Recent Happenings...

I recently had the pleasure of spending a day with Amber and Chris's sweet baby girl Avery Grace. Besides not being able to get her to sleep for her afternoon nap and feeling horribly guilty about passing off a tired baby to her daddy at the end of the day, Avery and I had a wonderful time playing! We went on two walks, both with her in the Baby Bijorn. Amber told me that she likes to face outward to look at things while you stroll, and boy is that true! We walked to Magnuson Park and later walked around Greenlake. Mom and Luke wanted to get together that day, so they met us at Greenlake and were able to meet sweet Avery. We read books, had tummy time, and rocked while I fed her her bottles. So fun! Avery, I am going to miss you and your parents so much!

This past Saturday night, while Casey was in Shelton with his dad and grandpa, I went to Chris's 30th birthday party that Amber had put together.... she did a lovely job organizing. It was a great evening!

I love my friends!!!

I suppose I should have at least taken one photo that included Chris, seeing as he was the guest of honor... oops.

And today I met up with Casey, Pops, and Gramps in Shelton for some "catch up" time and lunch at the casino... a Shelton tradition. Pops bought Casey and I each our own Keno card to play during lunch. Casey won $11, and I now can say that I have officially gambled.

Gramps' friend Mort (center) is a wonderful and extremely generous man who treated us to lunch. Thanks, Mort!
