Maya's Trustworthiness award...

So, I do have a great video, but so far, I can't upload it..Not sure why, but I will work on that later...On to the more important things...I am so proud of Maya...She was so excited for today, and this is HER DAY!!!! I am honored that Maya was chosen to be the recipient of this award. It means so much to all of us, and says so much about who she is as a person. She is a very caring little girl, with such a big heart, and such a zest about life in general..She is almost always carrying a big smile on her beautiful face, and is always the sweetest person. She loves her family, and loves her friends and has such a huge heart...In my mind, she should win every award, but toady was her day!!! I love you Maya, we are all so proud of you...your dad and I did a great job in raising you!!!!

P.S....Congrats to Chase and Sebastian..they won too...:)

Ava is sick...How sad.

Ava started getting sick this weekend with a cough and weezing...I also noticed she was starting to get thrush. So, right after I took the kids to school, I went to the Dr. office...They said she did have thrush and that she also has RSV...which is (and yes, I copied and pasted this, who has time?? hahah)

Respiratory syncytial virus infection, usually called RSV, is a lot like a bad cold. It causes the same symptoms. And like a cold, it is very common and very contagious. Most children have had it at least once by age 2.

RSV is usually not something to worry about. But it can lead to pneumonia or other problems in some people, especially babies. So it’s important to watch the symptoms and call your doctor if they get worse.

So, our poor baby isn't feeling very well...We had to get her a nebulizer machine and she is taking Albuterol in it. It's in the shape of a bear, and she is kinda weirded out by it. We have to keep it in front of her nose, and let her breathe in the medicine. She mostly just tries to eat it...haha...

She is also on amoxicillyn and nyastatin as well...And I am just praying she is better by Sunday, because the girls and I leave for Tennessee...so say prayers for her..Oh, and for Tony and I, we are both getting sick now too...:(

Not a fun house right now.

they kinda look alike.

So I know it isn't exact, but I think the three girls look alike. Tell me what you think...

It's in the order of Emma, Maya, and Ava.

Ava just being beautiful Ava....

She is 6 1/ moths now, and still trying to figure out the whole crawling thing, but man is she prettier than ever. Her hair is starting to get a few curls in it, and is starting to grow. We are having so much fun with her.....

Tony and I go to dinner....

We got to have a quiet, nice, and relaxing dinner at our favorite place to eat, The Purple Olive.....

It was yummy and much needed!!!

More time at the park.

I go out walking after midnight....

Ava got a walker from a friend of mine, and she seems to like it pretty well...She scoots around, and mostly she tries to eat the little toy in fron of her.

Emma's early b-day present.

So, Tony gave Emma her present a few weeks early...He got her a cell phone...Now, don't think we are some crazy people, it was free, and only 10.00 a month...it's a very limited cell phone, mostly for emergencies. She is a very responsible child, so there are many limits to this phone. She was excited though, and even though I thought she was too young to have one, I am happy for her. But, needless to say Tony is the one she is adoring right now.

What an exciting soccer practice.

So, Emma's soccer is back on, and we had a very exciting practice yesterday. One of the girls on the team (well her parents) are friends with a man named Paul Caligiuri, he was the former coach of the US Women's World Cup Team.....and he came out along with his assistant coach and practiced the girls yesterday. It was such a special treat for them, and Emma was in HEAVEN with it...Here are some pics, I hope you like them.

Video of Ava laughing....

Thought you may enjoy this.

Video of Ava trying to crawl.

I'm beginning to crawl.....

So, at a little over 6 months old, Ava is in the early stages of crawling. She can get up on all fours and rock back and forth, but then she falls down. Instead of going forward, she ends up going backwards. She was in our little playroom and scooted back so much, she went down on a little step, and it was really cute.
