HAPPY THANKSGIVING - AVA IS HOME!!!

As if we didn't already have enough to be thankful for this Thanksgiving,
we were given yet one more thing...

Ava came home from the hospital!!!!

And, yes...I have a million pictures!

Lexi & Hailey playing in the puddles on Thanksgiving.
Ava's face upon hearing she would be leaving peace & quiet to enter complete chaos!
No, we didn't give Hailey away, but she was too little to enter the NICU, so we made it a special thing for Lexi to come with us!
(We figure we'll just tape a picture of Hailey's head to this picture when she's old enough to realize she's missing!!)

Lexi was beyond excited to bring her baby sister home!
All ready to go!
Let's get this show on the road!

Lexi was thrilled to help feed her baby sister!

Here are some random pictures I took of Ava.





A better family picture.
(We still need a little improvement on all looking at the camera at the same time, but we're getting there!)


Ava's great-grandparents came to visit.
(Sean's grandparents)
Sean's parents with the girls.

Here are a few random pictures of Hailey.

Hailey and Grampies playing around!
Hailey just LOVED this blue lollipop!!
(I am not responsible for the hairdo...that's all Dad!)
She wanted to show me her blue lips and tongue!
