I'm so behind on blogging, I'm not sure where to begin. I feel like there are so many milestones I have missed.
Definitely the latest and greatest with Avery is first grade! My baby girl is in FIRST GRADE! (*gasp, gasp!) Not only that, but she has already zoomed through the first 5 weeks with flair. I thought she loved Kindergarten, but she LOVES first grade. Every day I pick her up in the car riders line and she jumps into the van exclaiming how wonderful her day was. One day she said "Mom, I had a brilliant day today!" Good news. :) I love that girl of mine.
The summer came and went fast for Miss A, since she is in year-round school, but she had so much fun! She turned the big SIX. A six year old is so much bigger than a five year old, ya know. :) She celebrated her birthday in a shared party with Carly at a local farm and she celebrated her birthday day at the beach.
Grandma and Grandpa gave her a pair of skis for her birthday and she couldn't wait to try them out. So, she skied on the first try. She was so proud and we were too!! Next up, wake boarding. Watch out Dallas Friday!
Way back in June, Avery had her dance recital and did so great! Their theme was "Dancing for Humanity: Spreading HIS Word Through Dance." She is such a wonderful dancer and really excels in ballet. She knew all the moves and was ready to perform!

Avery is so outgoing and energetic. So full of life! She loves Jesus with all her heart and she loves to talk about Him, sing about Him, and ask questions about Him. She's a constant reminder to me that God loves us SO much. Sometimes she will say something or get excited about something and it just makes me stop and think and pray. I'll glance at her and the light in her eye just keeps me fixed for a while and I'm amazed at all she is growing into. Avery bug, I love you so much!! You are my happy, social, loud, busy, smart, independent, go-go-go AMAZING girl! *smooch!*
