A beautiful Sunday

I'm a little behind here, but this week has been exhausting...

Ava's baptism was last Sunday and it was a perfect day. She was so good during the entire event and I think maybe she felt her families & God's love all around her. I had a hard time paying attention...I didn't sleep but four hours the night before, I hardly ate any breakfast during the mess confusion of everyone coming in and out and getting ready, and Nick, bless his heart, kept me & Ava entertained throughout the entire Mass (mostly showing me how his pinkie finger was double jointed-lol I'm always laughing for days about Nick). Ava quickly zonked out after she was baptized with her baptismal candle in hand (or "sword" as Nick called it...this was in theme with him and Harris calling Ava SUPERBABY in her baptismal cape).

Dejan and I have disagreements about religion, but this day was about Ava and I think both of us felt something very special that day. I finally felt my emotions surface when Dejan grabbed and held my hand while Father blessed all three of us. God really did bless us with Ava and sometimes we forget that!

So after our fabulous brunch, an annoying Football game by those darn Bears (losing in the last few seconds--You know, I really need to reevaluate all these teams I cheer for) cleaning house after everyone was gone, & finally catching up on our sleep, two days later Ava gets sick for the first time. She is starting to get better today and I guess we made it through the first of many sick nights!

Until next time...
