Fun With Ava

Hard to believe, but looking back, it seems like all we talk about is Ava and eating! And we have lots of pictures of her in an eating environment. Just wanted you to know that she is actually up to other things! She can now pull herself up! She crawls, she sits, she loves to walk with you if you hold her hands.

So, above you have a picture of Ava standing. Aunt Jenni is right there, don't worry! And she is actually at our house, not at a restaurant! Now we have new problems to think about. Like getting rid of stuff on the coffee table, mostly books. Like baby-proofing all the cabinets. We don't have a lot of little things around anyway, because our dogs tails sweep those around if we do.

I said Ava could crawl, but I have not actually taken a picture yet. So far, I have just been on the floor clapping my hands and saying "Good Job!" I just watch in amazement. In this picture she seems to be saying, "Just what can I do now to amaze Grammy!"

When she sits down, she is actually right at good "dog licking on the head" level. Belle and Sadie are amazed at this baby crawling, too. Ava is not shy about patting them on the nose, though. Ava has been doing "the army crawl" thing for a little while. Jay and Sarah said that the other day, she was lying on the floor. She just crawled up and sat down, looked around, crawled to the sofa, and climbed it and stood there. Quick learner!

Just wanted you to know we do more than eat at the Worley house!

"Teach us to make the most of our time,
so that we may grow in wisdom."
Psalm 90:12


"For I long to visit you
so I can share
a spiritual blessing with you
that will help you
grow strong in the Lord."
Romans 1:11

"Now Somewhere in the Black Mining Hills of Dakota....

...lived a young man named Rocky Raccoon."  I always thought that song said "South" Dakota.  Are there Black Hills in both Dakotas?  I'm sure I don't know and am not really going to take the time to find out, no matter how easy it is with Google, Bing, etc. After Cabin Time, This set of Worleys, young and old, headed for those Black Hills.  We were going to see Mount Rushmore.  In South Dakota.  And to see anything else that struck our fancy.  So we struck out in our trusty Jeep and Mini-van, loaded with kids and snacks.  On July 30.  We saw lots of motorcycles as we went.  Lots. Of. Motorcycles!  Come to find out, it was the start of the annual Sturgis Rally.  In Sturgis, SD.  If you do not know what that is, feel free to Google it! Our must stop place was Wall Drug Store.  In Wall, South Dakota.  We stopped, we ate, we shopped around.  It is a lovely place to spend a lot of time walking around. ...

Ava Continues to Learn!

Image
There is no doubt about it! Ava is our favorite granddaughter! Watching her grow up and learn new things is one of our favorite pastimes. Just look at her in the picture above. She is pulling Pop's tie out and examining the pattern. She looked at it for quite a while. Pop looks like he is encouraging her, doesn't he? Here she is looking at her book that teaches her colors in english and spanish, along with the names of animals. See her little hand holding the book? Doesn't she look extremely intelligent? But then, Sarah and Jay BOTH have very intelligent parents. Here is Ava with her first toy at Grammy's house. My friends kept telling me we needed a toy or two at our house for Ava. Mike and I chose a piano with moving instruments on the top. It is really fun to watch Ava with this. She really likes it. She of course wants to put it in her mouth, too. But she can bang on all the keys as much as she wants. It produces some fun music. And when she is olde...

Judi's Puppet Repair!

Image
 We are Puppet coaches at our church.  The kid have a competition coming up soon, and the kids have noticed some of our puppets need repairs.  Imagine!  Most of the puppets are only 15-20 years old!  They are the same puppets that Jay and Jenni used in high school, only older!  Making repairs to the body is not hard.  Just need a sewing machine or a needle and thread.  Been there, done that many times. However, most of the puppets need new hair.  I have never done that before.  So I googled how to make puppet hair, to no avail.  How to use craft fur for puppet hair, nothing out there.  I took a good look at my puppet's hair.                   Just some simple stitching all around the wig. Just how hard could this be?  Anything would be an improvement!  So I dug in.  First step....remove the current head of hair.  Not hard at all.  Just...
