This pictures really are amazing. We just started so we don;t really have it all figured out, just yet. But so far, I love it.

Happy Birthday
Billy is pretty easy to please...But I wanted to do something special for him this year. I comissioned an artist to do a charcoal sketch of him and the kids. And he loved it. It's about 16x20...The picture makes it seem so small.

Happy Days
So we finally got Avery back to the ENT doctor, who confirmed Avery's ears are infected (really?) and prescribed more ear drops...these are stronger apparently. Anyway, she is less than thrilled when she sees me coming toward her with that little white bottle. She had to have her ears evacuated at the clinic, which is to say she was completely traumatized and violated with a long ear suctioning vacuum thing that was loud and by the length and depth at which the doctor plunged it into her ear, EXTREMELY painful. I was nauseous. I felt so bad for her.
But as you can tell from the pics, she never lets things like this get her down. She is so much like her brother in that aspect. Always smiling and laughing.
I'm just saying....
And did I mention she is bilingual?
I am not sure why they call water "agua" at her daycare. But they do, and now, so does Avery. For those that know us, know that it is a weekly occurrence for Billy to be mistaken as hispanic. Puerto Rican, Mexican, Spanish, Italian, pretty much everything except Samoan...even Russian once! So he was less than thrilled to learn that one of Avery's first words was spanish. I think it is cute. I am glad we finally figured out what she was asking for. I just happened to be in her classroom and the teachers asked "Who wants agua?"
And there goes Avery screaming "Agua, Agua, Agua!" and pointing to her cup.
I know I am biased, but I'm just sayin'...15 months old?!
Lookout Harvard.
