Well let me first say Nancy and I had a super time watching, loving and once again being a full time care giver for little Ava Mae. I had or we had forgot what a full time job it is being a stay home mom or dad. Needless to say we thoroughly loved every minute and every minute she was awake was great. Amy and Tyler got back this morning and Amy left with Ava after lunch. Our house is so QUIET. Nancy took off with the GAB(her sister) after Amy left and is still gone as I write.
Saturday as I'm trying recollect started out with Ava up early, as a matter of fact she was up early every morning. She is quite an eater except she isn't a great lover of meat but loves buckwheat pancakes with our homemade jelly and a fried egg. She loves macaroni and any kind of beans, but especially loves chick peas(garbanzo),black eyed peas,etc. Yesterday, Sunday at Element Church(Uncle Bobby's Church she ate 3 doughnut holes before we headed out to Steak and Shake for lunch. Ava and Annsley where so cute in all the goodies they provide for children;coloring papers and crayons, bibs,cardboard cars, free lunches and hats. Well both of the girls were in their glory entertaining us. The food wasn't bad for a fast food place and reasonable. I had never eaten at one but their burgers were delicious
We had G/G and Pap (Nancy's folks whom Amy loves) for dinner on Saturday and they in turn had us for dinner on Sunday night as G/G made her fabulous spaghetti and meat balls along with an angel food cake and strawberry's. Well, Ava loves her pie's,cakes and cookies and of course spaghetti.
Well the morning(Monday) was another cool one and a light frost was evident around the neighborhood. I drove this morning to the Rec. after my usual quiet time and and light breakfast(leftover cornbread with peach butter). I got in 2 plus hours of pickle ball as there were 11 players today. I then drove to Tampa Airport and picked up the kids then dropped Tyler off at his place of work and went by Amy's and dropped her and their luggage and car seat seat off before heading back home. Amy was so glad to see this little punkin but Ava didn't seem overly excited about their reunion at first,however that changed as the time worn on. Ava was out with me in the back yard as the temps once again hit the low 70's and I opened the windows for a good airing out. We got a little garden work in, Ava picked several flower heads and tore them up(that's her thing) before she and Amy headed back to their house.
Well we are glad the kids had a great time in D.C.; I think they really missed Ava a lot and besides the weather was in the 20's the whole time they were there. We are also glad they are back safely. Watching little Ava sure makes one appreciate the joys of motherhood(fatherhood,too).
Well I will close for now as the house is not the same with all this quietness and everything in its place. I really like the atmosphere of toys everywhere and the look of little ones being around. Until tomorrow when Ava comes for lunch the house is back to its sterile look with everything in its place and Nancy with her channel surfing and me watching sports and reading is BORING. Later!!
