Here's an update through pictures of our summer so far. It's been a lot of fun! Unfortunately Mike is leaving for several weeks next month. :( But we are planning to fly across the country for a few days to see him while he is in Arizona and to visit our friends, the Newbolds. We'll get to celebrate Avery's 2nd birthday while we're there. Yay!!

| Fun in Texas with Mike's family. Doesn't it show on Avery's face? Haha. Daddy may have mistaken her for a bowling ball. :) |
