I am really bad at this.....

Yep, as a teacher I understand that titles should be capitalized.  However, when you haven't updated in about 5 months, there is some shame there.  So, read the title as you choose.  I imagine it being read in a sad voice with puppy dog eyes.  We had a busy fall and winter is off to a similar start.  So, here goes our entire fall in one entry.  Enjoy!

Avery started her last year of preschool!  She is now in the afternoon 4 year old class and loves it.

We went out to Funks Grove and took our annual family photo!

We visited Papa and Ga Carrion and went to the pumpkin farm with Lucas!

My cousin Kris got married this fall and asked Avery to be her flower girl.  This was her dress.  This was also at the shower where Avery was feeling "too shy" to show everyone her dress.

 

It is wedding day!!  Avery's first time in the makeup chair....

Her first time getting her hair done.  She also made the maid of honor tell her a story the entire time.  Thanks Jamie for entertaining her!

Auntie Robyn and Ryen

Avery and her new best friends!

This girl and I stayed and partied until around 11.  At that point, she found my dad and said, Papa I am really ready to go home.  Then she did this in the lobby of the Hotel Baker.  Keep it classy girl!

We also went to some princess classes where Avery met some princesses, learned some lessons and became a real princess herself!

There was table manners with Belle....

Inner and outer beauty day with Snow White...

Kindness day with Cinderella...

Storytime with Sleeping Beauty...

And then coronation day with Queen Elsa!

Daddy built Avery a new art table.  It is now a lego table.

Halloween came.  Avery was a pegasus and Ryen was a monkey.

Then Avery was Anna and Ryen was a smiling monkey.

Ryen has always been a climber.  This fall she took it to a new level.  She climbed on a side table and her feet slipped letting her head smack the table on her way to the ground.  Yeah, that was pretty bad!

Dave and I went to Chicago for a night to hang out with Ashley and Patrick and to see one of our favorites in concert - Langhorne Slim.

Then we thanked him for a great show!

Avery and I took her friend out for a day of breakfast, candy and the movies.  That was an adventure.

Auntie Ashley and I introduced Avery to the world of pedicures.  She really loved it.  She keeps asking when she can go again.  Music to my ears!

Ryen also loves shoes.  And it doesn't matter who they belong to.  She loves daddy's gym shoes just as much as she loves Avery's bright pink boots.
