Avery's First Easter Egg Hunt

Avery with her friend Ryan

Avery was so excited to run around and be outside that she ended up only getting 4 eggs.  The other kids her age were picking up the eggs quickly and eating the candy inside, but because she doesn't get candy she opened the eggs and then just carried the candy around.

Mommy had to pull the eggs out of the bushes so she could get them because otherwise she wasn't going to go to that much trouble she would have been just as happy to run around.  Maybe next year she will be more excited about the "hunt"

A Couple of Moments

We were having dinner at Grammy and Grandpa's house and Avery wanted out of her seat so she could see Grammy so she sat on her lap and the proceeded to eat her Asparagus then went on to Grandpa and did the same and then to Mommy.  Who knew she liked that?!!

Avery has been sick on and off for well over a month and this day she had a fever and Daddy was trying to make her feel better.  She wanted him to unload all of the stuffed animals and all of the blankets that sit in baskets on her shelves.  

Here she is holding her medicine and directing Daddy

Avery's Mexico Shirt

On our cruise we bought Avery this shirt but this is the first day she could wear it and I still have to use a ribbon in the back.  She looked so cute that I had to take pictures.  She was sad at first but she got happier.

She loves to watch the movie Ratatouille so we watch little segments here and there.

This is the "I'm tire" pose.  She sucks two fingers on her left hand and with her right brings up her blanket to rub under her nose, it is too cute

Abby's First Bread

This is my first bread!!! Mom found the recipe for me and it turned out pretty well.  Every week I make two loaves and I am getting much better but there is still room for improvement. I've also been making recipes out of my new cookbook "Deceptively Delicious."  In each recipe there are vegetable purees... so I have been steaming and pureeing everything.  We had beet pancake for dinner the other night.  Brian said they were good but he couldn't get past the fact that they were pink and had "beets" in them.  Avery liked them so we will be having those again.
