If you know anything about Wilson you will know that it is a miracle in itself that this made it into the paper! God is doing a "new thing" in this city and I'm so proud to be a member of New Beginnings!!

18 Months!!??!

So Ava is the big 18 months old today! That just sounds so grown up to me!!! Here she is in all her 18 month glory!

Gigi and Grandman took us out to lunch today to celebrate! I am so thankful that I am getting to enjoy these fun times at home with Ava. She is changing everyday!! She is at the point now where she will repeat everything you say! Her favorite words right now are "uh-oh" and "da-da". She has the dreamiest look in her eyes when she says "da-da". I guess she will always be a daddy's girl!!

Happy 1/2 birthday sweet girl!

Topsail Beach 09

Ava and I finally made it for the annual Topsail Beach trip with my Nana and Pops! Ava LOOOOVED the beach!!! The first time we took her on the beach she ran straight for the water with her mouth wide open! She had the best time playing in the sand and collecting shells (well, mostly eating the sand and shells) I'm so glad that we were able to go!! Here's some pictures from the week...

Thank you Nana and Pops for having us! We can't wait until next year!!

Our 4th

I have said it before but I LOVE July 4th!! We had so much fun yesterday just being together playing at the pool and eating lots and lots of yummy food! Ava and I decided to get very patriotic and make a flag cake. It was really tasty! My "Susie- homemaker" skills are really improving! :)

On Saturday we headed to my parents to spend the day at the pool. Ava and David spent a lot of time playing basketball and riding the golf cart. I spent way too much time laying in the sun and I am paying for it today! :) Ava's favorite thing to do at her Gigi and Grandman's house is SWING! I wish that thing had a motor so I could lay in the pool and she could swing...

After Ava's long nap we enjoyed our yummy cake and ice cream sundaes! Then after an attempt to watch Wilson's glorious firework display ( we decided we didn't want to get shot in downtown Wilson so we quicky abandoned that plan) we decided we would wait until September and watch the fireworks at Disney! We hope everyone had a great 4th!

Our pastor released a praise and worship CD this week and it is amazing!!! It is playing nonstop in our house and cars! Check it out and buy it... www.nbcconline.com
