First Snow

















Went to Tahoe this weekend. What a blast...Avery got to get out in the snow for the first time...we got to stay in an amazing house...went sledding...I got to drive with chains on...And we all survived.

We hope this is the first of many more trips up the mountain....

Randomness

So as many have guessed, I have not been faithful to my blogger account.

Facebook is so much easier. I can't believe I waited so long to go to facebook.

Anyway, Avery's terrible twos are definitely upon us. I spoke with her teacher this morning re: an incident over the weekend at Big 5 Sports that went something like this:

Me: "Where's Avery?"

Billy: "I thought she was with you!"

Me: [expletive]* "AVERY! AVERY!"

I am frantic now, running through the store when I hear:

Avery: [laughing] "Momma...Momma...Find me"

Me: "Avery...Please don't run off from Momma and Daddy. Something could happen to you. You could get lost and that would make me very sad."

Avery: "STOP HITTING ME!!!"

What the???

According to her teachers, it is great that she is using her words.

NOT.

Another recent favorite:

Avery:[whining] "LEAVE. ME. AH-LONE!" This is my favorite at 630am when we are late and she doesn't want to get out of bed.

So much angst. So moody. And she's barely 2.

Give me strength.
