Other weekend happenings



The end of Spring beginning of Summer is a splendidly busy time. This past weekend Avery finished her second soccer season. I am shocked at how much better the entire team is now. I really enjoyed practices and games as I am now able to cheer. It is so exciting to see them understand the game and play with their teammates.





This last game was really special because Avery had an audience. Ammy and Bampa came to cheer her on. After the game we went to lunch and stopped for ice cream. We were all happily worn out!






But after naps Uncle Kyle and Aunt Tricia came by for a visit. We had fun watching the Red Sox and catching up. Uncle Kyle also helped us get our Ipad going and we are thrilled to be able to get familiar with it!




Two other noteworthy events:

Dylan went potty on the big boy toilet twice on Friday! I know it is not time to potty train but his interest (or maybe that of the reward) and self control were amazing. Way to go big boy!

Sunday Avery had a Grampa date. Bampa took Avery fishing at the lake Sunday afternoon. Although they didn't catch any fish they still had a blast picnicking on the pier, hiking, playing with the worms, ans spying fish in the water. She is still talking about her very special Grampa time!


One more thing....This is a picture of Avery, Ammy, Bampa, and one of her best friends Leighton. Avery was so excited for them to meet she insisted they all get their picture taken together. So sweet!

The picture of A & L with your parents just made me smile so big. Leighton would love nothing more than to be considered "family"! I'm so proud of the girls this season. It was way more fun to watch them actually play as a team this time.

So glad your parents got to come watch her last game and cheer her on. She looked SO happy to have them there.

I can't believe that Dylan used the potty again on Friday!!! That is awesome. Hopefully when it is time to potty train it won't be too hard.

Loved the sheep sheering pics too and that your entire family got to go to the farm!

Oh, how cute is that last picture??? Love it.

Avery and Leighton appear to be liking soccer much more than my girl. I'm hoping I can talk her into trying again this fall.
