Our Life with Ava & Xavier: Father's Day!!!

My first Father's Day could not have been more perfect! We went to Church, saw allot of old friends and made some new ones, thanks to Ava! We are normally a pretty quiet couple when it comes to meeting new folks, but with Ava we are thrust into the center of attention. I could not be happier with how everyone has received her or how open she is to new people. After church we went for a drive and did some geocaching around Middletown and Myersville (4/4). Caching requires a GPS and a keen eye for things that are hidden mostly in plain sight. But the adventure is that seeking caches takes you to some of the most interesting and out of the way places. We saw many homes and old barns that are characteristic of Frederick County. They gave us ideas for future projects.

Michelle bought me a great video game I have been eying for awhile and then she actually sat and watched while I played it for an hour!! That's a huge step for her!!! We spent some time in the backyard playing badminton the lazy way (the only spikes allowed were lime juice spiked with Vodka). There are no lines so we use mostly natural boundaries and 'naturally' we both had differing ideas as to what was in and what was out. Nevertheless we had some serious volleys that seemed to go on forever! Finally Mom wore me out, 2 sets to 1! Whew!!!!
