Whew....

...what a day!
Avery was quite the social girl today.
Since she has not been sleeping quite as well the past couple of nights, our 7:30a.m. wake up "call" came early this morning. Avery was excited to get ready for a mid-morning visit by friends Lindsay and Lindsay's mom Ruth. We had a good time visiting, looking at Avery & talking about the excitement of Lindsay's soon-to-be arrival, Kendall Marie. As a childhood friend of Linsday's, I don't think we could have ever imagined we'd have girls of our own someday...."Indian Princesses", here we come!

Lindsay (& baby Kendall), Ruth & Avery

For lunch we headed up to Market Street to meet Steph, Lauren, Logan, Lathan, Emily & Cole. Em's mom, "GG" also joined us - what a treat - AND she treated us to lunch! Thanks GG!

Hi Coley!

"Hey Avery, wanna come sit by me?"

Avery, Nat, Cole & GG

Nat, Em & the babies

We attempted to get a group pic......

What "really" happened - Avery was passed out not caring any less, Cole was trying to show GG that he really was o.k. sitting on the table, & the triplets were discussing the best way to eat a breadstick.

GG took Cole home so Em could go get a massage after lunch - lucky!

Group pic before we departed - minus GG & Coley:(

Tonight we headed to visit the YAM bible study group. Avery LOVES it because she gets to be held by beautiful girls all night:)

Scary (Halloween) faces

Avery making her "oh my" Halloween face.

So, one would hope that a day such as this would make for a sleepy girl. (Note, however, that she's sleeping through most of the above "action"). In our case, it's a hope that's not been realized as of 1:40 a.m. the following morning. As I type this, I am listening to Avery (through her monitor) not quite ready to call it a day.

Looks like mommy will be sleeping in this morning.

On a final note, just a confirmation (check out the belly) that Avery is getting plenty to eat these days.
