Finally

Ava had her 9 month photo shoot today and we Finally caught those smiles on camera. Our photographer, Angela, (angelacourtneyphotography.com) came over this afternoon. Ava was much more cooperative than during her last photo shoot. I'm anxious to see the pictures.

We've had a great weekend. It started off on Friday when we got to have lunch with Jenny and Baby Nora. Nora was a superstar and slept/quietly hung out while we were eating. We then went over to Edelweiss Baby so that we could introduce Nora to a life of hats, headbands, and big flowers. :) We can't wait to see her modeling her purchases!

Saturday morning Daddy had to work. When he got home we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Veldman's. Ava hung out with the guys while Grandma and I went to the store to get some groceries for the upcoming holiday week. We're lucky enough to have Lisa, Brent, Jordan, Ali, Zacky, Ellen, Reece, as well as Grandma & Grandpa Becker coming to visit for Thanksgiving. We're just really hoping that we don't get a big snowstorm on Wednesday night. Anyway, Uncle Wes came over as well so Ava got to play with him. We ordered in some yummy Chinese food, and hung out for the evening. laughing as Uncle Wes and Daddy reminisced about the good ol' days (Uncle Wes was on a roll). Ava was such a good girl. We put her down to bed at Grandma & Grandpa's in her pack and play, woke her up for the drive home (she talked to the whole way home), changed her, and put her in her crib. She put herself to sleep again for the rest of the night. I thought that I might have to feed her again, but she was just fine. We are so blessed to have such a good little girl.

We woke this morning to an ice rink outside our house. We had rain all night and it froze on the roads instantly. After watching the news, where they said that travel is not recommended, we opted to stay home from church this morning. I walked to the mailbox, or rather slid there. It was unbelievable. I'm so grateful that we didn't have to go anywhere this morning! I'm hoping that it doesn't refreeze tonight since I do have to go to work in the morning.

Big news from Ava...she's getting another tooth. She has one of her top front teeth coming in. Just in time for a Thanksgiving feast!

We hope that you all had a wonderful weekend, and wish you all safe travels if you're heading out of town for Thanksgiving.
