Level 3 Swim

Saturday we took Ava to her 1st Level 3 class. Ryan and I were so proud of her. She walked right up to her new swim instructor and was ready to start class with out me in the pool. Ryan was worried she would cry. I knew she would be fine, just would be a tad shy. Lucky for Ava she was the only kid in class so she had a 1-on-1. We think she did pretty well for her 1st class. Her regualr scheduled class will be Wednesday's at 6pm. I just hope she keeps it up when other kids are in the pool with her.

Mastered Level 2

Ava's is moving on up AND I'm out of the pool!. I'm so excited for me!!!. Hahaha.... Ava has been doing really good in swim. She has masted level 2 and is a pro "Monkey Walker" (can hold on to the wall, walk the wall and lift her body out of the pool).

 

Wicked

This weekend I had a lovely evening out with my girls. We had a nice dinner downtown then went to see Wicked. It was an amazing show!!! I’m so glad we all have the same interest. There is no way I could have ever dragged Ryan to a musical.

On a side note: We have been doing really well getting Ava to sleep in her bed, BUT Saturday evening when I got home guess who was asleep in my bed?!? Ava! Ryan is such a sucker…the next morning when I asked him why was she in our bed; we were doing so good. He said Ava asked him to watch movies in mommy & daddy’s bed. I guess he just couldn’t refuse her request.

 

Hoolahan Wedding Shower

Ryan has been very blessed with a great group of High School friends and even more so The Hoolahan Family. 

The Boyle's, Horstman's, and us hosted a Wedding Shower at what we remember as Casa Thomas. We (the wives) had a great time planning the wedding shower. The icing on the cake was a kid free weekend in Huntsville hanging out with old friends. 

Patrick Hoolahan will marry Rachel Hurst on October 19^th (we will be spending our 5 year wedding anniversary at a wedding).

The best things in life: Friends that are like family, and family that are like friends.

Breakfast

Mommy and Ava Breakfast date + Dino. 

Whose Been Sleeping in my Bed

While we were on vacation Ava was sleeping with us in the bed. Now that vacation is over it has been a hard transition to get her back in her bed. It doesn't help that she sounds so darn cute asking us to sleep in our bed AND I love waking up to her.

Hopefully this week goes a little better...we need to stand our ground and not give in.

2 Plate Chunks

Lately Ava's daily report says she eats 2 plates ate lunch. Either she is going through a growth spurt or she loves what is on the menu.

Ryan and I laugh about what the teachers think. We can imagine her screaming out during lunch, "I want more and pointing at her plate." Ryan jokes with me and calls her Two Plate Chunks.
