My Amazing Family

My husband & daughter never cease to amaze me. Here's a couple of Edward & Ava stories that just made me chuckle...

Edward:

We've had our new washer & dryer for well over a year now. They are electronic so to turn on the washer you hit the big start button, then it all lights up, you put in your desired settings, then you press the big start button again. Very simple. Even Edward's dad could operate them.

Not Edward. At least not when he's apparently NEVER done laundry in them.

The other night he decided to help me out by washing a load of towels. Just before going to bed I figured I should switch them to the dryer. Except that the towels were still dry, just sitting there in the washing machine. He apparently pressed the start button once, saw it all light up & figured it would just start from there.

I'm more fascinated by the fact that it's been well over a year since my husband has had to do even one load of laundry. Just amazing!

Ava:

The other morning I was enjoying our new living room furniture by vegging on the sofa watching tv. Edward was reading the newspaper in the dining room. I thought Ava was in there with him. He thought Ava was in the living room with me. (Yes, we're great parents). I could hear her babbling & playing for awhile. But then it got quiet. When it gets quiet, she's up to no good. I shouted out to Edward, "What is Ava up to in there?" Before he could answer, his cell phone rang. He picked it up & said "Why are you calling me?" Since my cell was upstairs & I was downstairs, I said "I'm not calling you."

At that moment we both realized that somehow our amazing little child had gotten past the baby gate on the stairs, gone upstairs, found my cell phone & figured out how to call her daddy. Amazing.
