Hey All! Not much to say around here these days... we've been experiencing a bit of boredom lately. Most of the big move-in tasks are done, so we're kind of bored. In my boredom, I came up with a list of things that indicate that we are bored...
10. In the last week, I believe I've finished 4 books and stayed up until 5 am reading on two separate occasions... why? because I can.
9. We go for really long family walks... we have the time, why not?
8. We walk everywhere- playground, store, blockbuster... we have the time, why not?
7. I check to see if people have commented on our blog about 80 times per day.
6. Jeff sat at the Cheesecake Factory for an hour and a half waiting for an interview (read the entire menu), and he really didn't mind.
5. Jeff has started working out again "because it's something to do"- health is just a bonus.
4. Bejewelled 2 Deluxe
3. Tumblebugs and Luxor
2. Chuzzle
1. Yikes, I've gotten way too into free online puzzle games.
Avery is eating up all of the mommy and daddy time. So, that's nice for her. She really is a daddy's girl! Lately, any time she sees someone wearing a hat she exclaims, "look, cowboy"- regardless of the gender of the person, of course. So during our long walks when Jeff wears his hat she constantly says, "you cowboy?". Then she puts it on, "I'm a cowboy!" She could spend hours putting the hat on the three of us and telling us we're cowboys. Perhaps it's much cuter in person. So she completes the look by getting her rocking horse and being a cowboy.
Here's Avery on a bike trip to the playground. She's really not at all getting the concept of riding her bike, but it was fun to try. By the end, she was pedaling better, but the girl can't steer and pedal. It's quite astounding.10.

So I never know how to end a blog entry... our sincerest regards, miss everyone, best wishes...
Good luck on the job searches! I'm glad you have time to enjoy one another.

we happen to get our blog on at the same time don't we? only mine wasn't at 3:30 a.m. ... out of books? :o) I love you girl. wishin' you were here, wanting to take a day trip to the zoo :o)
oh and mark has been wearing his hat that is just like jeff's (or avery's), so they're twinsies from a distance.
blog comments are so addicting aren't they?
Hey Steph!
I've been thinking lots about you guys and missing you much!
I'm certain that Meghan is missing her Avery time too. I don't think we'll make it this summer to visit...somehow the time is flying by.
Hopefully soon we will though!
Sending you my love!
