Squatting and that silly pink rag.....

They crack me up! Averie loves to play the "Squat Game" and for whatever reason, Andrew would carry that pink rag around all day if I would let him. It can't be a blue, or yellow, or any other color rag. I MUST be the pink one. Who knows? Enjoy the video!

Blaaaaaahhhhhh.....

This is how I feel today. Blah....blah...blah. Averie is great at making the "blah" face. I love it!

Cute Hair

Averie has tons of HAIR!! Her hair is straight as a board and fine, just like mine. Every other day, after her bath, I take her into my bathroom, sit her up on the vanity, and blow her hair dry with a rolling brush. The funny thing about all of this is that Averie LOVES to have her hair done. Usually when we go out I put some kind of bow in her hair. Lately we have been doing pig tails. People that see us out always ask me how I get her to let me do her hair. Averie's hair is a big part of our daily life. It has a mind of its own and, therefore, is a part of our daily schedule.

This picture was taken right after her bath and blow dry.

Sing-a-Long

Last Monday I took Averie and Andrew to the Alaska Zoo for "Sing-a-Long at the Zoo". The program is held in the greenhouse which located in the middle of the zoo. I did not know that we would have to HIKE through the zoo to get to the greenhouse because I had never been there before. My stroller is not that great in the snow, therefore, I was really tired after pushing through the zoo. There were some moms that put their kids in a sled to get back there. I really think that I would do that next time. Anyway, there was a lady there that sang and played the guitar and they also had a table of percussion instruments for the kids to use. My kids LOVED the instruments. I had to keep a close watch on Averie because she would go up to other kids and take their instruments. I had a hard time getting Andrew to give back the drum when the program is over. The zoo is about 30 min. from our house, so this may just be a once-a-month activity, but they really seemed to have fun.

On My OWN....

Andrew LOVES the computer. Has learned how to climb up to the computer, but he does not know what he is doing. However, he really pretends like he does. He moves the mouse around and pushes keys on the keyboard and it looks like he is just working away. It's really cute and he really is trying to be so independent.

Bruce and his buddies.....

Bruce was in Orlando, FL to take the oral board examination on Jan. 26. Two of his fellow graduates from University of Tennessee Chattanooga medical residency program were down there as well to take the exam. Hallelujah, they all passed!!!

Peek-a-Boo

Andrew and Averie love to play peek-a-boo in Andrew's closet. Here are a couple of videos of them playing before bedtime.

Same day SURGERY!

Andrew and Averie both had tubes put in their ears on January 17, 2010. Here are a few photos that we took while we were waiting for them to have the very short procedure. They were a hoot in the waiting area. Andrew was not really enjoying himself. He cried bad every time they came to do anything with him. Averie, however, was a rock star. Nothing bothered her and she was up for whatever they did. It is very interesting how totally different they are as individuals.
