Roadtrips, Sheepdogs, and Fidel Castro






So I've had an exciting few days. Mom, dad and I drove to Washington, DC through a snow storm on Sunday. It was pretty cool. The snow was coming down hard, and sticking to all of the trees. Daddy is a great driver, and I slept through most of it.

We got to Washington and visited mommy's friend and mentor, Amy, at her neat house. She's so great and made me laugh a lot. While there, I got to sit on a big rooster, and a camel, and even met Fidel Castro! But the neatest part was that I met their great dog, Winston. He's WAY bigger than I am, but I wasn't scared. He licked my face and ate Wheat Thins. He was funny and fun to watch.

We also got to stay at this funky old hotel on the waterfront. House boats, with people living in them, sat in the water right off our balcony. I loved watching the ice on the water, and the seagulls and other birds flying and diving.

Galloping and Pumpkin Rides

Updates: 1. Avery has learned how to gallop. He calls it skipping, and he has been doing it all around the living room, street, park, store... since yesterday afternoon. Everywhere. 2. Avery asked Walker, "What alphabet does your name begin with?" 3. I asked Avery what we are going to do tomorrow, and he said, "We are going to get some hay and ride on a pumpkin!" He's very excited, although he seems to have it switched around a bit.

A New Food Every Three Days...

Image
If you were to try a new food every three days for about a year, don't you think you'd get to the point where you had to be really creative to find something new? With combinations of ingredients, knowing that you have tried one dish, you would think that you'd exhaust the possibilities. Well, we've been new foods like this for some time now, and every time I go to the grocery or Farmer's Market, I come back with something new for Avery. Ritz crackers were introduced today! Chive cream cheese was on the menu a few days ago. This evening, we combined the two for Ritz cracker and chive cream cheese fiesta. Avery hogged down seven crackers piled high with cream cheese, had a huge piece of extra sharp cheddar, and some berry applesauce. This was all washed down with a huge bottle of organic whole milk, which friend Jeanna says, "tastes like fresh cut grass and ice cream." I am going to try to make a list of Avery's favorite foods : Veggies -sw...
