Snow, snow but very wet snow!

Today as we were leaving to go to the grocery store Avery decided that she wanted to play in the snow.. We even tried out the sled again. She was really into it this time and kept telling me "no" when I asked her if she was ready to go to the store. "NO" is actually a new word that just popped up a couple of weeks ago and Avery LOVES to use her new word. Geoff and I think it is pretty cute at this point but I am sure that won't last for long:)





(and just so you know, Avery did wear gloves just not in this picture:)) And she actually kept them on this time!!


Eggs with Daddy!!

On weekends when daddy is home, we like to make eggs together. It is our special time on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Daddy has taught me how to crack the eggs and I LOVE it!! I look forward to it and daddy is a good teacher. Here are a few pictures from this past weekend!! I think my two favorite parts is cracking the egg and then getting to eat them. Yum, Yum. I like eggs just about as much as daddy and way more than mommy!

We are excited to announce....

Avery is going to be a big sister this summer!!! I am 13 weeks pregnant and all is well so far! We got to hear the baby's heartbeat this morning and all sounded perfect. We are very excited to have been blessed with another summer baby and one due just 19 days before Avery turns 2. Yes, mommy is going to have her HANDS FULL and Avery will have a huge adjustment to make but we feel like we are giving her the best gift ever.....a brother or sister:)

I think these pictures speak for themselves!!! Avery LOVES Bathtime!

Nature Trail with mommy and daddy!

This morning mommy had the idea that we should get out of the house and go to the River Trails Nature Center. We had never been before so we didn't know what to expect but it was a fun morning. I saw lots of animals and then I got to play.

Avery takes on Gymnastics class!!

Today I had my first gymnastics class with mommy. I had such a great time running around, climbing and even working on my jumps. At first I wasn't sure about this as you can see in the first picture.. Mommy had just told me that we were going to go to class but I was pretty content playing with all my new toys from Xmas.

Once I got there I wanted to hold mommy's hand for the first 20 minutes or so but then I warmed up and I was all over the place exploring.
