Fun Times and GREAT news!


Last week started off with a fun trip to the zoo! I think here she was actually more excited to be out of the stroller walking around than she was of the gorilla in the distance. Her favorite animal were the stinky flamingos and the otter (I'm pretty sure she thought it was a cat though).

On our way to Napa to visit mommy's side of the family. The little girl we sat next to gave Avila the glasses to keep. The little girl didn't seem to have swine flu or any other ailment so I said thanks and Avila got a kick out of wearing them. She thought it was hilarious when I wore them as well, but I didn't really think a picture of me in heart glasses was what the internet needs.

She took her first bubble bath at grandma's. She didn't really care that there were bubbles in the sink. She did try to eat them though - that didn't work out too well.

She gave Tigger a little bath as well.

YEAH! We came home from our trip to Napa and heard the best news ever! Daddy got a promotion and a raise! Look how surprised Owen looks. I'm pretty sure that was my face when I heard the news as well. We went our to dinner with some of our best friends to celebrate the Lord's amazing mercies to us! We are so thankful for his provision!

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from our zoo to yours!

Blair and I dressed as zoo keepers......sometimes I don't think that is too far from reality either. Some may not call 2 cats, a dog and a baby and proper zoo, but when you compare job descriptions they're not that different
- feed the animals
- pick up/clean up their poo
- teach the animals tricks
- encourage the animals to perform and entertain others
- keep the animals happy
- bathe the animals

That's my day...just change the word animals to Avila, Maverick, Lunchbox, and Spaz
I'll have to add these credentials to my resume.
