The 3rd child

Ava is coming to find out what being the 3rd child is all about. She is at the mercy of her two older sisters. Here she lies defenceless on the floor with a shirt on her head.
The girls also think it's hilarious to put objects in Ava's hands because she can't figure out how to let go of them. (Note: the Polly Pocket in her right hand-a common object found in a house full of girls). The other day Eliza put a sock in her hand and tried to convince me that Ava had pulled it off by herself. I only believed it for a second.
Yes, being the 3rd child has it's ups and downs. But, our little girl just keeps smiling through it all.....and crying. We love you baby Ava!

You gotta love SISTERS!

It's a girl!

Our sweet little Ava was born on May 23, 2008. What an amazing experience it was. She was our smallest baby weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and 19 1/2 in. long.
It has been so much fun having a baby in our home again. The girls love having a little sister and they are such a big help. Although the last couple of months have been challenging, we absolutely adore our new baby girl- I mean how could you not love a face like that?!

Welcome to the 2000's!

Hello friends and family! Well, I'm officially welcoming myself to the "2000's". I recently aquired a cell phone and now I'm entering the world of blog. This is very exciting! I thought it might be fun to keep in touch with everyone this way and it also seems like a great way to keep a family diary. I'll keep it simple considering my four year old probably knows more about computers than I do! Should be fun. Hope you all enjoy checking in on us every once in a while. Here we go!!
