Science Center and Spaghetti Works

Today we got up and took the girls to the Science Center for the morning.  They really enjoyed themselves playing with all the experiments.  I am not sure who had more fun the girls or us.  It was a great time and Ava even got on Channel 13 News at Noon.  Channel 13 does their weather every weekday from the Science Center and all the kids who are there get to be on TV.  After the Science Center we took the girls to Spaghetti Works for lunch.  It was a beautiful afternoon and we set outside to eat.  Ella said Hi to everyone that walked by.  Now it is off to the swimming pool this evening.

Big Weekend

It was a very big past weekend. Sarah had her very first wedding shoot of her cousin Tim and his wife Tammy. I think she enjoyed it and now has to make the decision if she wants to book two more weddings later this year. Here are some pictures of hers and also a video of the girls dancing at the reception. They loved the whole thing and enjoyed all the dancing.

The End of an Era

Well our little girl is all grown up.  We switched her crib into her big girl bed.  She could not wait to get into and after the fiasco of getting the bed (don't ask, long story).  It was somewhat sad seeing our little girl finally getting bigger.
On a side on Ava is having Bible School at Luthern Church of Hope and is loving every minute of it.  It is from 9-noon all this week.  She comes home excited and singing all the songs they learned.  It is inspired us, especially me, to start going back to church.  I see how much Ava loves learning about God and the messages of Jesus that I want to get back to hear the message.

Ava Swimming Lessons

Ava had swimming lessons last week. It was amazing to see the progress from last year to this year. She started swimming by herself to her teacher and jumping off the board and kicking to the surface with no help. Enjoy the video of her swimming.


Big Fall

Well it finally happened in our house. Ella got stitches last night. She fell from the top step outside head first onto the concrete. When she got up she was covered in blood and had a gash on her forehead. Sarah and I took here to the ER where she received 3 stitches on her forehead. She didn't a great job getting them and didn't move a muscle during the entire ordeal. She just sat there and talked to the nurse and doctor while they were stiching her up. Afterwards she got a brownie and some Dora bandaids. The top picture shows her laying in the ER and the bottom is of her this morning. The stitches stay in unitl Saturday and she will be good to go.
