Who loves you?

I tucked Avery into bed last night as we finished prayers. I told her God loves her and then said "who else loves you?" thinking she would respond "Mommy!" Nope. Instead she said "Luke!"

Our own events

Our whole upcoming weekend was cancelled. I wanted to take her to a touch-a-truck even on Saturday and Sunday we had a graduation party to attend. I guess it's all for the best, but it's summer, we're supposed to be able to do things together. Speaking of, this past weekend we went flower picking at Simmons again. I didn't get as good of photos of Avery as I did last year, but I did get some. We also managed to lose her first pair of sunglasses. She must have chucked them because I couldn't find them anywhere in the aisle we were in. I've made it thus far without losing much of anything, I guess it was bound to start happening. Avery has been making good use of her toddler tower. Tonight she helped me make a veggie lasagna while she nibbled on the raw zucchini and sampled other ingredients. She also routinely helps me water the garden out back. After doing so we check the tomatoes. When there is only one sweet 100 ready to go it is all hers. I've at least gotten to eat a couple.

Best Buddies and Holidays

Avery's best buddy's Mom invited us to their neighborhood this weekend.  They had an ice cream truck coming to their community.  It was nice to see them play.  Boy were they happy to hear they were going to get to visit and even more so to see them spot each other.  We had a great visit and it made what would have been a lonely 4th of July a great time.  She was also able to do so much more at the little park all by herself.  They were up and down for the slide a bunch of times.

The neighborhood was going crazy last night with fireworks, including the folks across the street.  Avery wasn't too fond of the loud ones this year, but she was content to watch from the windows inside.
