In keeping with the tradition of last year, I wanted to get Santa pics with Avery. Dawn was here all weekend so she came along to help me because I figured Avery might be afraid. We dressed Avery up and got to the mall early Monday morning. I kid you not, the line was an [...]

Avery Is 20 Months!
Posted in Baby & Child, tagged baby 20 months, milestones on December 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As of yesterday, Avery is now 20 months! At this age, she is trying to repeat all words and says so many that I can’t remember them all. Scott really tries to work with her to say please ‘pease’ and thank you ‘sank you’ and she is very diligent about using those words to my [...]

Avery’s school puts on a Christmas Program every year and we were so excited to see her be a little reindeer. Her teachers were fabulous in getting her class all dressed up in their costumes and practicing all week. We decided to sit in the first row so we could get great pictures and video. [...]

I’m joining in the Christmas Card Carousel here. We sent our Christmas Cards out just yesterday, but I really wanted to participate in this so I’m ruining the surprise. I wish I could have sent a Christmas Card to everyone I know, but I didn’t order quite enough for that. Here are our Christmas Cards [...]

Since I have some time on my hands, I’ve been considering doing some handmade gifts this year. I particularly love the idea of making your own bath fizzies or sugar scrub. I love to be crafty and I should start doing this stuff more often. Sugar or salt scrub is mucho dinero at little bath [...]

My dear friend, Phoebe, did a photo shoot of us back in October. We drove out to Sealy to an old mill so we could get some cool contrast and I’m really thrilled with the results. I love the colors! Avery was quite a trooper allowing me to change her several times…. Ha! I couldn’t [...]

My friend’s little boy, Ryan, turned one this past weekend. What a cute party! There was a pony to ride, petting zoo with baby animals, sand box to find golden coins, and so much more. Avery absolutely fell in love with the pony. She would have rode her the entire time if she could have. [...]
Taking a Break…

Some of you know I have recently sold off one of my companies. It is kind of weird actually because I’m always in work mode so the semi-freedom has been foreign to me. I already have my next company in the works, but I’ve really made a commitment to myself to take this opportunity to [...]
Snow is Falling!

It’s been snowing all morning. As I look out my office, the grass is pure white and huge flakes are coming down. They’ve forecasted it to snow all week for today. For Houston, this isn’t a normal occurrence by any means. It’s gorgeous! Avery got to play outside this morning and loved it so much [...]
