Our Kids

To catch up... a few Sundays ago,(as some of you have read on Linda's blog)our parents came down to hear us speak. I was so nervous already about giving my talk, but to have to give it and then switch places with Mike and try to entertain Ava and feed Jack just overwhelmed me. I was so happy when my mom said she wanted to come down and give us a hand. Thank you guys so much for that. Now all I had to worry about was filling the time. Mike and I were the ONLY speakers. I was freaking out when I found that out because my talks tend to last maybe 5 mins. But I slowed things down and Mike expounded on a few things and we were able to get it done.
It was so great having family over. After church we all came home and just relaxed. Ava even showed my dad her new trick...
Ava knows her letters now! Point to a letter and she will tell you! She is also now able to count to 10 (watch for that video).
And Jack's trick...he can now balance! Mike is so happy
enjoy

Glad we could come and hear your both speak and spend time with the kids! It was a perfect day.

Way to go Ava, I'm very impressed. Glad to hear that everything went well with your talks. I too usually only speak for 5 minutes. The last time I spoke we had 3 speakers and there ended up being 5 or 10 minutes left. So great job, I know how hard it is to fill up the time.

I loved listening to Ava say her letters. That was so cute!

What a cutie voice Ava has!! You'll be so glad you have that on video! Can't believe how big Jack is getting as well! So cute.
