Avery is her Daddy's girl. She loves, loves waiting for him when she knows he will be home soon. On this day, it was rainy, a perfect opportunity to use her new umbrella while she waited ..
Why won't my camera focus on her? I mean, I'm sure in twenty years i'll look back fondly at the plant. aghhh....

I love just pulling up to the park, without saying a word. Usually between errands. Her little face lights right up
I love love her dimples in her elbow! So happy that they are still baby like and cute. Don't tell Lyla though, she will school you if you call her baby....

It was still bizarre to spend Christmas in Hawaii, our fourth. Crazy!!
