Snow for Days

The snow came, and stayed and fell some more.  We had a couple of at home snow days for Avery to play and explore and she really did enjoy it!!  It is a rarity that it snows "in the city" around here, and when it does, there is no reason to venture out because people don't know how to drive and the city is not really planned for snow for days.

Walking through the snow!

Playing at the park with Hailey

When you are a kid snow is pure joy!

Lil Kickers Season Begins

Avery's second season of Lil Kickers Started this weekend!  She was so excited to wear hear new soccer clothes and go to something every week with her friends Jackson and Mason!  The last time she did Lil Kickers was the summer of 2009 when she was two, that was an outdoor class and I think all the parents agreed, way too distracting at that age!  So we are hoping this will provide a bit more focus and she has fun!

Avery starts out happy and excited!

Avery started to warm up after a bit and participated in class most of the second half.  We are hoping that next week she is a bit more used to things and has a wonderful time running around with all the other kids and that soccer ball! 

She finally warmed up and started to participate when there was more activity going on!

Team cheer at the end!

Three musketeers, Jackson, Mason and Avery.  We're missing Tyler today and can't wait until he comes to play next week too!

Sophia's Pool Party!

Sophia had the perfect summer party - a pool party! As much as Avery loves the pool, we thought she'd jump right in, but she decided she had to check out these new surroundings first!

Finally Avery got acclimated to her surrounds. She enjoyed the little slide for a while with daddy catching her. Then, she attemped climbing up the big slide a couple of times without going down. Finally, with about five minutes until the end of the party, she decided to venture down with daddy! The smile below says it all, pure joy! This girl really is a little fish!

Take a listen to the video below, she really does have a great time and proceeds to get about three more runs in!

Thank you Sophia for having a super fun party, exactly what summer should be all about!
