Round 2: Is it Mom or Avery?

Here are another 2 photos that you can have fun deciding who is who.

Take me home West Virginia

We headed down to West Virginia which is where Shark, Craig's grandfather, grew up. The have a trailer there that they use like a cottage. It is beautiful countryside there and we had a really great visit. Avery was a bit overwhelmed but all the love from her 6 cousins but quickly adapted. The first photo shows the 6 kids who were in charge of entertaining Avery and the did a fantastic job.
The second photo is Avery with Ben, Clare and Jenna.
The third shot was captured by Craig the nature photographer and show the 2 deer that come to eat off the apple tree right near the garage.
The last shot was taken during the 'intermediate' hike that Shark took us on. It was too difficult for Avery so she decided to fall asleep in the back pack.

An Early Fall

For some reason all the leaves on our oak tree fell off while we were away for the August long weekend. Avery thought this was a great thing and loved the feel of the crinkly leaves.
In the last photo she is demonstrating what can happen if you crawl backwards and not forwards. She finds herself in the most interesting places. Actually she just started crawling today. It is still inconsistent but it is definitely a deliberate crawling motion and it is definitely forward.
Now let the fun really begin.

Great Grandpa's Photos

Hi Everyone,
We have been away in West Virginia so we have been negligent when it comes to the blog. I will try to do a few postings because Avery and I are going to the cottage for another week with the entire McGuire family (including Uncle Seamus) next week so we will be out of touch again. Here are some photos of Avery taken by her Great Grandfather. I also couldn't resist including a photo of Callum wearing one of Avery's hats. You know how much I enjoy Callum's large pumpkin.
There is even a photo of me with Avery - a rare sighting because Mom is the family photographer not Dad.

Lazy Days at the Cottage

Avery, my Mom and I were at the cottage for a week before Craig, Tom, Catherine and Dad joined us. It was wonderful. Avery is a big fan of the water and did lots of swimming in her new pool as seen below and in the lake (photos to come). Craig missed her like crazy and was happy to be reunited with his little girl. We have lots of photos to post so enjoy.
Also we got a new video camera from JJ McGuire General Contractors so I have some great video to post one day I just have to figure out how to do it. I shouldn't take too long I hope. I will let you know when I have some on there.
Enjoy the photos.

Swimming at Great Grandma & Grandpa's

Mom, Bri and Callum came down and we all went to my Grandparents to visit. Bri came up with the fun idea of going swimming in the pool at the apartment. As you can see in the last two photos the babies did not even mind getting dunked underwater they had a blast.
