Avi - 8/31/2017

Avilene ate waffle and fruit salad for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef, whole wheat elbow noodles, carrots, and applesauce.  Hey Andy, did you notice the jogger when you came around the corner to wave at the kids?  That's what Ave was focused on!  She was pointing and said, "Guy running, guy running."  Yes indeed, now wave at your Dad!  :)

Although just about everyone knows this, I still want to mention that today is Reid's last day.  So going forward I'll have 4 kids plus the 2 after school kids until the middle of November and then a new baby will start.  We've had a long relationship with Reid's family - 3 boys and the oldest is now in the 7th grade.  We're thankful they live just around the corner so we see them frequently!!  I'm still gonna miss having Reid here and his awesome sense of humor.  And Avilene will not be able to tease Reid by sitting in "his" chair!!

Here are some pictures from this morning's activities.  Hudson was looking at the pictures in this toy and he was wanting to show Avi as well.  He said, "See butterfly Avi, see butterfly."  Of course he holding it upside down, but she was trying to cooperate.  In the 2nd picture Avi was just relaxing and I don't see this very often.  By the time I got the camera she was getting up, but she willingly tried to recreate the scene for me - accompanied by a beautiful smile.  :)  In the last picture she was just talking on the phone to someone.  I'm sure it was Mommy.  :)  We also played outside and Avilene was asking for "bubbles, bubbles, bubbles" so we played with the bubbles.
