Avery at the North Pole

We hit the amazing Norwalk "North Pole" light show this year. 135,000 lights.  Wowsers.

Avery Brewing Company

Not that we encourage it, but if Avery ever needs a job, later in life, and wants to work in the beverage industry, I think I have an idea...

In Colorado.

Christmas Tree 2013

And what a lovely tree it was...

Cooking up a storm

Trevor continues to enjoy life in the kitchen -- and the resulting pancakes, eggs, egg-in-a-hole, meatballs and (pictured) his patented French Toast.

Grandma and Tree Trimming

Great times with Grandma as we trimmed the tree!

Avery's Party!

Avery had a few friends over -- Kevin, Phoebe and Lily with Trevor and Sienna chaperoning.

Avery's Birthday Continued

The birthday was on Thanksgiving.  Grandma came for a visit.  And then we had a little party on Sunday.  This birthday just went on and on and on...

Avery is 3

Thanksgiving and NYC and Gig and Grandaddy and Grandma's visit all surrounded the all-important third birthday.  We celebrated on Thanksgiving Day in Tarrytown with the McLaurins and Gigi and Grandaddy and an ice cream cake!  Then we had a little party on Sunday with a few friends - Phoebe, Kevin and Lily with Trevor and Sienna acting as coordinators.  Finally, cupcakes in class on Monday.  Three celebrations for the three birthday -- seems about right.

Letters to Santa!

Christmas is Coming.  Trevor wrote his list to Santa.  Then he helped Avery with her letter.  And then Avery put the envelope in the mail!

Artist's Note

Amazing note found on Trevor's wall, referencing a great marker - painted - with - water piece on the wall next to it. 

THIS IS A PIECE OF ART THAT WAS MADE 3 DAYS AGO.  THE ARTIST DID NOT FIND A NAME FOR IT YET.

Team Galaxy, Fall 2013

Daddy was the coach and I had a good year on the very fun Team Galaxy.  Good group of guys with Mason, Michael, Justin, Blake, Oliver, Reid, and the 2 Henrys.  I scored a few goals on the season, including a hat trick in the final game!

Groucho Lives!

A great series...

Halloween Week

Beginning with Friday night Spooktakular at Avery's School (the Y), rolling into trick or treat downtown, the Library Haunted House, costume parades at both schools, and finally Halloween night itself, these costumes were well-utilized.

A skeleton and a pink crayon!

Hagerstown in October

Columbus Day weekend we went to see Gigi and Grandaddy in Hagerstown.  Added bonus of cousin Cole joing us for 2 nights!  We played some golf, paraded around town, and the four boys went to the Maryland Symphony.  Time for Three is now Trevor's favorite band.  Good times with Grands...

Sacked Out

Avery has a long Saturday, ends in the afternoon...
