Dave has informed me that this is supposed to be a “Dad’s” blog, but I think since I spend my days with Ava that I should also be able to share info with all of you. Of course, that is about to change a bit this week when I head back to work. Maybe this is a little late start…but those of you who know me, know that I am a little techno-challanged. So, I finally got Dave to show me how to post here, and I intend to do it more often. Ava is changing so fast it is amazing! I think if we had time lapse photography we could watch her grow in real time. Of course, I won’t suggest that to Dave because he would probably figure out a way to rig that up, and no one needs THAT many baby photos. I am very nervous about going back to work. I think it is going to be much harder on me than Ava. We couldn’t be luckier because she will be staying with a lovely friend of ours during the day (Kim) four days a week. Kim already has one little boy, so she is a professional baby-whisperer/guru already. I am so thankful that Ava will be able to spend her days with someone we know and trust, who will nurture her and help her grow. I will be home with her one day a week, and Dave will pick up the weekend day. It is the best schedule we could manage for now, and I think it will work out well. Of course, she will have two weeks with her Grandma and Grandpa Sasser before she starts with Kim. I think they will have fun together! Dave will be taking some time off work to help out as well, so there should be plenty of baby back-up when a crisis arises!
