Home from Aruba!

We had such a great time! Ava is such a beach baby! She loved the ocean, especially her float. And she loved playing in the sand with her ducks and sand toys. The weather was perfect (a little cloudy at times), we were at the beach every day. We had a ton of fun going to dinner every night. Grammie watched Ava so we could go on the Kuku Kanoocoo with Chris, Jess, Drown and Val. It was so much fun!!! We had our best dinner on Friday night at the Italian restaurant at the lighthouse. The view was amazing, and Ava was so good! Good times!

Off to Aruba!!!

The Machado Family is off to Aruba for some much needed R&R!

Happy Birthday Ava!

She's one year old!! Oh, and did she have fun! We had a family party on Saurday, and it was so fun! Ava had a blast with all her relatives. She ate cake, opened gifts, and practically ran around the house! She loved all her new toys and clothes, and she especially enjoyed sticking her hands in her butterfly cake (made by mom)!

Tomorrow's the Big Day!

I can't believe that Ava will be a year old tomorrow! It is 11:30 am right now, just about the time I felt my first contraction (during my massage). And 30 hours later...there was Ava Grace! How time flies! I think I can relate to my mother more now in terms of how it can be hard (at times) to watch them grow. What happened to my little baby that would fall asleep in my arms? Now she's walking...and practically running...everywhere! I don't miss those sleepless nights, but I do miss (just a little) holding that little tiny baby in my arms! She's the best! That's all there is to it!
