Christmas fun

Avery loved Christmas. Opening presents was great fun this year. Her sled was a big hit. What fun to sit in a sled and have mom and dad pulll me around for hours.

Halloween

We went to Crossroads Village in Flint with Grandma and Grandpa Shepherd and got lots of candy and then went on a train ride at which point I decided I was exhausted and tried to sleep in Grandma's arms.

Tigers win to tie for post season play

Mom and Dad went to Comerica Park on Friday night and left me home with Grandma and Grandpa. Sunday afternoon they took me to the last regular season game and we won. We are tied with Minnesota for the chance to play post-season. Their will be a tiebreaker on Tuesday. Dad is excited. I ran around the handicapped area for 5 innings clapping whenever I saw others clap and dancing to all of the great music and flirting with everyone who would wave at me. Great time!

The Apple Orchard

Avery picked an apple off of the tree at this apple farm and literally just started knawing. Thirty minutes later she had eaten half an apple and was done. Then she downed a glass of apple cider! She loved the apple orchard.

A week at the Lake

Mom could not find where she packed her camera for the first 6 days so all of the pictures we have are from the same day.

Word Explosion

In the last few weeks Avery has had a word explosion...new words everyday.

Here Shadow

Every morning the very first thing that Avery wants to do is to find Shadow and let him outside and go play with him. She loves to pet Shadow and she is finally getting really good at being gentle.
