Remember Me? Let's catch up!

Oh my goodness. I can't believe how long it's been since I posted. So much has happened; as you might expect, I've been SUPER busy. So, what have we been doing post-Avery's 2nd birthday? October 15th - Deadline time at work. Lot's of work; very little play. October 21st - Kayden's birthday. I took Avery to the petting zoo party which also included a pony. There were only a few kids at the party, so I think Avery got to ride the pony 20 times. She LOVED it, and I'm sure if she could articulate it, a pony would be the number one item on her Christmas list. October 31st - Halloween. We took Avery trick or treating (along with several of our neighbors including her boyfriends Evan & Emery). She had so much fun going up to the houses, and not saying "trick or treat" (although she knows how to). We even let her eat as much candy as she desired. We dug in, too! November 4th - I left for a conference in Orlando. Nathan & Avery met me up there a few days later, and we went to Disney World. What a blast, but we are exhausted. Avery would wait in line for the characters, but as soon as we got close, she'd freak out and wanted nothing to do with them. We got a few good pictures, but not as many as I had hoped for. November 15th - We celebrated Evan's 3rd birthday with a real firetruck. Avery puts on her fireman hat from the party, runs at full speed, and tells us "I firetruck". She is SO cute. November 20th - We started potty training Avery. She is doing AMAZINGLY WELL, and hardly has had any accidents. She's better at home than at daycare, but overall, we couldn't be happier. November 26th - We had a great Thanksgiving with family gathered at our house. I found out two days earlier that I passed my blood sugar test, so luckily I was able to sample all the yumminess! November 28th - Uncle Josh turned 31. Me and Nathan went out to celebrate, while Grammy kept Avery for the evening. No accidents :) I think we're about caught up. Nathan and I are about to partake in plenty of holiday parties. First on the list is this Saturday for the PKF party. We can't wait. Avery will stay with her Mimi & Pop all weekend (she is SUCH a big girl), so Nathan and I can enjoy our evening, and maybe even sleep in once or twice. I'll post again soon. Hopefully things will slow down just a little bit!
