Grandparents Visit

So the grandparents are visiting from Indiana this week. Ava stayed home from daycare four days last week to be spoiled round the clock, watch too much TV, and read her favorite books over, and over, and over. She caught a cold/cough mid week, but other than that has been happy.

On Thursday night we took the entire family to a Charlotte Knights baseball game. It was a lot of fun! Almost better than the major leagues, as where else can you get seats right behind home plate for $10 and beer for $2? They are a farm team for the White Sox, so we had a little Chicago connection going on. Everyone had fun, but we kept Ava up until 10pm, which is two hours past her bedtime. Oops!

Friday Ava had her two year appointment at the pediatrician. She weighs 23.5 pounds (10th %) and is 33.5 inches tall (75th %). Can you guess whose genes she got? She is perfectly healthy and is progressing well with her development. She only had to get one vaccination, so that was nice.

Friday we also took a day trip to the Billy Graham Library here in Charlotte. It opened last year under great fanfare, with four living Presidents attending the opening ceremonies. Very much like a Presidential Library, the venue walks you through Billy Graham's life room by room. It's really amazing how much of an impact this one man has had on the entire world. It's a free exhibit, so I highly recommend it to anyone passing through Charlotte.

Our weekend has been a little bumpy, as Grandma had a really bad pain in her side that ended up requiring outpatient surgery yesterday. She's doing fine and is here at the house recovering before she and Grandpa head back to Indiana.

Today is Grandpa's 65th birthday, so we celebrated with yummy ice cream cake. Ava helped blow out the candles.
