Ava's baby shower, thats right, I said AVA!

These friends hosted a lovely baby shower for me & Ava (I'm still having fun saying her name, so I am saying it every chance I get today).


Katie, my friend on the far right from the above pic made me this amazing cake.
Here's her blog site, if you need a great cake, she is your girl, or if you just want to see some incredible cakes check this out: http://cakeittothelimit.blogspot.com/

Ryan sent this gift to be opened first at the shower, I was really confused at first but once you start to sort the colors...


You get this. Our family: Ryan, Heather, Rory and AVA!



So there it is in true Ryan style, he held out, thought about it at length and then was ready to commit to it, but had to figure out a surprising way to tell me. I found out later he had to spray the blocks white and then hand painted the colors. Mine is Red, since that's my favorite color, Ryan's is of course OSU colors, Rory is black and white for obvious reasons and Ava is pink for also obvious reasons. Really truly will never forget this sweet surprise, one of the many reasons I love him and I know he will be a great dad for Ava (got to say it one more time before I end this post!)

Yea for baby girl with a name! Ava is sweet and goes perfectly with Askew! So sorry I couldn't make the shower yesterday. I have a little birthday gift I am making for you and hope to get it mailed on Monday. And maybe a little something for Ava, too. :)
