First Post...

Well I guess daddy has to set this up, but soon mommy is going to learn how, so daddy can get back to his day job! As this is the first posting pictures would be appropriate... so here goes:
(sorry to those who didn't get the emails)

Ava hanging out in the car seat... note the bumper pads for her head.

Here is lil misses Ava taking a nap with the ladybugs.

This moment of playtime was bitter sweet... she did end up
getting the red chicken, but on the down side she hit herself
in the nose :-(
