Mobile Pics



We had a great trip down to Mobile this past weekend. It was too short by far, but we squeezed in lots of visiting, good food, and fun in the sun. As always, I didn't take enough pictures, but hopefully Mom, Sherri, and Anna will share theirs with me. This was our last 'all the girls' weekend before Anna moves to Seattle! We are sure going to miss her, but at least we have a fabulous place to come visit her!


Avery has a small obsession with sunglasses, shoes, and books. I like to think she gets the last from me...the first two, obviously Aunt Anna's influence!


When you take two small children out to dinner on a Friday night, eventually, you'll do just about anything to keep them occupied! Silly Daniel is always up for a funny face competition.



On a totally unrelated note, one of my new favorite things about my neighborhood are the visits from the geese. Every morning they take a stroll up from the lake at the bottom of the hill. I've caught them several times in my yard and driveway and lining the road in front of our house.


I love it when they break off into little family groups with the parents at either end of the babies. How sweet are they?

My 'special' kitty, Gracie, actually tried to stalk them...I wish I had the video of her lunging after a goose then jumping 3 feet into the air and high tailing it back to the garage when the goose opened it's wings and honked at her. Below is 'special' kitty Gracie. Do not be fooled by her beauty! Sophie got all the brains and personality!




Here she is trying to convince Sophie to go stalking with her. (I'm not making this up, I swear)

Sophie seems to have more sense in this regard. She'll actually come down with me as I feed them bread.


The main drawback of geese coming to visit (besides Bailey freaking out to get outside to them), is the POOP! You can see all the lovely little gifts they left for us on our driveway.

Alas, as evidence below, my mailbox gets consistently pooped on by everything but geese, so I suppose it isn't fair to single the geese out.

You guys are so cute. I could eat Avery with a spoon. Why don't I have red hair?
