Happy Birthday month Sweet Pea!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Busy times since we returned for Hawaii. September 19 we got to celebrate my friend Katie and her new husband Joe at their wedding. It was a beautiful day despite the crazy Seattle weather. Later that week, Avery and I checked out the Puyallup Fair with Leann. Avery got to meet and pet lots of farm animals, which was a big hit. She also got to sample her first elephant ear, corn dog and fair scone (scones are famous here, they are served at fairs all over, and everyone knows what they are. They're delicious!). The rides were also a big hit with Avery, though she wasn't technically quite tall enough to ride them (you have to be 36") a couple of rides let it slide. Last weekend, Avery and I ventured to the Hood Canal to the Pinneo's beach house. It was a great, relaxing get away that allowed Chris to get some work done on the house. With all of these fun events, Avery is still growing up before our eyes. She remembers everything, repeats everything and is now coming up with her own funny things to say to make us laugh. Last week, she was with Amy and Bennett and as they were driving by Starbucks, she told Amy, "mommy needs coffee"! For the record, we don't go to Starbucks every day. She can count to 10 on her own, knows the whole "ABC" song now, knows many colors and is learning shapes. Now we are getting ready for her 2nd birthday. Where does the time go?

Row, row, row your boat...
