friends. Even though the hunt was a little after her bed time, we figured we could be flexible one night with her bed time. The night Easter egg hunt was a great way to start spring break and celebrating Easter!!

Today was such a beautiful day that we decided to have a fun morning with friends. Ava started the morning by wearing her bunny ears around the house. We then went to the park, played and had a picnic. It was a great day, other then Ava having a stinky accident in her pants. Oh the joys of potty training!

Spring is coming...yeah!

Beautiful day...with my beautiful girl

Racing Mommy

This afternoon we headed out and had some yummy ice cream. Before we went for ice cream, I asked Ava if she wanted ice cream and she said in her clearest voice said, "Okay, lets go get some ice cream!" So very thankful that Ava's speech is coming along so well. After we had ice cream, we drove up to Red Top mountain to drive around and look as some of the new, incredible neighborhoods. The views were absolutely beautiful. It was just a wonderfully, simple afternoon.

Today Ava started a new program at speech therapy. Her play speech group is now made up of just 3-4 year olds. Also, the program is set up to be a little bit more structured and geared to challenge her and her little friends a more in their speech development. Today was amazing! Ava's attention span was great. She followed directions and had a great time with her friends. By the end of the time at play therapy, I was so very, very proud of Ava and how she surprises me everyday with how far she has come in her life!

I am so very proud, thankful and blessed to be Ava's mommy! It may take her a little longer and she may have to work a little harder at things, but she always accomplish the task in front of her. She faces every challenge with a smile on her face and such a sweet spirit! "I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who gives me strength!
