Just a few for Rick and Barb Barb!

Rick and Barb Barb (Chris's aunt and uncle) sent Ava an ADORABLE outfit for her Birthday! If you know Ava at all you know that she is a girly, girl that LOVES to dress up. So, this princess/fairy outfit was the perfect, pretty, pink explosion for her Halloween Costume!
Here are a few from the fair and Halloween that I thought you guys would like!

She was dancing around from the minute we left the house...the "hangy downy thingys" would twirl around so beautifully that she could of danced for hours!

It was so sweet...we took two strollers to wheel the girls around in...Chris took one and I took the other. Until the girls had pleaded enough, we finally just through them both into one stroller and let them snuggle each other all over the SC State Fair. They loved it! They even looked like they could of possibly been twins. Obviously, not identical!

Do you think she liked the merry-go-around? Ummmm, probably more than she likes Chris and I! She hugged and smiled the whole ride...TWICE!

Daddies and their girls! This was to sweet of a moment not to get a picture!

This princess loves climbing trees...with alittle help!

Thank you Rick and Barb Barb!!!!

We love you and miss you!!!!

Our newest addition, Molly, is absolutely ADORABLE! Ava could not love her more if she tried. She calls her "Mollys". Here are some of the things she does to show her devotion to her...

she puts molly's make-up on every morning with her "tend" make-up,

she hugs her repeatedly throughout the day

(Illustration in above photo),

she climbs in her kennel and says, "come here Mollys...I hold you" while patting the spot next to her,

she ask, "where is Mollys?" anytime we are gone from the house, as if she is checking in on her...like a mommy.

The list could go on forever...

It is so sweet to see the love a child can have for another being...I want to forever guard and protect that feeling for her! Though, deep down I know only God's love can remain that pure and faithful. However, He has blessed us with the job of trying to model that love through Him. Our prayer as parents is that we can work faithfully on that daily. Challenges, struggles and all...

Happy Holidays!
