Ava is 8 Months Old!!!

And what better way to celebrate than to have Jamie's oldest brother and his family finally home from living in Germany for the past 3 years. Bubbie, Pam, Lauren, Jessica and Nolan arrived home this past Sunday, and came to visit family in College Station this week. We were lucky enough to have them stay the night with us on Thursday. It was such a blessing to be able to visit with them and catch up on lost time. This was the first time for them to meet Miss Ava, and they all adored her. Ava really took to Bubbie. She would just blush and hide her face every time he looked at her! It was too cute!

I was so happy to be visiting with them, I didn't get that many pictures...but here are a few that I did get.

Ava and Nolan
Ava and Lauren. (Yes, there are two Lauren Harris' in the family.)
Watching soccer in the new media room. Nolan loved all of the walking sticks around our house. He even let one crawl all over him!!
If there is a motorized vehicle around, Jamie just HAS to take the baby for a ride. Yes, one more redneck thing we do in our front yard! (To date she has ridden a lawn mower, 4-wheeler, and go cart...all in our front yard!)
We also enjoyed sever games of cornhole or beanbags on our front porch while they were here. I am sure our neighbors just LOVE us.


We are SO happy to have our family back in the U.S.!! Welcome Home!!

For just a second, I though Ava had pigtails in that 4-wheeler picture. but it's just a print on her daddies shirt.
