Sunflowers

Here's a few cutie pics we took of Avery and Addy in the sunflower field- so neat! The top pictures are of Ave at Kristin Braeding's wedding (what a beautiful bride she was!). Unfortunately the very top one was taken before we left the reception and poor Ave had a seizure in the car on the way home! We ended up calling the squad but it was just a febrile seizure- something that happens when kiddos get a temperature spike (which was weird because she had Tylenol all day for a low grade fever earlier in the day...). Apparently it's common and not a big deal (although it felt pretty big to us when it happened!). She's totally fine now! In other news Ave's talking up a storm- her catch phrase at the moment is to say "Come on_____(insert your name here) and then she'll take you wherever she wants to go! :) She actually said a short sentence the other night to Chris while they were brushing her teeth- "Daddy I do it..." I could just eat her up.

Our Yearly Trip to the Farm...

Oh, how we love our yearly trip to Great Grandma and Grandpa Finney's farm in Illinois! The miles of corn and country quiet are always a nice escape, although this year it was admittedly more difficult to maintain the girls' attention and keep them entertained! :) Nevertheless, we loved our time on the farm with G and G Finney; they are such wonderful hosts and we had a blast hanging out with Nana, Papa, Uncle Scott, Aunt Jen, and Addy! The only hiccup was a limp Avery developed on Friday which has stuck around. A trip to the ER tonight didn't give us any answers...blurg- just no broken bones... I can already see our future with many trips to the ER with as much of a daredevil as Avery is... she's a wild woman! :)
