My Little Worshiper

For some reason the afternoons between 4-5:15 are the longest, roughest times at the Pitts' household. I am trying to get dinner ready, get ready for work if I have to go, entertain Ava, and catch a minute or two of Oprah (hey, she only has 13 more episodes!) We are literally counting down the seconds until David comes home! One trick I have learned to keep Ava occupied is to turn on praise and worship music and get her to dance and sing with me. When she was a baby, I would turn on music and bounce her around the kitchen when she was fussy...worked like a charm! One rainy afternoon last week we broke out the microphones (aka wooden spoons) and turned on some Israel Houghton and had a little concert in our kitchen. We were still going strong when David got home!

Thank you Jesus for these precious moments!!

Easter 2011

I love this time of year!! The week leading up to Easter Ava and I read the Easter story every day at naptime. She is really starting to understand Jesus but gets a little confused sometimes. Here's how her account of things go..

Me: Ava, what happened to Jesus?

Ava: He died on the cross.

Me: And then what happened?

Ava: He rose again, on the first time.

She gets this mixed up with when I say, Ava when does Jesus want us to listen? "On the first time"

We spent Easter morning getting ready for church and watching Ava dig in to her Easter basket. Then we went to church for an amazing service! Then it was to my grandparent's house for their annual Easter Egg hunt.

1st Dance Recital

Ava's first dance recital was a few weekends ago. The theme for the preschool recital was Snow White, how perfect is that?? Ava did a great job and loved being on stage. She keeps asking when she can go to her recital again!

Disney World 2/11

We went to Disney in February for the first time as Disney Vacation Club members! We had a great time and stayed at The Boardwalk, somewhere we would've never been able to stay unless we were members! I am so thankful that David supports my Disney love! We had such a fun trip...here's some pictures...

We're BAAACK!!

So it has been 3 months since I have updated the blog...sorry! For some reason my account started asking me for a password and I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked! Well today I was actually patient enough to sit and try to recover my password and it worked! After a month or two went by of not blogging I thought "well I guess I'm done with that" but then I remembered how I had not done a scrapbook or any kind of book for that matter for Ava and this blog was all of our special memories...so I decided to try to catch up!

Dance Observation Day!

This morning was Ava's dance observation day. She did awesome and was soooo cute dancing with all her friends!

BIRTHDAY!

Monday at 5:35pm my sweet baby turned 3!! I can't even begin to tell you how much love and joy Ava has brought into our lives these past 3 years and we spent the entire day celebrating her special day! We woke up early, ate breakfast, and headed to Chuck E Cheese! David discovered very quickly that he was an expert at the games and won Ava 146 tickets with one game! We played until we ran out of tokens and then Ava racked up on prizes with her many tickets (thanks to Daddy!) Then we went out for a special birthday lunch at Olive Garden and then came home for a much needed nap. Ava went to dance and when she got home we watched the home movie from the day she was born. I have always loved watching home movies and have passed this love on to Ava. Then that night we invited our entire families over for cupcakes! We packed our tiny house full of people and while it was a bit crowded (about 25 people total!) we are soooo blessed to have so many people who love our little girl! Here are some pictures from our fun day!
