zen wednesday - no school

it has been a long while since i have updated the blog. it was a busy, exhausting month. the good news is that i got an unexpected day off in the middle of the week. we had ice storms last night and in to this morning. school was closed so i spent the whole day with avery.

we went out to play in the ice. it was not as cold as it looks. the sun was bright and the ice was melted by about noon. maverick was not too excited about the weather. avery had fun pulling the icicles off the edge of the table and fence. it was a low key day and i am thankful for that :)

i realize she looks like a marshmallow.

she was wearing about 3 layers and that jacket is size 4t.

here are some other things that have been going on this month...
avery started a new school. it is a child's garden montessori. she is really happy to go in the mornings. we got a note from the teacher that said avery is "social and independent." yup.


avery is potty training. kind of. she likes to sit on the potty, read books, flush, and wash her hands. we have not mastered the actual "going" potty yet. she tries.


besides having freezing days, we have had some 80 degree days too. ahh, texas.


avery's hair is long enough for pigtails. as long as she doesn't yank them out.

oh, and my excuse for why i am so tired and i can't seem to keep up with this blog, (or anything else) ...we are having another baby!!! i am 11 weeks along and due august 18. i am starting to get my energy back. avery turns 2 in may so they will be 27 months apart. we are so excited :)
