Green Flower

On the actual St. Patrick's Day Monday, Avery rocked the green carnation in her hair, which was well received.  At home that night we tried to trap a leprechaun, but only saw his green footprints in the morning.  How does he do that?

St. Patrick's Day Party

We all went to a very fun party at the Burke's for St. Patrick's Day.  Bounce House, Guinness on tap, corned beef and cabbage -- the whole deal.  Avery is a party girl and was very excited for the party, down to her pretty party dress and green bow!

Stepping Stones

Avery loves Stepping Stones.  Could go there every day.  She particularly likes the coin-drop yellow spinning thingie.  The water room is also a favorite, with the balls and the air hoses.

Pinkie Braids

The hair is getting LONG.

Too Good.

At the Stepping Stones cafe, with posters about the body all over the wall.

Daddy: "Trevor, did you know over half of our bodies are made of water?"

Pause, chewing, thinking.

Trevor (dead serious): "Which half?"

Ridgefield Hockey

Trevor's Hockey "Learn to Skate" class has concluded.  Good times on the rink and some good progress.  All with the excitement of Olympic hockey in Sochi in the background (literally -- on the TV -- in the background).  Caught the U.S. beat Russia in the shootout at the rink!

Skiing

Over President's Day weekend we got Trevor back on the slopes.  First day he had a lesson at Mt. Southington, and then hit the slopes with Daddy.  Amazing progress in one day.  From magic carpet to the lift, to the top of the mountain and his first green slope.  So much fun that we went for more the next day at Mohawk Mountain.  Despite the agonizing President's Day crowd, we had a blast.  Trevor shred the mountain, top to bottom, and did a great job!

Valentine's Day

Trevor likes a good holiday as much as the next person.  OK, more than the next person.  He throws himself into the effort, decorating, planning, making lists.  In the case of Valentine's Day 2014, this was the decor of choice for his bedroom.  One letter per sheet of red construction paper.  Nice effort.

Losing the nap..

As mommy said, "if this girl wants to sleep, she will sleep"!

Trevor-ism

Trevor has had some good ones lately:

"How did you stay up in the air for that long?"

"Science speaking, why do we make footprints in the snow -- solids and liquids solids and liquids..."

"How big is a battlefield?"

Snowy Play

During a break in the snow action we got out some outside toys...

Avery is getting to be quite the big girl.
