Ever since Grandma Penny landed on U.S. soil, Ava has been asking when she could sleep at Grandma’s house. She has been literally counting down the days to when she can have a “sleepover–all by myself!” And I think that she may possibly have told every single person that looked her direction today that she was going to grandma’s house tonight!
After dinner she filled her backpack with Bubba, Bubba’s friends and an assortment of blankies. She added in an extra change of clothes just in case “Grammy let’s me stay two days.” When I told her that I would miss her too much if she stayed two days, she reassured me that I had daddy and that she would come home again.
There she goes. I think she’s going to miss me.
And while that little mouse is away, this cat is going to play.
I’m helping my friends out with a little filming project tomorrow. It’s been an extra long time since I’ve gotten to play in front of cameras, so it should be great fun. If you think of me tomorrow, please pray that I’m of some good use to my friends.
Well, I’m off to sleep. I’ll let you know if any sleep was had at grandma’s house.


Hey, bare ankles! Is it officially spring there? Have fun, Ava! Have fun, Mama!
Oh have fun today!
Maybe I should say: Have as much fun as Ava.
Hi…this is Grammy…. and Ava and I had a wonderful time! She slept like a curled up kitten and didn’t wake up til 8:30…..jumped out of bed and said “It’s morning!” with a huge smile. Then proceeded to make my coffee, have breakfast, take a shower, then a bath, and finally by noon we got to the park! We had a precious time together!
Could it be? Is Ava off to her big adventure in capris and a light sweater!?
