A few moments with Ava

Coloring Shrinky Dinks (a Christmas present) at the table...
Mom: What color do you want me to color this flower for you, Ava?
Ava: All my favorite colors. You know: pink, purple, blue.
Mom: What about orange?
Ava: Oh yes, orange can be such a comfort.
Mom (laughing HARD): A comfort, huh? What else can be a comfort?
Ava: Cats. Cats can be such a comfort.

A few weeks ago Tonya and I were driving through the Winter Wonderland (basically a bunch of lights and light-up toys on display at PIR) with our girls, and Ava kept seeing the lights reflected in the windows of the car:
Ava: Look, Jolie, it's the Light of the Lord!!

Ava is so funny and "in her own head". Auntie H loves those qualities about her.
