Our Latest Obsessions

Are you asking yourself, you mean, besides choo choos? Yes, we have new obsessions!

First, Avery's is dogs. Doggies. Doggies. Doggies. She says it all the time, and she LOVES them. She is not afraid of them AT ALL. She made best friends with Will and Megan's two labs, and there are dogs everywhere in California so she was in heaven. Then at Sam Kuehn's birthday party there was a little dog there, and she played with it for TWO hours straight and did not touch a single toy while we were there. She wasn't even interested in cupcakes. Just throwing the ball to the dog.

Avery actually is in love with all animals, but she calls them all doggies. She can say "kitty," "duckie," and "bird" so she'll call those by their right names, but every other animal is a doggie, whether it's a horse, sheep, elephant, monkey, pig, or alligator.

Here is Avery acting like, well, a doggie! Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery.



Harrison's new obsession is puzzles. And I am happy to stoke the fires on that one. We are so proud of him, I have bought lots of puzzles (thank goodness for $2.99 24-piece ones at Target) and he can do them all by himself on the first try. He exhibits so much patience while doing them, and really concentrates hard. Then when he his finished, my heart melts because he is so proud of himself!

Here he is, surrounded by some of his new puzzles.
