Latest Videos from Ava
Ava and her comb over :)
Ava with our friends the Rue's (recently married in June)Ava singing...you have to turn up the volume :)
Trying to get Ava to count ...Too video shy...Silly girl!
(She really can count- but she is too video egocentric!)
When you have to go...you have to go!
July Update on Garris Fam...Lots to tell :)
Hello Everyone,
So, I don't even know where to really begin since there has been so much going on in the past few months, that I am trying to pinpoint things and not miss the important stuff of which to speak of...So let's start with the easy stuff...:) I am officially 8 months pregnant now, and getting bigger daily...I am tired of the "She looks huge", the "Are you having twins?", the "Any day now huh?", the looks, the stares, the general whispers behind my back...Of course I am getting pretty big, which doesn't help the ole self esteem. BUT, the good news is that this little girl is a mover and a shaker, and overall my health is good. I go in on Monday 7/20/09 to see if there is any dilation, although I am pretty confident that at 35 weeks there is still no movement there. We are praying that she comes early as it would be nice to not have my Mom take off of work. Her due date is August 24th, and my Mom's start for her job: you guessed it, August 24th....SO we are asking everyone to join us in prayer to have her come early. We shall see what happens.
Corey was officially licensed as a Pastor for the Vineyard on July 11th & 12th. It was a whirlwind of a weekend, and unfortunately this wife forgot the ole camera...so there are no pictures of the event. :( Our good friends Paul and Kelly Mazak threw him a party to celebrate...it was really a blessing from the Lord, and I was so proud of Corey. Things for the Sawmill Campus site have been moving along nicely...Lots to do, lots to pray for, and lots to be excited about. We are trucking along finding new hands to help serve, which has been amazing and exhausting for those on the core team to help recruit. We are still in need of people to work for Children's Ministry, but we are moving in the right direction. The set launch date is September 13th...
Our neighborhood is amazing, and we love where we live. A couple of the kids from the neighborhood have really taken a liking to Corey...a 10 year old boy named Mark comes around daily just to see if they can "talk"...Too funny! Our good friend Monica has been busy decorating, and is almost finished. We will give a nice video tour as soon as we can. :)
Ava is continuing to amaze us...make us laugh, and of course has gotten a little more...shall we say...independent (a.k.a cop an attitude at times). Her favorite song is, "God Bless America." She can sing it over and over and over. She even knows what word comes next in the song when you give her prompts. Some of her favorite things include, blowing bubbles, riding in her car, being outside playing, being inside playing in her kitchen, working on puzzles, playing with stickers, coloring pictures with Mommy on the deck, going out anywhere...She has started talking more in sentences, and consitently says "I love you..." Although she will say "I love you too Mommy/Daddy" even when we don't say it to her first...It cracks us up. We have a little video of her trying to sing, but she gets to disctracted...she wants to see and hear herself right away...(A little egocentric, but cute nevertheless). Enjoy the latest...
Love,
Cyndia for Corey, Ava, and Baby Girl #2
