Ava and I took a little trip, just the two of us, back home to Houston. Most of my family (and none of my friends) had met Ava, so it was a really great time. Bruce stayed back in Aussie with Haylee & Grace and the three of them had a blast....and ate at McDonald's for every meal for 10 days, I'm fairly certain :)
It felt so good to be back in America - back at home with family, friends, and familiar surroundings. I didn't get to see nearly as many friends as I would have liked to, but 1 week goes by so quickly. I miss all of my friends.
It's been good for us to live here in Australia, but we are very ready to get back home.
Playing at Mimi and Papa's house with Aunt Janelle and her weiner dog, Sophie. Ava was completely smitten by that dog! She loved her!
Giving Aunt Janelle some loves.
Bruce's sister, Katie, and her kiddies got into town just about 2 hours before we had to fly out of town. It was really great to see them. Ava was loving her cousins!
Playing with Papa and Sophie the weiner.
I love this!
Ava eating her first donut. She made a huge mess, but loved it, so it was worth the clean up.
Bath time in the sink!
Isn't my mom pretty?!
Ava was such a little trooper. My mom, sisters, and I drug her everywhere with us that week: shopping, going out to eat, more shopping, .....she's such a good, good baby.
We did play with Aunt Keisha, Uncle Kyle (my youngest bro and sis) and also Gradma Marilyn (Bruce's mom), but I never got and pics. Dang. But what really matters it that we had a really great time with them!!
