Around the House

 It always seems the youngest child gets the most pictures taken of them.  I am guilty as charged with Ava.  She is at such a fun age and it seems like she presents us with daily photo ops.

When she turned 3 she asked for white dancing shoes and Aunt Tessa and Uncle Joey looked all over town (it was November - no one was carrying white shoes!).  Well they delivered and these beloved shoes have been worn and worn and danced in and polished and repolished and loved.  Unfortunately they have to be retired. 

I came home to this the other day - my hubby is awesome. So are giveaways from Upward Projects (thanks Aunt Les!). 

Elise and Ava performed a gymnastics routine - very cute.

My Mom made sauerbraten the other day - she follows a recipe from Babci.  It was so delicious and I got to eat it again for lunch!

And lastly, my sign arrived.  I saw these on pinterest and knew I had to get one.
