Because I don't have any GATOR clothes...

So these are for my husband, sister and father-in-law...Courtney got this for Ava and well, she did bring the Irish good luck in their bowl game...anyway, I was playing with my new camera and got a few cute shots, a rather random one of Julian too...enjoy!

Just because she's cute...

It's a snowy day, Julian is napping and Ava is awake so I thought I'd take a couple of new pictures of her...amazing how much she changes everyday...and I caught her first real smile...





The first real smile - so glad I was able to catch it!

Doctor...

Ava had her first Doctor's appointment today - she now weighs 10lbs 1 oz and has grown 1 inch! The doctor said she is a very healthy baby which is always good news! Here are some pictures on our way to the visit...






Am I cute or what???

Reflections...

Ava turns a month old today which made me realize how fast life really is! So, I decided to reflect back on 2008 with some of my favorite shots of Julian from each month - it is amazing how much she changed from month to month! I hope you enjoy these - I sure enjoyed looking through and remembering what a great year we had.

The girls...

So we've made it though the first few weeks of the new year...Julian is back in school and very happy to be there - she really loves her mornings. She is adjusting well to Ava and plays the roll of "big sister" very well. She is anxious to help change her diaper and give her a bath; and she loves to hold and kiss her! Ava is growing fast - hard to believe she is 3 1/2 weeks old already! Enjoy the pictures below...



Can we please go to school already???


3 weeks old



Even when she cries, Julian wants to hold her :)





And of course, GO GATORS!!!

On to 2009...

Hard to believe that Christmas and New Years have already come and gone - below are a few pictures of Julian and Ava for you to enjoy. We had a wonderful, but quiet, New Year and hope you all did as well!


Julian enjoys the shipping package more than the gifts :)


Holding Ava for the first time - and not quite sure about all that crying...


Getting the hang of it...


Ava turned two weeks on the 2nd...already growing up so fast!
