This Week at the Pitts' House

Let's see...this week David has started training for a triathlon. He's been talking about it for awhile now and is starting to get focused. He's got 2 months to get in to shape!

On Thursday night the ladies at our church started a Beth Moore bible study. If you have never read anything by her, she is awesome! She is real and very inspirational! The study is called "Stepping Up" and it studies 15 chapters of Psalms. I'm really excited about it! This morning the devotion was about God being our protector. Does anyone else watch the news lately and just get so scared?? I worry about Ava growing up in this crazy world all the time. So this study came at the perfect time for me! Just like our pastor said this morning, God is not just "winging it". He is not up in heaven biting his nails and worrying about the economy and about gas prices! He has a plan and if we will just put all of our trust in Him, he will take care of EVERYTHING!

Ava is still fascinating us with new tricks everyday! She is so close to crawling! Here she is all dressed up for church this morning...

I love that little face!! And here she is trying to get her shoes off as soon as I put them on...David decided this afternoon that she was ready for her 1st sippy cup drink. She did pretty good with it! Our baby is growing up TOO FAST!

Visit With the Bolin's

Sarah, Jay, and Caroline came for a quick visit this past weekend. I love when they get to come! We had a joint birthday party for Jay and my grandmother on Saturday night. Jay will be 5 next week. David and I were married on his 1st birthday.

Caroline with a blue tongue from the cookie cake. My dad actually finds an excuse for us to have cookie cake every time the Bolin's visit. He doesn't even like it but he knows how much we do!

Jay loves holding Ava! Sarah calls him "the baby whisperer" because he can always make her laugh!

Ava and her Aunt Sarah...

Ava was wiped out from all the excitement...

We will all get to be together again very soon for a week in Myrtle Beach! I can't wait!!

So Far So Good

My new job is going great so far! The people are all very nice and I love the schedule. On my first day David knew I was a little nervous so he had Ava write me a little note. "She" even packed her bunny in my lunchbox in case I got scared. Isn't she just the sweetest baby! :)
The Bolins are headed to North Carolina tomorrow morning and we are soooo excited! I'm sure I will have lots of pictures to post from their visit!

6 MONTHS ALREADY???!!

Tomorrow Ava will be 6 months old! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! Ava has reached a new milestone recently...sitting. She is still a little wobbly but she is getting the hang of it! The doctor told us that at 6 months she would be able to drink out of a sippy cup. I just can't bring myself to give her a sippy cup yet...that seems like such a "big kid thing"! We will hold off on that for a little while longer. She is very good at computers, though...Just had to share this one... I have been waiting for Ava to get enough hair to wear a bow!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

My family will get this right away! I have caught Ava several times flipping her paci upside down! Hopefully I will be able to break her of this before she starts school! :)

Sad Day...

I just found out that The Longbranch has closed! Not that I have ever been there or anything but I am sure this is very sad news to someone...haha :)

Happy 4th!

This may be my favorite holiday of all! We spent the day at the pool with my family. Then that night we headed to a friend's house for a cookout and fireworks. Ava finally got to meet baby Olivia...no pictures though because little Olivia slept most of the night! She is so precious and I'm sure she will be one of Ava's best buddies! We all had a great time and Ava loved her first firework show!
