Oorah!

This Sunday we spent a very busy day visiting. We spent the morning having brunch with Uncle Thomas. Sunday was the day he left for bootcamp and will be the last day we see him for 13 weeks. Now we are counting down the days until Sept. 21 when we fly to San Diego to see him graduate.

In the afternoon we celebrated Baby Cal Capote at Aly's shower. Avery had so much fun playing with Capri and I loved being able to catch up with Aly since she lives in Southern California now. We even had some delicious cake and played some super fun games! Now if only Aly, Joe, Capri and Cal would move back to Napa I would have a good mommy friend to playdate with!

Playhouse

Today we picked up a playhouse for the backyard that I found on Craigslist. It's little and perfect for Avery. We left her at Grandma and Grandpa Nunley's house while we went to go get it, so it was a surprise for her when we got home.

Father's Day 2012: Pictures

This Father's Day was Justin's first Father's Day with two daughters. Aside from Avery not feeling 100% we made the best of it. It was such a fun day.

Father's Day 2012

Last year I took some pictures with Avery holding the letters to spell D-A-D. Since Olivia is a little young to hold any letters I wanted to find something to do craft with the girls. I saw something like this on the internet and I thought it was so cute.

I love the way it turned out.

Catch up: Avery

 

My sleepy girl in my bed. She really loves that big, fluffy blanket.

 

Smiley girl. 

 

What her hair looks like when it is washed and brushed. If only she would keep it that way. 

Big Sister

Avery has been taking her big sister role very seriously. If Olivia cries, Avery is right there on top of it -- or more likely on top of her. It's still unclear if she is crying because Avery is there or the other way around, but Avery is always ready to reinsert a paci if Olivia should make so much as a peep.

She is also very helpful when we are in the car. She likes to tell me when Olivia falls asleep, loses her paci, or is just awake and smiling at her. For this particular car ride Avery decided she would bring book (or 'boo-p' in Avery language) to read to her sister. It was so cute. Luckily the ride to Grandma and Grandpa Nunley's was as short as the book because she only brought the one.
