NYC & Chiefs pre-season home opener!

The CUTEST Chief EVER!!
Nana, Aunt Steph, Aunt Dani, and Sam took Ava to Build-A-Bear on Saturday. She built a golfer bear! (Papa and daddy were busy building her new swingset!!)


The New York Stock Exchange. What an AMAZING experience!!!!!!
So my second favorite part of the trip was walking across the Brooklyn bridge to get to....Grimaldi's. BY FAR, the BEST pizza EVER. A true NYC experience and SO worth the hour-long wait in line.

Friday the 13th and other fun happenings!

Hello blog readers. Hope everyone is doing well. Things have been busy around our household. I have been busy doing a few DIY projects around the house. I can check off guest bath, lower patio, and fireplace.. and now this week I have started a kitchen renovation, putting together Ava's new swingset/playset thing, then Ava's bathroom (hopefully) and then maybe done?!?
As for Ava, she talks and talks and talks. Most of the time, you can only pick out a few words per sentence, but they are starting to come together. Potty training is still going really well and she loves wearing her easy-ups. After several months of telling people she's two, we finally heard her tell nana last night that she's one. Just in time for her to be two :) She is doing really well with counting and while she knows her eyes, ears, mouth, nose etc.. but she would much rather show you where yours are.

Finally, as for me.. I recently accepted a promotion to senior associate! HOORAY! I guess I also celebrated a birthday on Friday the 13th. Below are a few pics of birthday weekend.



Ava didn't want to take a birthday picture with me, so this was the best we could do :)


Ava admiring my handy work :) I forgot to take a "before" picture but it used to be gray ceramic tile, now it's a travertine/glass mosaic tile with a travertine border and tile on the base. Much better :)
