A whole lotta nothin going on

I realized the other day that it's been over a month since I blogged last. There is a fairly good reason for this considering we haven't done much of anything that was blog worthy. It's pretty much been the same old same from day to day which is rather boring :-) As I sat down this morning to find something to blog about I realized that I haven't even taken very many pictures. I know shame on me, but between Andrew's homework and my own homework it seems like that's all we do. I did manage to find two pictures to post that tell about two different things that have happened since my last posting.

On March 5 my Aunt Paula (my Mom's sister), Uncle Mike and my cousins Blake and Becca drove up to Overland Park, KS for a soccer tournament Blake was competing in. I haven't seen them since my Grandma's funeral in May 2009 when I was still pregnant with Ava so Adam and I made the 2hr drive over to watch Blake's game. It was really good seeing them again and to let them meet Ava for the first time. Definitely worth the drive to visit for a little while over dinner before having to drive home. I am happy to say that on Sunday March 6 Blake's team won the tournament for their age division. Who knows maybe us coming for a visit was their good luck charm.....I doubt it, they are a really good team :-)

Back in February, I think on Andrew's last snow day off of school, we took Ava to get her ears pierced. This picture is not a good one to show off her earrings, but she would not sit still long enough for me to take a good one. If you look very closely you can see a dark spot which is the earring. Ava did really well getting them pierced (yes I forgot to take my camera that day) and only cried for a minute or two once it was over. I think it hurt her daddy's feelings more than anything since he was the one having to hold her still. All in all it was a positive experience and she fights us when it comes to cleaning them less and less each day. I will try to get a better picture of Ava showing off her earrings and post it on here.
