The stormy weather we’ve been having has been knocking down lots of branches from our trees.  Ava doesn’t like to play with toys outside, but she LOVES the pears and sticks scattered around the yard.  She was beside herself when she came across this monster find.

Ava used to be quite aloof, and would immediately wander away from us when let outside.  Now, after many months, Ava likes to stick nearby when we’re all outside relaxing.
