WOW! It's July 1st! I knew time would fly once Ava arrived but never did I imagine how fast! I will return to work next week. Ava's babysitter is on vacation next week so our niece Ashley is coming down from Akron to help me out for the week. I will be working in the office half days and at home the other half of the day. I will then start back full time at the office the following week. It worked out well, I would rather ease back into my routine rather than jumping in with both feet. I am sad about having to leave her, I imagined it would be easier since this is the second time around but it's not. I know once I get back into the swing of things I will feel better and I know we are leaving her in wonderful hands. I just can't leave a job that I enjoy, not to mention such a family friendly place to work when things are so unpredictable with the economy.
Ava is fantastic!!!! She is smiling and talking all the time now. We just love to hear her make her noises! She loves just laying on her blanket kicking and cooing. She is growing out of her 0-3 month clothes and moving into 3-6 months. She is still waking about once in the middle of the night for feeding and not on a set schedule yet but I imagine once we start our routine next week she will start her own schedule and it will be easier on all of us.
Aiden is also doing great! I have been taking him to the pool as much as possible. If the weather is nice next week I might try to take him and my niece to the water park for the day. He has been asking to go all summer. He deserves a special treat for being such a wonderful big brother. He enjoys playing outside with our neighbor Alex. It's nice having a neighbor the same age as him! Next month he will start kindergarten! We are getting him prepared for that and he seems to be very excited about starting school like the big kids! He will continue to attend his childcare facility and they will bus him to and from school each day.
In other news, my car is still at the dealership. This has turned out to be a total mess. The car has about $8,000 worth of damage. I don't even want to drive it even after it's repaired. The insurance company called and is expecting us to pay for part of the tires since they have to put two new tires on the car and the tires were not new at the time of the accident. (mind you they did not need replaced either) We are basically telling them we refuse to pay for tires when their customer hit our car. It's insane to me that they are seriously putting up a fight over $175 when the car has $8000 in damages???? I let Chris deal with these type issues, hopefully we will get a resolution soon but at any rate, I am going to try to get out of my lease and into a new car. I just don't feel safe driving my two children around in a car with that much damage. If I owned it I would sell it and I would never purchase a car knowing it had that much damage at one time.
On a lighter note....our basement is just about finished!!! We had our carpet installed last Friday and we have our furniture arriving this Friday! We are so excited! I will post pics once we get everything in place. It's going to be so nice having the extra space. It will also serve as our "guest room" since the sectional has a pull out and we put in a half bath down there.
We are looking forward to celebrating the 4th of July this weekend! Saturday is our community parade in the morning and we plan on attending fireworks that night. Sunday we will be attending a birthday party for our little buddy Seth! He is turning 4 years old on the 4th!
Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th and I should have some new pics to post next week of our weekend!
