they say

~Ava just said she wished she had s sleep time game with bathtubs and beds and you can match them... But you get more points if you get a tub and a bed cause it means your clean and sweet. Yeah can you buy me that game mommy?

~Ava and Ella were eating at table and I turned on extra Christmas twinkle lights and Ava sighed and said ohhhhh ellla this is Sooo ssoooo soo Married!!

What Ava??

You know mommy ( singsong sweet voice) soooooo married and mommys and daddy's loving and kissing and lights on and MARRIED.

o! ...Romantic.......

~Ava: I need more salt on here cause my teeth are getting bored.

~Ava after gulping an extra big mouthful of milk.. " wow - that went right down the drain...." her finger following that path from ther mouth - down her throat - to her tummy...

~ Jacks new things to say are:
 thats not nice!
oh gosh....oh gosh...

" nothinnnnnnn" nothinnnnnnn mommy.."

ache

Sitting with Ava eating some homemade chicken soup for lunch.. Getting lost in my heartache for the families in newton ct. Dazing off sort of wallowing when I hear Ava's content little sigh ... she looks up at me and says "its a beautiful day in this room mommy"

.... Yep it is....

savoring every single moment. thankful.

Ava after bath: me so fresh and me hands are so soft and fluffy

Ava says:
Cinderella has a fairy godmother but we have GiGi AND Papa Bear!

Ava seeing a commercial for the voice... Points to Adam Levine and says " he's kinda pretty mama!!"
