Eagles

Ava and Nick went to see the bald eagles when you could park on the side of the road to go watch them. (The police decided it was too dangerous with the large amount of traffic and you can't do it anymore.) When they got there Ava announced to the crowd, "Look Daddy, it's an eagle!" She impressed everyone! I didn't get to see them in real life, but that nest looks HUGE and the babies are massive! What a great experience!

Like Mommy

Who do you think Ava is sitting like here? Sorry the picture is so dark, but it was too cute not to share!

Getting ready for baby...

Ava wanted to make sure the glider was safe for her little brother....I guess it passed the test with her baby! I think it may be an issue when you can get into the glider on your own, buckle yourself in and turn the gliding motion and the music on all by yourself!!! (The band-aids aren't for injuries, Ava just likes them!)

Mulch

We got a large load of mulch and Ava had a great time helping spread it!! Actually, climbing the "mountain" but so much for details!!

Finger Paint!!!

Do I need to say anything? Finger paint was quite fun to play with...after Ava decided it was OK for her hands to be dirty! She is too cute, to say the least. I have the masterpieces on display on the living room table, but I am not sure what to do with them now!! Do I keep them forever?

Rain, rain, rain!!!

"Placing" the worms on her picnic table..

The minute Ava sees that it is raining she NEEDS her umbrella and MUST go outsite. We decided that it was warm enough to venture out into the rain to see the worms on the driveway and to use the Dora umbrella. Thank you so very much, Grandma, for the umbrella!

Spring with Grandma

Looking for clouds!

Here are some photos from Grandma's camera of Ava, armed and ready for spring: juice-CHECK!, sunglasses- CHECK!, bucket-CHECK! They have such a wonderful time together, it is great to see their daily routine in action!
