Avi - 2/6/2017

Avi arrived after breakfast and Grandpa said she'd already ate breakfast.  So at Lunch Time she ate everything; Pulled pork sandwich, tomato soup, and pickled beets.  Hope Grandpa Mark is ok with me telling this little story - it was so cute and sweet.  I expressed to him how wonderful I think Avilene is and he was totally in agreement!  He said something like this; "Yes she's pretty much perfect."  (He did kind of backtrack very slightly and said, "well maybe not perfect, but you know what I mean.") Hey I can totally relate; spoken from a Grandpa's heart!!  :)

These first two pictures were taken shortly after Avi arrived.  You obviously can't tell from the pictures, but she was laughing and giggling so much and being so silly on the mattress!  She was flopping forward, standing on her head, and running from one end of the mattress to the other end. Then sprinting from one end of the room to the other end.  What a riot!!  :)

We did a toy, book, and puzzle exchange this weekend and the kids were super busy all morning checking out everything.  We rarely do anything besides explore toys on the Monday after Toy Exchange.  I had the books for Story Time ready to go (Sophie had requested stories), but I was momentarily interrupted and the kids didn't even notice or want to continue.  And that is really unusual for Story Book Sophie!!  It's a rare day that she lets Story Time slip by!

Isn't this last picture adorable!?  Avilene and Hudson were playing one of their favorite games again. He was sitting on the chair and Avi would get behind the chair and then come running out - first on one side and then the other side.  Both of the kids were laughing hard - especially in anticipation of what was going to happen!!  Love the sound of children laughing!!  That's the absolute best!
