Zoo

Recently we took Avery to the zoo with Aaron, Brenna, Ella, Every and Stephen and I. Avery rode a horse and this small area. The girls took turns riding in the wagon or two riding and one standing. Ella wanted to push Everly out several times. We had so much fun!

Married

So, Stephen and I got married in the Cayman Islands over Thanksgiving. It was such a wonderful time, but we missed Avery like crazy. When we got home and we let her watch the video, she was bored to tears. How funny.

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.
