A New Look and Ava's Dance Recital

This past Thursday morning when I was coming home from work I was talking to Brian on the phone. He informed me that at 2am he got a phone call. The person had said it was the police department and could he come to the front door. When he got to the door he saw that it was the police and that a drunk driver had driven up in our lawn and ran into and knocked down our lamp post. We are so lucky that the driver did not run into our house or Brian's car which was on the driveway. They found the driver a few houses up passed out in his car. We were going to replace this lamp post anyway we just got a head start. So now our house looks even more ridiculous with the work we are doing.

Also, this past weekend Ava had her dance recital. Thursday night was the dress rehearsal and Friday and Saturday night was the recital. This was Ava's third year for the recital. I thought she would be fine. I was wrong. She cried every night before going on stage. Once she got on stage she did great. She did her ballet and tap dances. Brian's parents and Sister and her two kiddos came up from Oklahoma. That was so nice and I know Ava really thought it was neat they came to watch her dance. Her biggest fan was Hayden. He was so proud of his sissy! He told her that she did an awesome job! Let's just say that I am so happy her recital is over with.
Overall, Brian and I are very proud of Ava!
