My work Christmas party

Faust has a long-standing traditional Christmas party where Santa visits and we have a meal. This year it was located at the Lighthouse Family Traditions (which I haven't been to since I was like 12 if not before). It was nice. There were other kids there so Jaxon had a blast and Ava was a perfect angel, as usual. Jaxon wasn't scared of Santa, but  he wasn't jumping for joy either...

So I (we) finally did it! After taking down old wall paper, painting, laying laminate hardwood floors and then of course, painting the wall art, its finished. Check it out!

Thanksgiving '08 ( a lil' late...)

Better late than never they say. Here are a few pics of the kids on Thanksgiving at mom's house. It was nice to get a picture of Pap holding Ava, she will treasure it someday!

                       

                       

                                 

Update!

Ava went Monday for her 4 month check up. Here are her stats, she is much bigger than big brother at her age. She weighed 12 lbs. 12 oz (25th percentile) was 24.5" long (75th percentile) and I think her head circumference was around 41 cm (30th percentile). The doctor described her as tall and thin. I guess she is going to take after uncle Brandon or my grandfather Reed on my dad's side. He was 6' 4"! Her brother also had a weight check -(22 months) and weighed in at only 21 lb. 5 oz. Still not on the scale, but at least gaining slightly...
