Then, now and even nower

I always love looking at how kids change as they grow up so I'm going to be lazy and just do one of those posts. Actually I'm not even going to consider it lazy because there are more posts this month then all of this year so far and those who are still popping in here are just happy to see something new :)

So here is Ava now and if you go here you will see a similar picture from 2008.
And just for the record this is post 472.

The Cat

She lays in bed as the cat circles her. Soots rubs up against her face for affection or cleans Ava's hair before cuddling up into a ball on her pillow. Ava's voice calls out "Oh man Soots thinks my hair is yarn".
This morning as I combed out Ava's hair I found one of soots claws in it. I guess Soots does think her hair is yarn.

Update

Ava's hair..... still looks the same, I got sick and we cancelled her appointment. I have yet to make a full recovery so no new appointment has been booked.

I have a working keyboard that means I can do this ggggggggggggggggggggggg and it doesn't take me an hour weeeeeeeeeeeee and look at the way that e just dances effortlessly across the screen. The old keyboard went even more down hill having me abandon typing for the most part altogether. The s, w, h stopped working as well, so along with the e and the g there weren't may word I could use to get my point across so instead of madness I chose avoidance.

And just so I can add a new picture I love..... we got our trampoline up over Easter weekend and it is the best kid distractor ever. All three of them will spend hours in there, all yelling BEST TOY EVER!

Hair

Ava is going to get her hair cut on Thursday! Like cut to her shoulders! I want to put my foot down and say no! no! no! but that just isn't who I am. It is not my hair or my head and it is not an unreasonable request.
Unless, maybe someone out there can say "yes it is, you have every right to lock her in a tower and throw away the key, she did say that she wanted to be a princess right? so that makes it an acceptable option".

It looks like this now

I want to cry
cuz that hair
that hair she wants to cut off
is BABY HAIR

which seriously Jen
let go already!

I LOVE this word

A lot of the blogs I read have stopped posting regularly....... what? oh yes, that kettle is very black.

I can't even remember the last thing I posted and I haven't taken many pictures of life here in the little house. In this house I don't really have enough room to take any pictures. Standing at one end of the room you can't capture crazy bouncing, non standy still children, WHO WON'T STOP MOVING!

We have a long list of things that have to be here. A friend of ours came over and she was all "this house is.... cozy" when you repeat cozy enough times it starts to sound a lot more like crazy.

I was just off searching for some adequate picture to share with you when someone decided there would be non of that and up chucked into my lap. All is now cleaned up and there is a two year old with red cheeks curled up in my lap.


Here is a pic of a great new place I found to do a photo session.
Hahaha I just read that back to myself and yes dear friends life is that scattered :0)

It seems that winter has started, we have been lucky so far. Just two days ago I was outside cleaning out the car in a sweater while Ella slept in her car seat.
Today is cold and snowy, the roads are icy, brrrrrr IT REALLY IS WINTER!
That meant a good day to clean and relax in a warm house.
So relaxing..........
