The FREEZING Midwest Welcomes Us!!!

The last few days have been spent at Mimi and Papa's in their neck of the woods. We just left sun and sand to come to cold and snow. However, I must be honest, I hoped and prayed for snow while we were here....and WE GOT IT!!! We had a great time at Mimi and Papa's house....we always do. "There's no place like home" is the best way to describe our visit. Its always so cozy, plenty to do, plenty of space for AAA to run around and of course Avery gets more attention than he knows what to do with. If you don't believe me, see below.



Avery has Mimi jumping on the trampoline with him "Jumpy, Jumpy, Jumpy Boy"



And I quote "plenty to do".....Mimi and Papa have more toys than Avery has time to play with. Here he has Papa helping him ride horsey


After a day full of playing, Avery was pooped. We literally found him hiding under their sofa table trying to fall asleep......"night, night, momma"



One of the days we loaded up and went to the mall to do some shopping and so mommy could spend tons of quarters on the rides for Avery. Coat and stocking cap on.....its COLD here.

And.........THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR..........Avery in the snow!!!

While at the mall we bought Avery snow pants, boots and mittens so we could get him out in the snow to see what it was all about. He LOVED it...until he fell face first. YIKES!!! That was cold.

Now we're headed to Indianapolis to visit Megan and to FINALLY meet her twin girls. Stay tuned for more updates on our journey to the Midwest.

Jessi! How did that happen? Avery looks so grown up all of a sudden. In the photo under the table he looks like he should be packing his backpack for Kindergarten! Bring the snow gear with you back to FL, you might need it! :)
