- “I saw a shadow and I was like, hmmm, I think that’s my Daddy’s”
- Conversation we had at the dinner table (P.S. “Goon” is Ava’s imaginary friend): Me: “Sometimes you pretend to be Goon’s daddy don’t you?” Ava: “Yes. I rescue him.” Me: “You rescue him? Is that what Daddy’s do?” Ava: “Of course!”
- (conversation in the car at night) Ava: “What am I doing?” Me: “I can’t see what you’re doing sweetie, it’s too dark. Can you just tell me?” Ava: “I’m just picking my nose.”

Beautiful Things 
Thank you for posting these Jess!! They make my day!!
Your children are adorable. I love when you post about them. I was very encouraged by your cardboard testimony in the last post, thank you for having the spiritual courage to stand up for the Lord when you feel like throwing yourself down and weeping. Still praying…
She is so precious. I love her little mind. My girls want to come over sometime and play in the snow with your two. Or you could come over here. 🙂
Avaisms ALWAYS make me smile! Thanks for sharing them with us, yet again! God bless you guys. Hope your Christmas is beautiful because of Jesus! Love & Prayers, Tabitha
