genuine excitement

halloween carnival

this carnival is one of both Keegan and my most distinct memories of baby baby Ava. It is also one of the only things we have now done two times surrounding a holiday. Ava was into it big time and did not even know where to start. We were trying to write bzzzz on her cheek before she left and she was not having it so Keegan drew on both of our faces and from that mon on she new this was a different night. She was very excited during the car ride and once we got there she did not know where to start but she is likeing Halloween so far this year big time.

Ava's perfect pumkin....

Happy Birthday Keegan

Yesterday was Keegan's bday. He had to work all day but we did have some of the fam over after work for apple pie, choc chip cookies and brown sugar and ginger ice cream - (Keegans requests) to celebrate when he got off work. Ava had a ball and Keegan had fun playing with Ava and her cousins.

just got home from an early morning walk with rufus... ava still in her monkey suit..... insists on wearing the ruby slippers that were actually my little sister Annas when she was little and are still about 4 sizes too big and walking around the house very seriously talking on keegans phone.
