My daddy does what???

Avery has been perplexed for some time now about what her daddy does all day when he isn't home with us. I've explained it to her MANY times. The first time I tried to tell her she said "My daddy's not a doctor", then burst into tears and ran from the room. Blake was a little hurt- most kids would be proud right?

So, last night at dinner she looks over at my mom and says "My Daddy makes people sick." I get a puzzled look and chuckle from my mom. "Avery, don't you mean you're daddy helps sick people get better?"
Furrowed brow, long pause for thought..."Nope, he makes people sick"
And that was the end of that.

Funny things Avery says...

Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive list, this might not even scratch the surface of the giggles we get out of some of the things that fly out of that little mouth...

Blake, Avery, Will, and I are at the grocery store- this seems crazy...Blake? At a grocery store? Insert shocked gasp.
We walk by the dairy case where the string cheese lives and as I usually do I get one for Avery, open it and let her eat it while we shop.
She looks at Blake ans says, "Oh Daddy, we don't pay for this" and he turns a looks at me a smiles, "Oh, we don't?" "Nope, we don't".
And I'm sorry, Kroger. We probably owe you about $5.33 for our string cheese habit, we eat apples too. And no, we don't pay for those either. It's not that I don't mean to, it's just that by the time Tornado Avery and I make it through the grocery store I forget.

Now, I feel like a weight has been lifted. But, I still hold a grudge over the time you didn't give me my $5 off from some promotional special three years ago...so, I'm thinking we're getting close to even

Welcome Sweet William

This is my second attempt at a blog...we'll see how this goes with TWO kids!

We welcomed sweet William Blake on April 3rd...he decided to make his debut just a couple of weeks early. After a long 16 hours of labor, a few bumps in the road, and an unexpected c-section Will graced us with his presence. But he's been making up for all that...he's a great eater, great sleeper, and an overall cuddlebug! What a wonderful blessing this sweet, sweet boy is!
