So this month has been an emotional rollercoaster. Between John's grandpa dying, finding out my aunt may have a tumor, and another close family member finding out that he has thyroid cancer, and Avalon's birthday it's been a little crazy. Well, Avalon's birthday was so much fun. She is one spoiled little girl! She had her friends over to celebrate and help her play with her new toys. It's crazy how a first year flies by. Thank you everyone who was there you made it very special!!!

R.I.P Grandpa Green (Avalon's Great Grandpa)
We miss and love you very much!!!

Busy October!!!














We had a busy October. First we had Avalon's Great Grandpa's birthday. He just turned
87 and has been battling cancer for the last year. We had so much fun. She would find his walker and push it around the house. She LOVES her great grandpa. She always waves and him and crawlers over to him and wants to sit with him. It was a fun birthday. We also went to Apple Hill with Auntie Lindsay and Uncle Sean. It's our annual trip. Going and getting our pumpkins to carve, eating apple donuts, walking around, and then leaving with a pie. We also took her to Bishop's pumpkin Farm. That place was huge. We had so much fun. Their pumpkins have to be on steroids because they are HUGE! They have a petting zoo. A haw ride out to cut off your own pumpkin, a big hill with slides, a corn maze, a sun flower maze, and a train. Avalon enjoyed the train ride and looking at all of the animals. We also had a playdate with her friend London. It was so fun watching how they interact together. Avalon just wanted Jody to help her push the shopping cart around their house. Avalon has also become very fond of our cat Abby. Anytime she sees her she chases her around the house. Abby will come in the living room while Avalon is playing and watch her and Avalon will come over and roll on top of her. It's quite hilarious. We had dress up week at Tricks. All the little ones in their costumes was ADORABLE!!! But my FAVORITE part of the month was when we carved our pumpkins. Avalon hates anything dirty on her hands so we tried to have her play with the pumpkin guts. She didn't want anything to do with touching it, but she watched me scoop out the pumpkin guts and place them on the table then she wanted to do it. So she grabbed the scooper and then would place it in the pumpkin and take it back out and over the pile just like mommy. And then Trick or Treating. We went over to Barbara Jo's house and went Trick or Treating with her. Avalon signed please at every door. Then she caught on and before we would even tell her she would see the candy in their hand and sign more please. She LOVED Halloween. Then yesterday we went to the Train Mueseum and she learned all about the trains and ate dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. She loved the music and watching the waiters and waitresses dancing. She would start clapping and dancing in her high chair. We ripped apart a grilled chicken , but she decided it was so good that she would try and fit the whole thing in her mouth.
