We are in the double digits!!!!

Today marks 26 weeks til Ava's ETA!!! This means that we are now in the double digits...98 days and counting YAY! Jennifer took these picture of me while I was making my daily lunch visit. Yes I do sit in the floor to eat my lunch lol... it won't be too long before I will not be able to get down there though so I'll have to go to pulling one of Mr. Gunby's chairs out of his office to make my visit.

I am waiting on some pictures from Tim's dad and Vivian to upload from Christmas... it was a busy two days with all of the driving and eating, but it was worth it. Can't wait til next year when we have little Ava to tag along with us!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

This post is completely un-baby related BUT the above tree is the very first tree that Tim and I have ever went and actually picked out and brought home and decorated together. This is our third Christmas together and it is the first Christmas that I have not had to beg to decorate! This year I was actually not motivated at all and Tim was all "We got to have a tree!"...He is normally so bah humbug (sp) about Christmas. So here is a picture of it in all of its glory...of course presents will be placed under it:) Merry Christmas everybody!!!
