Sleepovers and lunch dates.

Today was a great day. Avery, Ethan and I invited the neighborhood honorary grandpa over for lunch and Monopoly today and we had a little comic relief to help us forget about the heat. Avery expanded his knowledge of the game with the idea of mortgaging his properties in order to play longer. Unfortunately for them, mom still won.

Ethan's babbling accidentally let a real live word slip today. I was feeding him and Avery was making a lot of racket and I sternly said, "Avery, stop it!" And ETHAN said, "OK" so clearly that Avery and I rolled on the bed laughing at how strange it was that Ethan could talk. It gave us a good sample of what it actually will be like when he learns those first words.

Avery is having his first sleepover tonight with his friend Matthew that he actually met when we lived in Ellendale--which seems like eons ago. It's a pretty big step. He really is growing up so fast. We had a pillow fight, ate popcorn, drank tang and the boys stayed up until 10:10. They were pretty excited. The best part is, they went to bed without a hitch (so far anyways).

We hope you are having a good day. We miss you guys!
