Avery's 1st Gotcha Day in the USA


For Avery's first "Gotcha Day" in the USA we decided to have lunch with grandma and cousin Dylan. That evening we wanted to try something different so we went to the loop and tried Jilly's Cupcake Bar. Man, was that ever good! Avery wasn't sure about eating a cupcake at first. She picked at it, licked it and then decided to eat it. She did a pretty good job. The owner, Jilly, was taken with Avery. She thought that she was so pretty (I tend to agree:)) and how special it was that we were spending her gotcha day at her establishment. She decided to allow Avery to pick out the adorable pink hat (which you see towards the end of the slide) as a gift to her for "gotcha". We had a great time and look forward to next years Gotcha Day festivities. We love you baby girl!

Departure - One Year Ago TODAY!!


One year ago today we departed Missouri heading for Vietnam. I will never forget the emotional roller coaster that day: scared to leave Owen for so long but excited to finally be getting our precious little girl, Avery.

Summer Concert Series

Scott listens to a local country radio station and happened to be listening the day that they were giving away concert tickets. He had to answer the question of..."name 5 characters off of the movie Cars?". Well, that was easy considering we watched it practically daily for a number of weeks. So, he won the concert tickets and we went to see Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts last night. It was an awesome concert! The weather was perfect and the crowds were amazing (it was sold out). I have never seen a concert opening quite like Rascal Flatts. It was phenomenal!!!
