Are We Related?

Avery and I spent the past week in Northern California so she could meet more of her family! Very first introductions are so much fun! Avery met so many new people this week that on the flight home she was attempting to crawl over to the man in the middle seat ... You're new: you must be my family!

Here we go!

New Space

First off - a delayed but HUGE thanks to my mom who patiently navigated through 3 weeks of moving chaos with me. I would not have been able to do this move without your help. Here's a bunch of pics of the new place we call home:

Avery turned 6 months old yesterday and since she's a California girl now, where better to take some shots than on the beach!

Happy half-birthday sweetheart!

Hooray for Easter! Jesus has risen and we are partying to celebrate! Cute dresses, sunny weather, lunching outdoors, family fun and rocket launches... all those great Easter things! ;)
