JULY 1ST...CELEBRATING AVA'S BAPTISM AND HER FIRST CANADA DAY!

I had Ava baptized July 1st at a Church near the cottage in Chapeau, Quebec as most of my exteded family are there and I wanted them to be part of the celebration.



Ava all dressed and ready to leave for the church. The dress she's wearing and actually the shoes also were purchased in China. As soon as I saw the dress I knew I wante her to wear it for her baptism.


Mama and Ava, dressed and ready to go.



Couldn't stop at just one pic of my little peanut, so enjoy!

Ava changed into her Canada Day outfit(it was quite cool and windy the whole day...thank God the rain held off until the luncheon was over and everyone had left.

Ava in her new princess mobile...she can't reach the pedals so guess who will be pushing her around in it for the next three weeks?

Having fun with Shauna...her surrogate jie jie!
