Thanksgiving and etc.

Ava finally figured out how to walk and push the poppy ball thing at the same time.


The whole Hodge side of the family together for Thanksgiving dinner.


Us at the Hodge house over Thanksgiving. Ava loves "playing" the piano :)


Happy Ava rolling on the floor.


Nothing much new is going on around here. Perry is busy studying for finals and writing papers. We have been busy with the usual Christmas season stuff. I am thinking about starting to train for another marathon (4/10/09 in Lancaster). (i.e. this would actually be the end of week 1 of training!) We'll see how that goes.

A new cute thing that Ava has been doing lately is saying "hug" and hugging us, stuffed animals, the dog, etc. It's really adorable! And she says it when she's scared and needs comforting, too. She is really obsessed with Winnie the Pooh now, and asks all the time to watch Pooh on tv (we have videos) - this is getting to be a problem because she really likes it, but I don't want her to watch much tv! I didn't think this day would come so soon...... I just need to continue to be strict about limiting tv even though she asks for it. She doesn't watch it daily, and on the days that she does watch it, it's for about 30 mins or so.
