Baby has a new grin.

Ava fell and chipped her tooth in February and we finally got it fixed last week. She had to be put under for the procedure but she did amazing.

She was wheeled back to the operating room in a stylish red wagon and the nurses just loved her.

After she woke up, she got pretty sick and spent the day groggy. But, after a few hours she bounced back to being her normal stubborn and crazy self.

I'm so happy it's over and even more happy with the results.

Back in the groove.

The big kids are back to school after a busy summer off.

I will admit, it's nice to be back on a schedule.  I picked up a part time job for the months they had off (on top of my photography business) so that was starting to wear on me.  It's been kind of refreshing being home again and not having somewhere else to be every other morning.

This morning has been productive. While Ava watched one episode of her favorite show, I was able to start the laundry, prep dinner for tonight, load the dishwasher and make beds. The plan is to get caught up on edits, when (and if) she naps later today. She's been fighting me lately, on that. Apparently,  in her opinion, she doesn't need to nap anymore. Most days result in a fit-fest for her and a pounding headache for me. That's something that needs to be worked on.

But, right now she's snuggled up next to me, being good and being cute. So, I will enjoy these brief moments of peace while they last.
