Avery's 2nd Birthday

Avery has changed fairly rapidly the last couple months from that sort of early-toddler that is always sweet, quiet and easy-going into that sort sort of mature toddler that terrorizes the twos.  His talking is evolving, but not as fast as his desire to communicate or his opinions on things leading to such desire to communicate.  

Throw an older brother into the mix, and we're in for a fun year.  It's so fun to watch them develop, but you can't help but mourn the loss of the purity of what they were.

Regardless, here is a bit of video of his 2-year birthday party we had last Sunday, September 14, 2008.

Eli's 1st Day of School

What a milestone.   Eli started preschool September 2, 2008.  He is going to Teresa Cook's preschool here in Iola, and he is loving it.  He goes Tuesday and Thursday from 9 - 11 am.  Avery sure misses his brother when he's gone--even to the point of crying in frustrated anticipation when Kate goes to pick him up.

Here's a bit of video of him prepared for that first day.
