Last week Tally took Avery to the pool to swim. They had a blast! Tally is so savy with the computer and all the tools that go along with it! She recorded Avery swimming and singing and talking. Click on the link to see our little fish!
Thanks Tally! I also really appreciate your help with the new blog background!

Ta Da...I think I have a new hobby!

Today my friend Carrie Beth came over at 9:30. She brought her two girls Handley and Harper. About 5 months ago we went fabric shopping and I bought some fabric to make a shower curtain. It has taken me all this time to get motivated and start my first project. Carrie Beth was kind enough and patient enough to walk me through each step of the process. We worked until about 5:30 and the shower curtain is finished. It looks great! I am so pleased and eager to start on another project! Who knew sewing could be this much fun! Thanks Carrie Beth!!!!
Kids say the darndest things!

Avery's vocabulary seems to be expanding daily! Trevor and I find ourselves constantly laughing at her new phrases and ideas. Two of her most favorite questions lately are: "what's that?" and "why?" After the fifth "why?" I stop answering because she is never satisfied. I am hoping this curiosity will benefit her at school. She is also talking in sentences and stringing lots of words together. Yesterday afternoon she told Trevor, "Avery needs a binkie Daddy. Go get it now." I promise she does have manners, she just forgot them that time.

Friendship, ME

The Bonny Eagle Gang hits Pine Point

On our first full day of vacation, we packed up and headed to Pine Point. The morning was a little overcast but as the day wore on things brightened up. It was a lovely day. Trevor's friend Gretchen rented a great house at the beach for the entire month of July. The "old gang" plus families were all able to gather there and spent the day catching up. We hung out at the house, hit the beach, and just enjoyed seeing where everyone's lives have taken them.
I was finally able to meet Gretchen and her son Alex from San Fransisco. Stephanie and her two girls were there from California as well. Avery loved playing with the girls (Skyler and Quinn). The Collins family made it from Bridgton, ME. It was great to meet Katie, what a cutie. Trevor was able to get her to take her afternoon nap :) Scott was able to hang out for the day and he is always fun! Right before we had to leave the Herbert's stopped by. Great to see them as always!

Weekday Play!




Three days until we get to head up North! We are really looking forward to heading to Maine. Keep your fingers crossed we get some good weather. It will be tons of fun visiting with Trevor's parents and seeing some friends.

God Bless America!

It has been a great three day weekend at the Atkinson house. Lots of pool time and playtime. Trevor and I even managed to sneak in a movie Saturday night. Tricia, Kyle, and Lucy all came over to watch Avery and we got to go see the Hangover (very funny).
Saturday, we went to the Parro's for a delicious cookout. Greg used his new smoker and made some yummy pork that went along with Melissa's mac n cheese. The Mayers brought some fireworks and Avery tried them out. She enjoyed her first experience with the fire! She just loved the sparklers!





Happy Fourth of July!
