January 2010
Avery is a very cautious girl. She doesn't like to try new things and isn't easily persuaded to do so. The last few times we went to the park she has gotten an adventurous bone in her that I have no idea where it came from. She started with climbing one of the rock walls that puts you up to a slide platform. She didn't take the stairs very uncharacteristic of her. Then she decided to go down one of the bigger slides. She is very comfortable with the little slide, but you couldn't even get her to slide down a big slide while holding her hand. All she wanted was you to catch her at the bottom. This might not sound like anything big, but it was huge for us. We have also been trying to get her to go down the cork screw slide but she would have nothing of it. Today after she saw Emmabelle go down by herself she wanted to give it a try. She even climbed the ladder to the slide which isn't a standard ladder, it curves up to the platform so you have to climb the curve. I was a little nervous about this one, but she didn't even hesitate. Very proud moment for me.
Dave & I
Dave and I have been married for four years now. We are currently taking a ballroom dance class at the college and are really enjoying that. Dave continues to work hard at work and is managing to keep us afloat. I try to work hard at keeping everything in order and taken care of. I am more successful at times than others. Dave is getting excited about his deer hunt in early November. I am currently taking piano lessons and slowly getting better. I also have taken up learning photography and hope to take a class at the college this summer. We are very happy and love living in Safford.
Avery
Avery the big three year old is so full of life it is hard to keep up sometimes. She loves to be in everyones business. Dave and I can hardly have a conversation without Avery's two cents. She is such a sponge soaking up all the information she can. She loves going to nursery and playing with all of her friends. She is a great big sister and does all she can to help take care of Emmabelle. She loves to be the big helper. She always brings so much joy into our home.
Emmabelle
Emmabelle now 1 1/2 is just a big monkey. She mimics everything she sees. If Avery does something Emmabelle follows if Avery makes a noise Emmabelle does the same thing. She loves music, being outside, and just doing her own thing. She likes to be a tease something I hope she grows out of. She is very active and brings us so much laughter and happiness.
