At the Park

Ava's cousin Mary was over for a few hours on Wednesday and we all went to the park. Here are a few pics from our excursion.

Happy Birthday Auntie Patty!

Ray of Light

Hillbilly Slipp

We received this red onesie from Pete's co-workers when we left Ontario. They bought it at Pete's favourite store Bass Pro Shops. Here Ava is modelling it with her camo pants. We had to get a pic of Pete and Ava all decked out in their BPS gear before she grows out of it! Doesn't she look like a boy!

Giggle Bug!

Here's Ava with her addictive laugh! Not so sure exactly what it is that get's her so giggly. Pete was simply throwing foam cubes around the room! This instruction is for you Mom...all you do is click on the following to see the clip! ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tuNEDqSWdA

Happy Easter!

Don't worry everyone...Ava doesn't sleep with all these animals!

We had a great Easter weekend visiting everyone. The Easter Bunny found Ava and so did everyone else! Thanks to the Smith Cousins, Papa and Nanny & Grampy for all the presents!

Happy Birthday Uncle Gary!

Uncle Gary and family are in F'ton for Easter and Birthday celebrations. Tonight we're all going to cheer on the Leafs kick the Canadiens ass and hope Philly Flyers somehow does the same to the Islanders! Please oh please!

Jolly Jumper

I've tried and tried to get Ava enthusiastic about the Jolly Jumper but she doesn't seem all that interested! She may hop a time or two but that's it...then a yawn! She seems to be more interested in how it works and holds up (future Engineer?!). Here are a few pics from today!

Ava turned 8 months old yesterday. Wowy!

It's Official...

I've started looking for a job! I have been applying to various places. I can't say there is anything too exciting out there for me to get excited for. Does Fredericton offer anything out there besides Customer service, or Administrative Assistant or Part-Time? Geesh! I can't believe I have to start from the bottom all over again! I can't get my mind around the Permanent Part-Time jobs...whatever. I was offered a part-time job at Canada Post doing Customer Service but it's very much part-time and I really need Full time. I have been searching all the job sites morning, noon and night and applying to anything that is reasonable and full time. It really is a job on it's own to hunt for a job!

Better late than never!

Well it's been a few weeks since we've know but I'd like to post a BIG Congratulations to Peter on his new appointment as Staff Accountant at NB Liquor. No more contract! We were getting a bit worried as his contract we moved home for was ending in June! Ava and I are very proud! :)

Go Leafs Go!

Ava's hoping for a big win tonight to help the Leafs squeeze in to the playoffs!

Leblanc, Kupkee, Slipp

This past Saturday Ava explored her Acadien roots in La Coeur d'Acadie a.k.a Cap-Pelé. Ava got to visit her Great Mémère Leblanc. We were lucky to get a 4 generations pic as Nanny went for a visit too! Uncle Gary and the family stopped in as well so we also got a great grandchildren pic too.

Marshmallow Girl!

Here's Ava in her winter white snowsuit. It finally fits her as it should and it's Spring! This suit is a 6-9 months size which she hasn't worn in a while compared with all her other clothes. I just bought 18-24 months for her to fit in to from Old Navy! She's so darn tall all her pants are short and she's only 8 months old!

Splish Splash!

Ava has graduated from her baby tub to the kitchen sink. She loves bathtime so much! I just can't get enough of her smile!

New Seat!

Ava has officially outgrown her first car seat and has moved up to her bigger seat! It's so sad to pack up the old one...it just seems like yesterday we bought it! I personally find the new car seat a huge pain in the a$$. Anyone reading this please let me know if you've found it difficult to tighten the straps in the car while the seat is still rear facing and in the middle seat. One word...awkward as H-e- double hockey sticks! I think you need to be a contortionist to get her in safe and secure! I also find Ava sits quite erect in the seat and her head hangs forward if she falls asleep. We are wondering if this happens in all 3-in 1 seats or just the one we purchased. Please let me know!

Ava 'Rosie Cheeks' Slipp

Yesterday (Saturday) we decided to go for a little hike through Odell park. It was so nice to be out in milder weather! Ava found the walk so nice and relaxing she had a nap on Daddy's back!

Whoa Baby!

Here's Ava with her crazy hat hair after our walk!

No Reason

A few pics taken last week.
