You must've been a beautiful baby...

This past weekend was Ava's baptism. She looked beautiful in the handed down baptism gown from Dave's family, and did great. She never cried during church, when the water was poured on her head, or when the priest carried throughout church. I can't ask for anything better!


Of all pictures, I laughed at this one most. Do you see it? Check out Abby. Look closer! Behind Megan's head... she needs to learn to sit like a lady!

The fam. Unfortunately my sister's oldest son was sick, so her husband Mark stayed home with him. Bummer at picture time especially!

Dave's side of the fam...

Are all of these mine??

Bright eyes.

Sisterly love.

Just the girls (but check out Ava's expression!).

In the church...

That's it for the baptism. It was juts an all around nice day, with the baptism at 5:00 mass. It gave us all day on Saturday to hang out, and celebrate Saturday night. Sunday morning, Dave and his dad and bro-in-law went golfing and came back, shall we say, HAPPY? Apparently they declined the coffee and OJ and went right to the Heinekin at 7:30 in the morning. Crazy!!

I got this outfit from someone Dave works with, and I love it! I think it's the cutest thing ever.

Dave and kids on the tube...

And Ava's first boat ride. She did great!

That's all I got. It's been hectic here lately, with Dave gone quite a bit. Abby also tried out and made the swim club. That means practices Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. I think about posting, and then fall asleep!

That's it from here.... busy but surviving!
