I know I am a loser blogger. I am disappointed myself when I see the same old posts here on the blog. I hope to do better.
We had a fun few weeks. Spring Break was just that, a nice little break from school with beautiful spring weather. This weekend has been nearly perfect weather. I am in love with Arizona in the spring. I am growing basil, cilantro, rosemary & thyme. And I planted flowers. We spent 12 hours at the dunes {that's enough for me} and it was actually really enjoyable. Mike's mission friend & his wife came with us and it was nice to spend some time with friends.
Kate & Arleigh came to town for a few days. LOved it. Arleigh & Avery played, Kate & I just yapped and made bread {yes, we are little red hens...we ground the wheat & made the dough & baked the bread...YUM} we went to the cutest park. We shopped, ate out a little too much {sorry, Kate} and we went to the botanical gardens which were really neat, esp the butterflies. However, I bent over to take a picture of the girls and got skewered by a cactus in the backside. yikes. I pulled 3 huge pokies {for lack of a better word} out and it was like needles. that'll teach me. yowza. It was a lot of fun because the girls are just at the same stage, doing the same things, etc. Arleigh is a sweet pea. We were sad to see them go. Come back ANYTIME!
I have to say that Avery is a crack up right now. Mike says she is "so smart". And I agree. She is mimicking. And she is wise, I think. She gets what is going on around her, it's weird. She teases and plays. She is standing, wobbling, crawling up the stairs. saying words, signing a few, sleeping through the night {praise the heavens} and waving, blowing kisses, dancing {shaking her head side to side}. I just love her like crazy. She has her daddy wrapped too. She loves to be outside, loves the swings at the park {arleigh & avery went swinging together, loved it!} Alright, enough of my swooning, just wanted to document the sweetness of our ten month old.
lots of love from beautiful Arizona.
