An Autumn Afternoon

Ava & mom went for a walk to the park.
The weather and the scenery were amazing!

Ava always screams her name when she sees one of these signs, so of course I had to take a picture.

She can swing all by herself now.

Red Ribbon Week - CRAZY HAIR DAY

"You'd have to be CRAZY to use drugs!"

Buddy Bear Redux

Ava was selected to host another visit from Buddy Bear. Way to go, Ava!

Our Star!

Last Friday Miss King was named Star of the Week at STAR (the before/after school childcare program at school.)

The letter sent home with her says she has been an all around great kid who is good to her friends and teachers and sets a wonderful example for the rest of the children to follow

A Beautiful Wedding

My cousin Alyson became Mrs. Scott Murano yesterday.
Congratulations Aly and Scott!

Ava adoring the beautiful bride.

A couple of old, married ladies.

Clownin' with the cousins

Ava took my place at the cousins' table.

Clockwise: Ava, Jennifer & Stephanie (2 of Jon Beile's), Thomas & Emily (Kevin Beile's), Joe (Tim Beile's) and Kyle (Dan Beile's).

Isn't this an adorable cake topper?
Aunt Tina is crazy creative.

LOOSEY GOOSEY - Its a wiggly toothy!

Get a good look at those baby teeth...

Pretty soon she will look like a jack-o-latern!

*** A Few Bumps in the Road ***
*
On the flight down south (Ava's first airplane ride) she had to pee, but it was too late to get up, we were about to land. When you gotta go, you gotta go! The lady sitting behind Ava will probably always put her carry-on bag in the overhead compartment from now on.
*
Papa Thom and amusement rides don't mix so well. He did manage to keep the contents of his stomach from blowing all over Space Mountain.
Barely.
*
Papa Thom's cell phone is most likely sleeping with the fishes at the bottom of the Pirates of the Carribean Sea.
*
Jessica and another lady got into a little "hen squabble" over 15 feet of prime curbside seating along the parade route that the other lady declared she was "saving." Jessica decided that was a little excessive. She sat herself and Ava down in the middle of the "saved" area.
Sorry, chicky - first come, first seated.
Papa Thom commented that he won't be taking Jessica to a Raider's game.
