And So It Began...

{Note - Blogger had some major issues and was down for 2 days and when it

finally came back up, this post had been deleted so I've tried to re-create it.}

And continues daily, even hourly:

They're not fighting in this one but I love how Ava has no intention of going down the slide until Gracie tries and then, "No, it's my turn!"

But much of the time they do play very well together. 

I think I tend to take those times for granted.

{This was shortly after we moved into our current house

 and had all the cabinet doors off to be painted.}

This one is for Aunt Steph:

This picture is especially sweet to me because as soon as I have them ready to go somewhere I tell them to stand by the door and wait until I'm ready. Almost always, they end up fighting over who gets to hold the door knob, or one is screaming because they're standing on the rug and the other one is trying to move it, etc.  But this time they were hugging and giggling and being so sweet.  =)
