I appreciate weekends so much more during the school year! I always look forward to them and they go by too fast.
I had a particularly good weekend not only because it was the first one of the school year, but also because my sister, brother-in-law, and niece came to Abilene. My niece, Ava, is 11 months old now, and is so funny! She likes to play peek-a-boo, but can't quite figure out how to get her hands over her eyes, so she puts them over her ears and thinks she's hiding. While Summer and Chad were out on Sunday afternoon, I was at my parents' house helping watch Ava. We were trying to keep her awake until they came home so she would nap in the car on their way home. She was sitting in my lap and her eyes were getting heavy, but when I would sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" she'd keep trying to do the hand motions even though she was ready to fall asleep. What a cute little girl!
