We can’t wait to have Ryan back. I got to talk to him yesterday and besides a couple of guys being attached by a swarm of bees on the way up the mountain, they were all doing great.
I’m thinking Ava and Finn are starting to look a little more alike… Check out this video of Ava (she’s the same age as Finny Binny)
I love baby belly laughs….
And sweet baby faces…
haha…that photo of Ava makes me laugh every time!
It’s been hard to post…I seriously have to small children climbing on me right now. Good thing Ryan will be back tomorrow.

That last photo is precious – you clearly need to print it out as a poster and hang it somewhere in your home!

Ava giggling is just wonderful – and yes – other than Ava’s hair seems curlier – Finn does seem to be growing into his sister’s great looks (he is SOOOO sweet in your pictures) thanks for sharing big smiles.

My goodness the last photo is awesome. Somehow photos like that strike a chord with me more than the posed smiling ones…

LOL we understand about trying to chase around the kids without the help of your other set of hands.
Loving it when you post, though, because love seeing you and those adorable kids!

That last picture made my day!

Mommy is tired uh? It’s your turn for a little retreat next, and we can all tease Ryan in your absence.
Ava was the cutest little thing, Finn just looks exactly like his daddy to me. I see alot of you in Ava.

Awww love the video! They both look very much alike. ♥ We’ll be praying Ryan makes it home safe and sound.

I so so love Ava’s dress! Beautiful dress for a beautiful girl. And I agree, Finn looks like a little man version of his sister!

I seriously remember that night with Ava like it was yesterday! Good times!

LOVE the pictures!!!! Man those are some cute kids.

Awe!

You are such a trooper with those two babies. Sheesh! I’d be crazy by now (which I’m pretty sure you are).
Ava’s a silly girl. That laugh tickles me.

My sister and I looked EXACTLY alike when we were Ava and Finn’s age. My mom wasn’t really good at dating the pictures, so there are a few that she goes, “umm… I think that’s Cassie” but she’s totally guessing.
Now there is about a 5″ height difference (I’m 6’1″ and she’s 5’6″) between the two of us, so it’s much easier to tell us apart. But we still look a lot alike.

How sweet! Hang in there! My husband travels a lot for his job and, although I only have one son (who’s 2), I know how tired those adorable little ones can make you! Thanks for posting!

lol – SO CUTE. Glad things are going well for you all.
{reply}
Prayers for a safe trip home. Great post!

Oh my goodness–they do look so much alike! That picture of Ava is absolutely adorable. What an expression. You have such cute kids.
{reply}
Allison – You’re children are so stinkin cute ~ I love LOVE the last picture of Ava! Those types of photos are my favorites
They are the ones I like to frame

They really do look alike in those last 2 pictures.

I just said to a friend this last weekend that I thought a baby’s laughter is the closest thing to perfect we can experience this side of heaven. It is so unadulterated. I love it!

Love the pictures, and the one of Ava as a baby is priceless! I can totally understand what you’ve got going on, my daughter will be 4 in July, and my son will be 2 in July, and posting anything on the computer is work for me unless my fiancee is here! You’d think mothers were made to be jungle gyms! you have a beautiful family, and it’s nice to see you post for a change! (although I DO enjoi Ryan’s posts too; it’s nice to hear from a mom like me!)
