Hajdu Cousins






Ava loves her Hajdu cousins. Kate dotes on her and would eat her up if we let her. She simply adores Ava and constantly says, "she is so cute" which a mother loves to hear ;-) Jack thinks Ava is cool and is learning about babies since he hasn't really been around them much. He quickly figured out how to entertain her so she wouldn't interfere with him and his Uncle Chris playing Xbox. He surrounded her with ALL of his webkinz - and it worked! Austen was precious with Ava. We kept telling him...share, share your toys. He has a little sister due to arrive in late July and although he has been running the house for the last three years he is about to quickly learn what it means to share his space and toys with a baby sister.

Father's Weekend


We celebrated Chris for the weekend! Yep...he got the full weekend deal for his first Father's Day. We surprised him with imported beer and dark chocolates on Friday, a Turkish espresso maker Saturday morning and breakfast in bed Sunday morning - complete with eggs, bacon, fruit, grilled zucchini and squash, pancakes, mimosa, coffee and V8 juice. Then, Ava and Chris relaxed while they laid in bed to catch up on the latest in sports and celebrity gossip. It is so sweet to see them together. There is nothing better in life than to see my baby and her daddy together. I love to see their bond and how they interact with each other. Ava stood in the window looking at him while he worked in the backyard Saturday morning. Who knew a little angel would bring us so much joy - it is beyond belief. We are fortunate to celebrate Ava every day and to share her little milestones together as a family.

Dallas, TX weekend with Hajdu Family!


We spent the weekend in Dallas with the Hajdu side of the family. We celebrated the pending arrival of Addison Elizabeth Hajdu - due in late July to Scott and Amy K. Hajdu and big brother, Austen who recently turned three. We had a fabulous time. Ava got to spend much needed time with her cousins, Aunts and Uncles and her Mimi and Bopa. They haven't seen her since Christmas when she was only three months old. Chris and his brother Mark took Ava and her cousin Jack to the museum Saturday while the girls celebrated Amy K. at a baby shower. Ava loved the museum! With Jack's help she excitedly interacted with gadgets that made up the children's exhibit and even crawled through a life (kid) size ant maze. I think the photo featured here with Ava and her cousin Jack is precious. He is on his knees and she is standing next to him while he shows her how to work the puzzle. There is nothing more adorable than being with your cousins!
