Visit from Grammy, Pops and Great Grandmother McDonald







I had such a great day today! Grammy and Pops came over and brought Great Grandmother McDonald so we could celebrate her 93rd birthday. We had lunch at Murphy's where I sat in a highchair for the very first time (I was very well behaved) then we came home and had cake and of course took pictures!

Thank you Grammy for the beautiful new dress! I will wear it when we go to the Cloister in May along with the CUTE outfits Aunt Carol sent me. I also love my easter basket and rubber duckies that blink.

Come play again soon! Pops, I love all the kisses you give me.

Love,
Ava

My Pretty New Dress




Mommy and Daddy's friend Mrs. June gave me this pretty smocked dress. If Mommy is fast with the camera, I just may let her take my picture!

Splish splash, I was taking a bath!


Okay, okay, I know my hair is a little out of control tonight... but at least I am clean!

Pretty Baby




We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and spent some time outside enjoying the beautiful weather. We hit a record temperature of 87 degrees in Atlanta today. Ava had some fun in the park. Of course, there were pictures...

Have a great week.

Mommy, Mommy, look at what I can do!


I can climb right out of my chair when you are not looking! Surprise!!!

Springtime With Ava




We went out and took a few pictures in Ava's Easter dress this afternoon. It was a little late in the day and Ava was not the very best subject... but we did get a few good shots of her new teeth!

We will have to try for that perfect Easter picture another day.

Love to all!

Thank You Doll-Doll!


Doll-Doll,


Thank you for coming to Atlanta this week and last week to stay with me while my nanny was on vacation. You taught me lots of new things! I can now wave hello, say uh-oh, dada, mama and Doll-Doll. I had fun playing and taking walks with you. I hope you come back to see us soon!


Love, Ava

Separated at Birth?




Well we were definitely separated at birth but I am not sure we look alike. Grammy saved a dress she and Grandmother McDonald made for me when I was little and Ava and I have now both been photographed in the Little Red Riding Hood dress. See if you can guess who is who... I bet you can!

Ballet Anyone?




Okay, so maybe Ava is a little young to be a prima ballerina... However, she sure does love the costume.

Welcome to Ava's Blog


We have had so much fun sending everyone pictures of Ava as she grows (and there have been many pictures)! As Pops McDonald likes to say, "Ava wakes up then poses for pictures, has a bath then poses for pictures, eats breakfast then poses for pictures, etc...".

So, I thought I would start a blog for Ava so you can check in and see how she is doing anytime and you don't have to worry about downloading large photo files.

We hope you enjoy the blog!

Love, Matt, Cathy, Ava, Vivi and Kitty
