Mt. Evans

J-P's business school friend from Kazakhstan came to visit us this weekend. His name is Sasha. He is a scientist(physicist), who did the international MBA program at Duke. He brought us some fantastic gifts, including some matryoshka dolls that Ava loves. Ava did not, on the other hand, love Sasha. She wouldn't look at him or talk to him the entire time. She is super shy and doesn't really like any men other than her daddy and her grandpa. It was pretty funny. They went to climb Mt. Evans on Saturday (14,265 ft), and when we were looking at the pictures we pointed to J-P and asked her who it was. "That's daddy!!!" When we pointed to Sasha and asked her who it was, she said "Ummm, that's nothing!!!" She wouldn't acknowledge him until he walked out the door today to go home. She said "thank you for the baby dolls!!!", and finally smiled.
