Ava got a lot of painting done while we were in Madison. I don’t know if any of it is ready for the Met yet, but she sure seemed to have a lot of fun splashing color around.

We did end up leaving Madison on Saturday, at Rachel’s gentle prodding. The drive home was much nicer than the drive to Madison through snow last Wednesday afternoon. And we experienced a first. We stopped for gas in Dubuque, and Ava slept through the stop. Usually she’ll snap awake as soon as we start slowing down for a light, but she snoozed right through the pumping and everything. Which was good, because she had a busy weekend.
