Travis had shoulder surgery at the end of August. This is week 5 post surgery and he is anxious to get back in the game. He has done a lot better than I thought he would. I remember that when we were in high school he broke his hand but still played basket ball. I didn't think even surgery would keep him down but he has done really well. His new game is Back Gammon until he can get back onto the greens.
This picture is so Avery. She is little miss independent. "I can do it on myself!" she tells us. She loves wearing crazy socks. What a riot. The other day she was with Travis while I was out for something. Knowing that dad would not likely consent to her having a cookie she cleverly asked him for milk. When he got out the sippy to poor it in she protested that she wanted a big glass. So, of course she got a big glass. As she went to sit down at the table she said, " oh dad, how 'bout a cookie for my milk." Man, she knows how to work it.
These are some pictures from our trip to Farmington this month. One special thing that my mom does is decorate for
the Holidays. This is particularly exciting for Avery and when we went up there this last trip my mom, Brooke and Avery prepared the house for Halloween.
I miss my Mom terribly since she married and moved away; but at least she moved to a great place. Farmington is absolutely beautiful. Her new husband, Brent, has a lot of fruit trees. Avery has enjoyed cherry picking and now peaches. They also have a walnut tree, plums, pears, and apples. Our summer trips have greatly contributed to Avery's strong appreciation for fruit. This trip we made peach jam. I wish I took a picture of that. Avery loves to pick the fruit from the trees and the vegetables from the neighbors garden. We love to go visit in the summer and fall. I don't think we will make it up there too often in the winter though.
So that was September...
