| They told me that time would go by faster with kids, and they were right! We've had a great busy year and can hardly believe it's December. Aunt Whitney is married, Gibson is one, and Christmas is right around the corner. We're looking forward to spending time with family for the holidays and setting a New Year's Goal to update more! |

| I keep saying I'm going to do better about updating...maybe one day when I have some "free time"! We are good here- lots of new photos from our snow day and more. We've celebrated Riley's first birthday- a huge praise! Gibson is becoming very social and we can't get enough of his sweet little grin. Avery is as fun as ever and a really sweet big sister. We are SO ready for some warm weather so we can stay well and play outside with our friends whenever we want. |

| Things are going good here-settling in back at home after 10 days of travel for the holidays. Gibson is very smiley and doing great taking naps in his crib. Avery is too fun right now and I'm making a good effort to write down things she's saying. Check out new photos. |

Things are going pretty well here adjusting to 2 kids. Avery really loves Gibson, though she gives Matt and I a tough time right now. Gibson weighed 11lb. 10oz. at his 1 month check-up- our big boy!! He fights sleep and is fussy some evenings but is way more laid back than our first baby :) . We've uploaded some new pictures here. |

No news from babyland yet....Kristen and I both have appointments in the morning so hopefully we'll have news tomorrow. Just about everything I do gives me contractions but still no baby! Every day Avery says, "Today we go to the hospital...and get baby brother!" with much enthusiasm. And every day I tell her that he's not ready to come out yet.... |

| We finally got on board and made the trip to Sky Top Apple Orchard this year. We had a great time- it was really beautiful there, picking apples was a lot of fun for Avery and us, she played on the playground, and we even got to visit the portajohns twice (I love potty training). All she could talk about when we left was her doughnut, though! |

We had our last day at the pool yesterday, so summer is officially over for us! Now it's looking ahead as we have 4 weeks until Baby Boy is due! We just took a playgroup adventure to the mountains with lots of fun pictures here. Potty training is in progress and going well. Avery is pretty in to her baby brother right now, let's hope it lasts until he gets here. |

| The summer is flying by with lots of traveling and fun stuff to do. We just got back from the lake for July 4th weekend- see picts here. Avery is lots of fun right now- she said to me today to sit down on the floor. When I did it- she responded with a smile, "Good job obeying". She keeps us laughing and right now talks about the baby alot- if I'm in the water, "baby swimming". If I spill food on my shirt, "baby eating". Although 2 isn't short of it's meltdowns, she is such a joy. |

| We went strawberry pickin' with friends today and had a blast. Lots of pictures here. My only regret is that I didn't take a picture of the first place I led us to with a wooden sign about the hail storm and a voice message just to leave your money in the box by the shed. Needless to say we moved on and had plenty to pick and more importantly a good photo op. Avery was really into it (minus the last 10 minutes where she convinced Marissa to carry her) and I had to remind her several times to put the stawberries in the basket and not eat them! |
