Nikki and Ava were in White Springs for the funeral of her foster mothers sister, Mary Martin. We kept Ava for her on Sunday while she attended. We met Nikki and Karen at Arby's and took Ava back to our church where we were having a fish fry. She ate then played on the playground.
Arriving to the house, she immediately saddled up Bug, what Nathaniel called him, and Bucky, and rode some. She made Jordon put his feet in the stirrups.
She claimed Zoe as her kitty. Zoe never warmed up, as is obvious from the photographs.
We chased Roger and Rosie all over until we finally caught Roger.
We got the bike out and rode down to block to see the real horses. This was not too wise as she wanted to ride them and was not too happy to leave.
She ate a peanut butter and jelly with some help from some of Nathaniels old friends.
Allison and her two sons, Carson and Pearce arrived and they decorated the tree.
It was too funny when Carson pulled her hair and she said, "Really?" in big girl fashion.
Carson happiest when messing around.
This was too funny as I caught the moment she let the blue bulb go for the floor.
Nikki called around 5:30 and the funeral was still going on. I told her I could drive Ava over and meet them at the cemetery. Pearce and I rode over and met them there. Arriving home, I saw where Ava left her glow maid in the car. I called and met them later on again at the Busy Bee at I-10.
I could barely contain myself as I told Nikki how much this meant to us, me. So many of Ava's mannerisms are like Nathaniels, from the way she hop along runs, things she says, Help me, help me...ect.
We continue to pray that Landon will come to his old self and again open lines of communication with us.
Thanks Nikki for letting us into your life and family.
