Butterfly Coat

Words are coming pretty fast and furious these days for Avery.  And she looks darn cute in her butterfly coat and purple hat.

Christmas Morning

A few weeks before Christmas, Trevor came to Daddy and said he wanted to get a present for Mommy.  After a few days, he decided on a necklace.  Mommy and Daddy coordinated, and Trevor and Daddy went to Wilton Jewelers.  Before we left, Trevor ran to his piggy bank and got some money to "buy" Mommy's gift.  When the lady at the Jewelers asked if the money was from his piggy bank, Trev responded, "no, it is from my pumpkin bank!"  When the time came Christmas morning, Trevor was so excited to gift it to Mommy.  Very cute.

Christmastime in Washington

Like the old Steve Earle song, we headed down the suburban DC for Christmas at Aunt Annie and Uncle Mark's house in Potomac.  One morning we grabbed cousin Cole and headed into the District.  We saw the White House, the National Christmas tree and all of the state trees.

Avery's Cake

Have to look back at Avery's birthday cake.

Front Page News

We visited Santa at the Wilton Library (and saw him later at Ambler Farm) in the weeks before Christmas.  Trevor was so photogenic with St. Nick, that he made the front page of the Wilton Bulletin.

Trevor was a little embarrassed by the attention at school.  The week after, when the front page had changed, Trevor walked past a newspaper machine at the Y and signed, "thank goodness I am not on the front page anymore!"

Trevor on the court

Saturday morning tennis with Coach Michael.  "Trev, don't get caught snoozin!!"  Hilarity at the Y, and a solid volleyer is Trev.

Spoon

Avery continues to master the art of the spoon feed...

Back on the ice

Like, literally, SPRAWLED on the ice most of the afternoon Sunday in Ridgefield.  "Daddy, it's hard."  Not nearly as hard as scooping you up off the ice!  We are making slow progress as we regain confidence on skates this winter.

Birthday Tutu

Avery received many lovely birthday presents.  Early indicators show the tutu(s) to be the favorite.  Wearing a tutu over pajamas is not something you see everyday at 6:45AM.

Shows, shows, shows

Trevor's bedtime theater continues.  With the holidays approaching, we have a host of new material for shows.  Last night, we got a version of a Charlie Brown Christmas.  Last week, we got the first of (I am sure) several Santa shows for the season.  Many props and costumes...
