On Labor Day, our very, very, very good friend, Moose, showed up at our doorstep. I've known of Moose for a long time and have been able to really get to know him over the past three years in Germany. It's a LONG story, but at the Academy, he and my brother were in the same squadron their last two years--they were squadron commanders together. So, Matt and my brother were together for the 1st two years and Moose and my brother were together for the last two. Odd, I know. Anyhow, Moose is the most wonderful person and he just adores Ava. He thinks Ava is the funniest little kid in the world and Ava does nothing but flirt with him. It's quite funny. He's even given her a new nickname since being here...he calls her, 'Bulldozer' or 'Dozer' for short, as he thinks it's hilarious that she bulldozes through the house with wreckless abandon. The funny thing is that she actually responds to her new name.
Anyhow, here are a few pictures of Ava and Moose spending some time together. I'll be making dinner in the kitchen and look over to find Ava sitting in Moose's lap fascinated by his cell phone or a book. It's just the cutest thing.
Ava wasn't so fond of the new blow up penguin that we bought for her. We now know why it was on clearance...
But the bongo drums made for many smiles...
That penguin is still looking at me...

Emmie was scared of the penguin too! She now likes it, but it took months (6) before she didn't cry and hide at the mere sight of it! Good Luck.
Ha! I think that's the same penguin that Emmie is scared of! One time she even burst out crying for no reason until Whit and I realized that Em could see the box the penguin came in when the closet door was open. That weird thing must scare all babies!
Holy crap! You'd think Whit and I were twins or something! That was not planned.
Maura was scared(and still is) of anything that wears glasses or a hat. She still gets a little freaked out when someone she knows comes in wearing a hat. Even Brent must remove his "cover" immediately upon entering the house!
That penguin IS creepy looking.
