Dallas Arboretum

For one of Scott's father's day gifts, Avery and I went to a store in Coppell called "Art From the Heart" and made him a frame that has her footprint on it and is painted in OU colors. In the frame I put a picture from our visit to the Dallas Arboretum while Scott
was in Nicaragua. Naturally, I didn't want to put any pictures from it on the blog until we gave him the frame and picture. The Arboretum was so beautiful and I'm already looking forward to going back and taking pictures next year when Avery can pose by herself and walk around and stuff. I'm thinking it might even be a good place to have some professional portraits done for her 1st birthday. Yikes! That's hard to imagine!
I think Scott enjoyed his 1st Father's Day though. If you know him well I bet you can guess where he chose to go for lunch--- that's right, Pizza Hut. He's a simple man, but I love him for it. We laughed at that fact that Pizza Hut was so busy today. We decided that Father's Day might actually be one of their busiest days other than Super Bowl Sunday. Other than that we've just had a relaxing day at home together as a family- what more could you ask for?

Friends and fondue

The "friends" part of the title refers to Avery's new favorite buddies-- the duck and frog wrist rattles that are attached to her carseat. She is so funny looking at them and smiling and "talking" to them. You'd think they were telling her jokes or making funny faces or something. And everytime we put her in the carseat she looks at them like "Oh yay. you guys are still here!" I guess with a 2 1/2 month old it's the little things that a parent delights in.

The fondue part of the title refers to our visit to "Simply Fondue"restaurant in Dallas last week. It was just one of MANY places we went. Avery's Mimi and Poppi definately kept us busy while Scott was in Nicaragua. We did a lot of shopping-- including dowtown Grapevine, visited the Dallas Arboretum, ate out a lot and I even got a relaxing massage from my sister, who is a massage therapist. All that "going" really made the week go by fast. I'll post more pics of mine and Avery's trip soon.
