I have so much to catch up on here! Since the summer started Emma and our friends moved away to Oklahoma.
It's been almost 2 months and we have yet to meet our new neighbors. It's been pretty sad, but luckily we have several other friends in the neighborhood. The girls have been loving summer because we got them a nanny for the summer so they could stay home and take it easy. They have been two happy little campers! It's been nice for me too because she keeps the house clean and the mornings are a breeze. The girls get to sleep in and play all day. Mimi does reading and 1st grade workbooks with Ava each day to keep her up to speed.
We have been reading the book "have you filled a bucket today" and the girls have been working really hard to be bucket fillers (be kind to others) instead of bucket dippers. We even set up little pink buckets that gets filled with a marble every time they fill someone's bucket. When they dip from someone's bucket they get a marble removed. When the bucket is full they get a special treat. This system works great for Ava, but Brynn could care less, but it's a good thing that she isn't much of a bucket dipper.
On the weekends we've been having family movie night and the girls just love it. Ava eats up family time and goes on and on about how much she loves her family and that family movie night is the best night ever! :)
So far this summer we've received a visit from aunt Kristi, Ava's gone to science camp with cousin Trent, we've had mine and Ava's birthday party and we've already had a visit from Gigi, Papi and Emma and Christy who all flew in just to be with Ava on her birthday! We are blessed.
