Avery's new sibling is a little girl. She'll likely arrive at the end of August and Avery can't wait to play with her. According to her, this new kid will come out walking and talking and should be named Carly or Shirley.. neither of which are in the actual running. Names I would go for are Hanna, Mollie, Indiana, and Bonanza Jellybean. Although, Avery has Casey's middle name and we're thinking this second girlie will take my middle name ;)
Avery turned three last week and amazes me all the time with her personality, appetite, and ability to draw letters really well. For her birthday she got a play kitchen, a Ford F150 Power Wheels, a Daisy BB gun, a doll house, lots of arts supplies, a doctor kit, and she had a Strawberry Shortcake birthday cake. Her party was at her Mimi and Papa's new house; she is happy they live up here now and can see them any time she wants.
would love to post to this again :(
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't give you a new post but I can still comment...Yes, Mimi and Papa are here full time now and there is nothing on earth that could make me happier. I'm enjoying catching up on everything that I have missed the last three years. Your third birthday was grand to say the least! You sure had a ball...just ask anyone who watched you and Jadyn riding your F150 for the first time...I laughed till I cried. You are so amazing to me and surprise me every day that I spend with you. I am so glad we are finally together as a family should be.
ReplyDeleteThe day that I left Florida I walked around our "Florida house" as you call it and started to get sentimental as the memories of your mommy and Uncle Jacob and Papa stirred. As I walked from room to room I relived so many memories and realized how much I loved the home itself and all the work that we put into it over the years. Then upon reaching the last bedroom it occurred to me how quiet it was...it was completely silent... no laughter, no music, no crying, talking, doors slamming, pots clanging or toys creating their noises...it was silent and then and there I realized that home isn't a house at all, it's where your family is.
I am where my family is now. I am home.
I love you Avery Lee
