Viestenz Wedding in Oregon

We had a fantastic time in Portland for Kris and Cheryl's wedding. We had time to explore the city, go to the zoo, and head over to the children's museum. Ava really enjoyed it!

Is this bad?

Ava's Birthday July, 16 2010

Ava got her first bad cold for her first birthday. She had a fever for 3 days and an upper respiratory infection which eventually caused her first ear infection the day after her birthday. We still made it to the Olive Garden for her birthday dinner where she enjoyed ice cream for the first time.

Ava's Hippo Pool

These were taken when Ava was still only 11 months old. She is a big fan of the water, whether she is in a bath, in her hippo pool, on the boat, or at the beach.
