LOL...LOVE this pic! It looks like Clare totally pushed Avery! Really Avery was rolling forward and Clare was being wild...but it makes me giggle.


Clare in her new Tangled Dress from Stephanie and Jack! She loved it.

Lots to update here, just have been so busy (it's a vicious cycle, more to update=less time to do so). Avery is rolling over all the way and eating solids. Bananas have been a hit, carrots a miss. Avery is so different than Clare was as a baby! She is so much more likely to smile and laugh, but also has a quick temper! She isn't as great of a sleeper as Clare, but is a much better mover (rolled earlier, etc.). Clare is potty trained (just shy of college). She is becoming more independent every day and cracks us up with her sense of humor. She is so cute and excited for Santa this year!

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Avery's Baptism

I waited the entire time for Clare to "test" the water with a swim, but she was such a good girl!

Adorable picture:)

Avery's baptism was great! We feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family and group of friends support us. It means so much to us that Avery will be so loved!
