It was a long and fun summer. We made it through the steamy hot days of August, week to week summer camps, spontaneous mommy created activities, play dates with neighbor and school friends, days without any planned activities, weekend road trips, weekend guests and one of our first real and memorable family vacations until we finally made it to Labor Day weekend...Ava's 4th Birthday.
Several mornings leading up to the "Big Day" Ava would ask..."is today my birthday" until finally I was able to reply with an exciting YES! This year, September 4th was also the start of the 2012-2013 day of pre-school at Grace Garden. What an exciting day for Ava Hajdu! Of course, we celebrated turning 4 with school friends, blueberry muffins and yogurt covered pretzels.
The following weekend, we celebrated at home with neighborhood friends, cousins and school friends. Ava decided on a s'more themed birthday party and it turned out to be a big hit. As her guests arrived to the house she offered them water and immediately wanted to show them her back yard. I caught her coming into the house in a hurry and I asked her what she was doing and as she ran to the front door to look out the mail slot she told me she wanted to see if more friends were coming. Ahhhh, to be so innocent and excited about life is beautiful.
