Daddy and Avery

Here is one our favorite shots of Jim (daddy) and Avery:

Colleen surprised Jim on Father's Day with this shirt from J Crew.  It reads "Rye Beach, NH". That is where we got married, what are the odds that a shirt would say that from J Crew!  She wanted to get it for Jim for their anniversary in August but she wanted him to have it to wear during the summer so he got it for Father's Day!

One June 9, 10, 11, and on June 28, 29, 30 Jim got to be a stay at home day while Colleen finished her student teaching for her masters.  Jim loved being a stay at home dad and said that he would do it permanantly if the finances work out. But since Colleen will be a teacher it won't. He did take this photo of Avery during his stay at home time, it's one of our favorite pictures of Avery!

Avery's sleeping position

Avery always seems to sleep like she is on a roller coaster, with her hands up!!!  Here she is on June 11:

Picnic

After visiting our old hood in Mid-town Raleigh near North Hills, we went for a nice family picnic today (June 5th) near the Lassiter Mill waterfall, just inside the beltline.  We picniced under a nice shade tree, even Avery got to enjoy some tasty food!
