4th of July

Our 4th of July 2010 was spent in The Woodlands with Ava's Papa and Gramielle. Last year we spent the 4th with them as well. I am amazed at how much Ava has changed since then. It's almost like I have forgotten what she was like to be that small (and that still!). After seeing the video at the end of the post I was reminded just how bad Ava's torticollis was too. Wow! Mikey and I had no idea it was that bad because to us that was normal. We didnt know any different and by then Leakhena was working with Ava on a regular basis so we never worried about her. I am glad that God gave us such peace about it and put Leakhena in our lives to help Ava. Ava has never been held back by her torticollis or tight muscle tone and today you can barely tell that she even had either one! After looking back at this post it gave me the idea to start a "Flashback Post of the Week" every once in awhile so that the grandparents and myself can remember what Ava was like as a baby and relive some of those special baby moments. They go by in a blink!

Anyways, back to our 4th of July weekend! Geez, I got majorly sidetracked there! We had a relaxing weekend in The Woodlands and enjoyed visiting with Papa, Gramielle, and even Jenny and Bekah! They stopped by for a visit and we had a fun time playing in the pool with the girls.

We went to the annual 4th of July parade. It was HU-MID!!! Very uncomfortable outside but we still had a good time.

These corks that P & G collect were a big hit with Ava. Seriously, who needs toys?

This is the hair do Ava has been sporting lately. Her hair is growing so fast and getting so long but is still at an awkward length. I can't wait for her to have a cute little bob all one length!
