Pigtails
Avery's hair is finally long enough to put in little pigtails! We celebrated the extra long weekend with the excitement of the pigtails, putting together our new elliptical machine, driving back down to B-Town, and having lunch at Moe's with Chad, Jamie and Garrett. So after visiting the orthopedic doctor last week, I'm supposed to be cross training and not just running. My knee has a chunk of scar tissue that has my knee cap out of line-it hurts! Thus, enter the elliptical. So we spent a few hours putting that thing together. On Saturday, we loaded Avery up and drove down to Bloomington for the 2nd weekend in a row! Jake needed his car down there so Artie drove it and I followed. We had a really nice visit with Jake and his girlfriend, Riley. They seem to be adjusting to college life pretty well. Sunday, we exhausted ourselves in the yard and really feel like we got nowhere! We mowed which felt like like trying to mow in Arizona. We have had no rain in forever and mowing just blew around a bunch of dust. The grass hasn't grown in a couple of weeks, but somehow the weeds still grow like crazy. Artie got ahold of a power tool and, well, let's just say one of the trees looks really sad. The tree is no longer blocking the fence gate or hovering over the house-that was the goal-but it also is really no longer in the way of anything and doesn't look much like a tree. As my hubby says, "the leaves will grow back and fill it in". To round out the weekend, we met up with Artie's brother, Chad, and his family. We have a great time getting together with them. We ate at Moe's, which is now one of my favorite places in the Fort! Avery loves any time she gets to spend with her cousin, Garrett-as you can see from the picture! It was a nice weekend, though we didn't get as much done as we should have-seriously we spent the weekend watching One Tree Hill on dvd! Here's to a more productive week!
