Happy Fourth!

I know I have not been connected to the "internet" world and family is staring to nag me, so I decided to finally start up a blog now that Ava has arrived to keep you all updated! Well Cole and I have made it through the first 3.5 weeks of parenthood! Ava has been such a blessing and a great addition to our family. She is sleeping and eating well, and starting to get her personality. It has been a lot of fun watching her change. It is going so fast, only 3 more weeks and mommy has to go back to work :( BOO.  She officially celebrated her first holiday, the 4th of July, up in Lansing at grandpa and grandma Odneal's houseboat. She did really great for her first outing! It got a little warm during the day but nothing that she couldn't handle, I have to admit she is a little spoiled with the air conditioning so the heat was an adjustment for her! She got to meet the Colorado crew which was nice as they are only here once or twice a year, and also received MORE gifts from Sharon, great grandma, and Helen...she is sooo spoiled already! ENOUGH GUYS!..ha ha I know that won't be stopping anytime soon. Hope you all had a safe and fun holiday as well, and check back for our family updates...mostly Ava's, since thats who everyone is interested in!
