Mommy's little helper

I  went outside to do some chores and peeked around the corner to see Ava raking leaves.  She saw the camera and started to pose.  I wanted to try and catch her in the act, but my girls can sense a camera!

A gift from a friend.

One of my best friends just had a baby.  We were discussing how I have no sisters and haven't been able to see a baby be born.  I've been through it four times, but never from the other end!  She was gracious enough to invite me to see her child enter this world.  She was so brave and strong.  I was amazed at the beautiful experience that birth is.  These little angels are so pure and the sacrifice that a mother goes through to bring them here is heroic!  Thanks again, friend for letting me be there.  Love you!
