First Valentine's Day

A Walk

We took advantage of the nice weather yesterday (60 degrees!) and went for a walk. Avery absolutely loves going for walks. Mama and daddy enjoy it too!

Shopping!

The mall is like Avery's second home. I think she likes shopping as much as her mama does! Here she is trying on sunglasses in Baby Gap (where I could spend my life's savings).

Change is Coming!

There are going to be some changes coming up soon for me! Avery is going to be a year old in May, so I'm sure that's going to bring many changes. Also, we are going to sell our house and buy a different one in the same town. The bedrooms in our house just aren't laid out right for us to expand our family. We plan to start ttc this summer for baby #2 so that is going to be a big change too. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as it did when we tried to have Avery (which compared to some other people, wasn't that long) but whatever happens we know that it will be God's plan. Here is a new picture of my sweetheart:
