Hello Everyone



Just a quick update to say hello and perhaps post a few new photos. We have had a great summer. Brad and I actually went on a vacation and left our sweet one with my parents and my sisters family. She had a great time, though we missed her a lot. I will try to post a few photos from her "summer camp" and Granny and Pops. My family has been great about helping us out as Brad and I sometimes work odd hours! Today Audrey had a playdate with two other children in our neighborhood--Perri and Alex. They had fun and played as typical almost two-year-olds--pretty much by themselves with an occassional argument over the same toy. It was a nice time.



No other big news. The tubes seem to be a great thing--Audrey is talking and yelling a lot--words we are not too sure of, but I am certain she is hearing and feeling better!

A New Post and Photos

Well I remembered my password and I am finally posting as ME. Audrey is great and growing up--much to our dismay. She is starting to say a few words and uses a lot of sign language. Much of her sign language refers to eating or sea creatures--Brad likes to teach her all the animals of the ocean in anticipation of the many trips to the beaches, oceans and dive sites of the world that we hope to share with her someday. Our favorite is Shark and she will do this on command. Like most people we ask her to perform anytime there is an audience! Today--we had tubes placed in her ears. We hope this will open up a whole new world for her and stop all the antibiotics and ear infections!





The photos are from her Baptism on Father's Day--we had our immediate family there for the big day. Audrey loves attention--but the moment of baptism she burst into tears, a classic photo opportunity.





More later. . .



The last photo is Audrey making a quick call, letting everyone know about the big day.
