Family Pictures

This past Sunday, we went and had pictures made at the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth and then we to the Gaylord to look at the lights, walk through the ICE show and had some hot cocoa.

Supergirl!

We had such a good halloween! We carved a pumpkin and went tricking or treating around our neighboor and across the street in Avery's friend's neighborhood. She was the cutest little Supergirl. We rolled her hair in rollers and put a little bit of make up on. When we got home, we sat out front in lawn chairs and passed out candy to other little kids. Avery did a great job and I was very proud of her.

Ugh! Seriously?

Today I walked Avery to school (which has been our daily routine) and I wanted a hug and a kiss. She said I could have a hug, but no kiss. I asked her again for a kiss. She said ok and stuck out her forehead. I asked for another and she said "Ugh! Seriously?!?

Jack and Jill

Avery had her first assignment at Kindergarten. She had to recite a nursery rhyme in front of the class, dress up and bring a prop. She chose Jack and Jill and she brought a pail. She memorized it very quickly and did a great job.

Sophie

Today, Stephen and I surprised Avery by saying we were running an errand and going into these people's house and we let her pick out a King Charles Spaniel. We named her Sophie and Avery was so excited. I think Avery will do fantastic with her. Sophie seems to be settling right in. It felt kinda sad to take her away from her 5 sisters and parents, but we will be a good home for her.

First day of Kindergarten

Avery did wonderful on her first day of Kindergarten. I was so proud of her. She goes to Donald Elementary and her teacher is Mrs. Grimes. I walked her to school since we live right around the corner and walked home. She didn't show much hesitation and was excited to start Kindergarten. When she got to class, I just gave her a brief hug, kiss and a "Have a Great Day". I was surprised that I did not cry. She did decide that she didn't want to hold my hand in the school. :(

Avery had to get on the bus to a new after school program, but she did great with that and when I went to pick her up, the daycare told me that she was standing outside smiling waiting on the bus. I was so proud.

Our New House

Avery has such a cute bedroom in our new house and a playroom and about 10 little babies that she wants Stephen and I to kiss and hug and tuck in each night.

There is Froggie, Beary, Angelina, Fluffy, Softy, Ms. Plewdle, Bear Bear and Mr. Stripes.

Sometimes we play Wii at night and she has so much fun.
