Happy May!

Lots of fun was had by all while our family was here and lots of work got done. There's still a lot to do, but we are so thankful that dad, Aunt Brenda and Ann took time to come visit us and work so hard on our house with us. While they were here, we got tile floors laid in the kitchen and bath, cabinets in the kitchen and bath and new doors hung. We are now in the process of painting. Not our favorite thing to do, but it's getting done. Next on the agenda is countertops and refinishing the floors. I will try to post pics as things progress. When not working on the house we try to keep Avery busy. We went to the zoo and took a ferry ride to the Olympic mountains while papa was here. We got the seat on my bike so Avery and I can do some bike riding together, and she LOVES it! We have taken many rides to the "paygound" to play in the sand. We finally broke down and bought her lots of fun new sand toys to play with. It's funny to watch, because she likes to play in the sand, but doesn't like to get dirty, so if she's sitting she needs help up, because she won't put her hands down in the sand. And, the rock obsession continues. We can't go anywhere without her stopping to pick up as many rocks as she can fit in her tiny little hands. Tiny is Avery's word of the week, btw. She is starting to learn her colors now. She knows mommy's car is black and daddy's truck is silver. She can also almost spell her name. She was writing the other day and we heard her saying A-V-Y (imagine the y drawn out and high pitched). We're trying to get the e-r in there. OK, enjoy the pics!
