We had our first swim of the year last weekend. We were in desperate need of some family time (life has been crazy lately!) so we headed to the pool for the day. Our weather quickly went from breezy and comfortable to humid and 90 degrees. It felt good to be in the pool again!
I must be nominated for "Mom of the Year" because for two years in a row we have had family pictures done! This year we chose to have them taken on Florida Southern's campus. Besides having sentimental meaning (where Adam and I met) and being the place of my employment, it proved to be full of beautiful places to snap pictures. Of course there are way too many to post on the blog but here is a small sampling. Enjoy!!
Happy Birthday to my beautiful girl, Avery! She turned 6 earlier this month and with each passing birthday I get a little emotional thinking about the day she was born. The excitement and anticipation you feel right before becoming a parent is a little surreal. And then it all of a sudden becomes very real. We love you so much Avery!!
A coworker of mine has a business making cake pops. The girls loved these and they were just the right amount of cake for our little family celebration on Avery's actual birthday.
Avery wanted to have her birthday party at a local Gymnastics place that she went to for spring break. This was also the first year that she was pretty specific about WHO she wanted to invite. The staff at Gym Etc did a great job! They started off with some warm up stretches and then went through an obsticle course.
During present opening time, Avery sat on this big block and each kid enjoyed standing next to her as she opened their present.
