Visiting Family

Sorry it's been so long since my last update. It has been a busy few weeks for us. As I said in my previous post, Jonathan and I helped out at our church camp for a week. We had a great time getting to know the kids. It was also a great spiritual bond between all the staff leaders that were able to be apart of the week. I did surprisingly well without Ava. I knew she was in good hands but also we were so busy all day at camp that I didn't have a minute to think about her, which was a blessing! Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of the week. (There are plently of pictures on Facebook posted by the kids!)
As far as what we've been up to, well, we've been busy seeing family. This week Ava and I went to my grandma's house. My sister, brother, mom and dad were there as well. My brother, Jeromy, has never met Ava, so it was great seeing him and his two precious boys. If my brother would've let me, I would've taken those boys home with me. They were so sweet!

Here are all the kids minus Ava. We were having snack time in the car waiting very patiently to leave.

It was so fun getting to see my family again. It's a little crazy when we're all together, but it's always worth the craziness!

Aww... it's so fun to see the kids together! You seriously need to get Ava a bow like that to go with every outfit. I love it! But then I would - it's so girly!
