Here is this morning eating a banana while waiting to go for our morning walk. We always go for a walk after we drop Ava off at school. Ava is really doing well in school. She seems to really like it. They have "show and tell" every week and I think that this is her favorite part of school so far. She does come home very tired, so I think that they keep the kids very busy. On Friday she brought home chapter one of her math book all completed. She was very proud to explain each and every page to me in detail. It was a lot of patterns and sorting and matching.

"Let's get moving Mom!"
Here is Brendan doing some "thinking".

Paul has a new job at Frito Lay and he has to spend this week in Boston for training. He left on Sunday and will be back on Friday or Saturday, and I'll tell you they way that everybody has been acting around here, you would think that he went to the other side of the world and that he is going to be gone a year as opposed to a week. Ava really misses him. She cried for two days before he left and she has cried the past two nights that he has been gone. I don't think that she understands fully that five days really isn't that long. I guess that to her it feels a lot longer. She has also been very worried about him as well. She is worried about him getting lost. She was worried about him having food, she had to make sure that his hotel room had a TV and blankets. As he was walking out the door on Sunday she yelled to him, "Dad don't forget to take your bags out of the car and bring them into the hotel!" Even Brendan has been crawling around the house looking for Daddy from time to time. Ava calls him every night to wish him goodnight and last night she almost had him in tears! I think that it is funny but at the same time it is great to see your child so full of love. She is a Daddy's girl! Anyhow, it will be great to have him home on Friday!
