Cousin Sara's Wedding Week

We have some very exciting news! Sara Cook got married last weekend in Nashville. The girls (Ava, myself, and Ditty) had a roadtrip to Indy. We enjoyed a wonderful pre-wedding week with Aunt Carol, Uncle Jim, Sara, and our NEW cousin Mark. Then it was off to Nashville for the big event! Woo hoo!

Cousins!

Ava LOVES her Aunt Carol. So much that almost every time Aunt Carol walked in the room during our visit Ava started clapping!

Ava picked tomatoes from Aunt Carol's garden. What fun!

Ava and Uncle Jim were Buddies for sure!

Meeting Aunt Alissa for the first time. True love :-)

Congratulations Sara and Mark!

Ava was a great little traveler on the way home. We listened to hours of praise baby cd's and played lots of peek-a-boo games.

We felt so special to be a part of Sara's wedding. We are more than blessed to have an amazing family that we love so much! We will miss Sara (who now lives in Ireland) but truly couldn't be happier for her and Mark.

Polo Baby

In honor of Ava's fascination with the little polo man on Daddy's shirts, Karo and K-Bob got Ava a shirt of her very own with dozens of little polo dudes! What fun!

A letter to our baby girl.....

Dearest Baby Girl,

Ava Claire, you bring so much joy to us. You are growing up crazy fast... too fast! Yesterday you turned 11 months old. We are trying to cherish each minute with you and your cute little baby self! Today was a very special day because you walked 6 steps! You are officially a big girl now. You also said Boo this morning to Baylor Boo. I keep thinking that next month will already be your first birthday. This has truly been the best year. Almost everyday I have a sweet moment with you and I whisper to God "this is the best moment of my life." Today's moment was when I was carrying you to your crib for a nap and kissed your sweet chubby cheek. Funny thing is I know I will have another moment tomorrow with you and I'll feel like it is impossible for life to get any better all over again. Daddy loves you dearly too. You are his "little monkey." You play all the time with your daddy and I see his heart melt sometimes when he is holding you. He has a hard time putting you to bed for the night because he doesn't want to put you down. I think he'd sway in front of your crib with you in his arms all night if I let him. Baby girl, you are our heart's joy. We love you and thank Jesus everyday for you.
