Trip to Tulsa!!!

Well last week Ava and I took our first flight together up to Tulsa. It was a true adventure in planing. On the way there I was able to time it just right with her afternoon nap and she slept until we got on the plan, then she ate, so her ears would pop and not hurt her. On the trip back we were not as lucky...the flight was delayed and she slept forever, so much that she didn't wake during the flight and slept through eating time. Needless to say she was starving by the time we got home and I was in pain. Guess that is what we get when the weather delays flights.

As for the time in Tulsa it was good. I was able to see a friend of mine and have lunch with her and her husband. Then mom and Ava and I were able to go shopping, like us girls love to do, and get new work outfits for me!!! Also my grandparents got to see Ava almost every day. Poppa is getting a bit old and shaky, but he loved holding Ava and having her hold his finger. We also tried to take a four generations picture, but Poppa kept cutting off our heads, guess we will get one at Christmas.

Other than that everything else is the same old same old. I go back to work in a week...YUCK....Mike will then get to hang out with Ava all day. I am very jealous of that, but since I carry the health insurance, I sort of have to work. That and I am sure it will be nice to be around adults again.
Oh thought I would throw in this picture of Ava taking a bath in mom's kitchen sink. Not too much longer and she will not fit.

That is all for now, I will post more pics from this weekend when my "sisters" come in town from Arkansas.

That's good you got to see your family! I'm bummed for you that you have to go back to work. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do right?? When we have kids I'll probably have to work as well...California is SO expensive. Ava is so cute. How about you make her not grow anymore until we get a chance to come out there. Sound like a plan? :)
