Month End Review

April, just like most months has ended before we even really got our heads around it. But here are a few... April memories, old favorites, new favorites and the beginnings of some new adventures:

Asper Kourt Cd Release Party at Kelly's!

This is the famous Ava Smooch Face... very cute and sweet BUT she's starting to try to smooch EVERY new friend she makes (kids AND their parents/grandparents at the park, grocery store cashiers, friendly waitresses)... I think we need to work on that!

We were so happy to see Mitch for Easter!

Ava seems to know exactly when I'm eating ice cream... she comes running into the room with this face as soon as the bowl is scooped!

We discovered that Ava likes getting her hair done! She got her first blow out (by mom) and likes to wear these Velcro rollers around the house ;-)

Dancing with Kev at Matt And Chandra's Wedding! Oh and Ava Loves Dancing with the Stars... go figure!

The latest Adventure= Potty Training!
Not really- Ava likes her little potty, standing in it, sitting on it, even fake pushing and wiping but she doesn't seem to have any real use for it besides giving us some great pictures, film footage and some good laughs!

Sor'n... What the heck?!?

Ok... So I'm afraid our "clever" blog title might not have come off the way we planned. Are you all confused? We were going for a play on the word Soar AND "Sor"enson... As you all know Kurt's love for airplanes and well- flying in general far far surpasses LOVE- so we thought it was a fitting name for our family blog. As I look at it I keep seeing Sor'n High- like some weird new High School- I'm a little obsessive though, so there's a chance I'm the only one who viewed it this way initially and now everytime all of you see it that's what you will think of- GREAT! I'm afraid it's too late to go back now so Sor'n it is... hmmm maybe I should have punctuated it differently... or spelled it differently... AHHHH- I'm done thinking about it, it's too late- BUT now you know what we were going for ;-)

Here We Go...

I don't know why the idea of starting a Blog was so overwhelming! I suppose it's the same for most new things in our lives, overwhelming in thought- not so bad once you dive in. However, starting a blog is a choice (one I have chosen to throw to the back burner for many months now) and learning how to say- cook dinner, feed a crying baby and chat with your husband about his day at work just sort of happens to you. This concept can pretty much sum up our past year and a half. Stuff happened to us and we just figured out how to deal with it moment by moment. It's been interesting, crazy and So Wonderful! Turns out- I love life this way! You HAVE to let go of so much planning and controlling and just live (sometimes just survive) one day at a time. When people say a baby changes everything they aren't kidding! So, back to the overwhelming... As it turns out, the whole blog thing was so overwhelming (why? I don't really know- I think it has something to do with procrastinating- a technique borrowed from my school days) that it took us (me) 18 months to get on board with the idea... so much for documenting Miss Ava's every waking moment! I guess 18 months feels like a significant age marker for her and a perfect jumping off point for me- so here we go!
