Happy Wednesday



Old Mother Hubbard

Old Mother Hubbard needs to go to the grocery store! Avery is delighted to have a new hiding place, however he is not so fond of the bare cupboards when dinner time roles around. I don't think mustard counts as a vegtebale? Do you think that stare is because we found him or because there is nothing to eat? 

That is Avery's "Don't mess with me" misquito stare...along with his misquito swatting stick.

One got him on the forehead and he was NOT happy about that...you better watch out misquito he's lookin for you!

A little too early for potty training

I don't think that is how your supposed to use it :)

Living spaces

So, we have moved out of our hotel living space and into our basement living space. Once again boxes are piled up high. In other places we have lived there have always been plenty of spaces to shove things in to hide them for a while until we felt like dealing with them :) In this very tiny living space there are not very many nooks and crannies to remove things from view. The only things we have purchased so far is a bed and a computer desk. So our clothes are still in suitcases, we lounge on the floor, and eat dinner standing up. It's quite comical.

Avery also had a bit of a struggle settling into his spacious room. Although Zac and I have downsized, Avery's new room is much larger then his closet living and he seemed to have a bit of a melt down the first night in his new space. The second night he had a mini melt down, the next night he babbled for about 45mins before falling asleep, and finally last night he went straight to sleep with no crying at all....ahhh back to normal. However I must confess that we have not given Avery a bath for the entire 4 days we have been here. You see, we only have a stand up shower and have yet to try our hand at bathing Avery in the shower. I mentioned to Zac tonight that I hope we don't look at each other in a year and realize Avery has STILL not had a bath :) Surely that won't happen...right??? We can blame it on living in Fairbanks...there are lots of people who live in dry cabins...how do they shower?

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

Avery and I wanted to say HAPPY FATHERS DAY to a GREAT dad!

Zac has taken on a new role as a stay at home dad and he is excelling in that role. Avery loves his daddy so much and I know he really enjoys Zac being home with him. Being a stay at home parent is no easy task and we just wanted to say how thankful and appreciative we are for everything Zac does for this family.

Peaches

These aren't just ANY peaches, these are NORTH CAROLINA peaches!!! Yesterday Zac and I received a package and low and behold it contained home grown North Carolina peaches from Zac's dads farm. Man how we missed this delicious fruit. Oh, you can get peaches here in Alaska...they just taste like cardboard...they look like peaches they just have absolutely no taste. So this was a much appreciated treat! Normally it takes a little over a week for a package to arrive, but his dad had them sent next day air and most of them made it fairly intact. Before I could even get home to see them Zac had already cut 3/4 of them up and was making a peach cobbler :)

Thank you Vic for this WONDERFUL treat!!!
