Eating lunch today--our Peanut Butter Girl! 

Our sweet Ava! 

Basque Portland Summer 2005! (camp t-shirts) The swirly thing is the official Basque symbol, called a "Laburu". I have a necklace with this on it and I am always afraid people will think it's a swastika...

"I hit my head!" 

"Ride with me, Momma!" (last week at Cook Park in Tigard) 

Getting into a water fight with Itziar in the bumper boats--they even let Jonah drive a boat all by himself later in the day!

Another first--in the batting cages at Bullwinkle's! 

Riding the go-carts with Daddy at Bullwinkle's yesterday! 

Jonah's first time at Mini Golf--playing with Jon and Itziar. 

"I gotta go big-girl potty!!!!" 

Well, we are done!! Potty training, that is! Talk about easy-peasy!! Ava-girl went from zero to telling us "I go big girl potty!" in just a day and a half. We even went shopping ALL day yesterday and she did SUPER. No more yuckie diapers--Hooray!! BTW--Happy 4th of July everyone! We are picking Itziar up at the airport in just a half-hour and then (if she's up for it) scooting off to a BBQ with another Basque Host Family and perhaps fireworks--although I don't think she'll last that long after an 11 hour plane ride and jet lag, too...
