It's my Birthday and I'll cry if I want to!

Yes, today I turn 28 (as you can almost see by the numbers made by candles on my cake). I'm not feeling too old yet, just tired, but that's part of being a Mom. Jeremy made my cake last night and couldn't wait to eat it, so we started the celebration early. In a little bit we are going out to dinner at Outback Steakhouse, yummy! Ava & I cruised the Mall today and picked up our family pics we took last week. I'll have to scan them on the computer and post them. They got some great shots of Ava. Our family pic for Christmas cards is okay, nothing spectacular. Anyway, I got money early from Jeremy for my birthday and have been buying new clothes for the last week or so, got some cute stuff. But I cannot find ANY good skirts for church, or dresses. All my skirts are older and there is nothing out there, maybe because its winter, I don't know. Its a bummer.

So guess what my new callings in church are now??? Nursery leader!!!! And Enrichment committee member. Could not be happier about Nursery, since Ava is a handful in class and we end up in the hall or going home early. So she now gets to go to Nursery (5 months early) and she loves it. It's been fun the last couple sundays, just playing w/ the little ones. My other calling is also keeping me busy right now, we just did our Super Saturday, which I had to help out w/ all day w/ Ava in tow! And we have a RS dinner to plan and do in 2 weeks. Oh well, I'll try to be as much help as I can.

Here are some funny pics of Ava and Daddy. She was standing on the computer chair and started brushing Jeremy's hair. But she'd grab a big handful of his hair to hold on and brush w/ the other hand. It was cute!

Almost forgot, Ava is starting to take some steps! She'll walk back and forth between us and other objects, soon enough she'll be running around and all will be chaotic!
