"Our Angel Has Arrived"

Ava Lorraine...

It is hard to believe that Ava is 6 weeks old. Time is flying and I am enjoying my time at home with her. The timing could not have been more perfect in regards to my school schedule. I have been off and will be able to take the rest of the year off and start back in August. By that time, she will be over five months old.

Claudia is doing great also. She is growing into a beautiful young lady and has taken the role of "Big Sister" wonderfully. I know Ava will really look up to her one day.
She smiled today more than she ever has. She is really enjoying her bouncer and has been sleeping well at night. She usually sleeps from 10 or 11 until 3 or 4 and then goes back from 3 until 8. We can't complain about that at all!

My mother's friend is throwing us a "diaper" shower this weekend. It will be fun to have a shower with Ava in full attendance! Claudia, Mom and I are looking forward to that!

May 16th will be Ava's Christening. We will have the baptism during the school mass at Our Lady of Lourdes. Her dress is absolutely beautiful! I am very excited that Father John was willing to let my "kids" be a part of it. My best friend Jessie and Miguel Gonzalez will be Ava's Godparents!!

Jessie and I were pregnant at the exact same time and baby Susanna was born just five short days after Ava, in the same hospital! We hope they will grow up together and be best friends like their mommies are! They seem to be getting along great already! This sleep over was very quiet!
Hope everyone is well! We will post again when we have pictures from the baptism.
