Fun Stuff...

Be sure to see the pics in the web album too...

Well, we sure have been busy this month. The weekend after we went camping in Grand Lake Brandon's uncle came in to town and invited us to a BBQ at a friends home. We headed down to monument and had a fun time visiting and making some new friends. Avelyn, of course, was just part of the gaggle of kids running around and enjoyed herself immensely until about 10pm when we headed home. The next day we were all exhausted and spent the day lounging around.

Avi and I created her bears from the loveable factory that Auntie Michelle had given her. She had a good time and really understood the concept of what we were doing. There's one picture that makes her look so grown up I can hardly stand it! The bears are named Nemo, Shark, and Saturday. All her choices! :)

We had our ultrasound on the 23rd. Everything looked healthy and happy! The baby was moving all around but the sonographer was able to find and measure everything she wanted to. We know what we're having but are keeping it a secret for about another week! Avi knows and couldn't be more excited. My doctors office is sending us a CD with the US pictures on it so those will be uloaded to a web album as soon as we get the disc.

This weekend has been a fun one. Friday Avi and I went up to the pool and and Amanda was there with Alexia and Matthew so we spent the late morning/early afternoon playing in the water. Avi was finally willing to wear her floaties in the deep end (Matthew had his on) and was jumping off the edge like a fish. Saturday a whole gang of us went up to the pool around 10:30 and spent about 2 hours there. It was a big group of us and we took up a lot of the deep end. When Avi was in the water this time she was all over the place and having so much fun. She was even trusting her floaties and swimming away and back and just hanging out floating next to everyone.

I had to work yesterday and Brandon and Avelyn spent the day playing in all of the neighbors yards and running in the sprinklers. That evening we had an impromptu BBQ and the kids just played all over the place while the rest of us visited and chatted.

We're so grateful we live in this block!
