Catch-Up Post

With frequent babysitting, work schedules, and church callings, we're just having a hard time keeping the blog up. But we're going to. Here are many shots to try to catch things up a bit. We start off with some video clips of Avril taking some steps. By the way, not all the shots are in order below. I'm packing for a business trip to NYC and did this post in short order given its size.

Here Avril leaves her walker and takes some steps on her own.

And here she shows her skills with the walker.

Jared and Gayle at Angie's. Alicia and Jared took Gayle to a birthday luncheon (with Avril, of course).

Avril liked the food too.

Angie's gives a complimentary cinnamon roll for birthday celebrators. All four couldn't even finish it.

Alicia and Avril at the lunch.

Gayle posing with her new hairdo. Cute!

Still looks young.

The weather was still cold, but the sun was out and Avril wanted to be near the next door kids.

She gets a wagon ride from Jordan and Madison.

Avril and friends

Gayle gave a Relief Society lesson on the Fall of Adam and Eve. This was what she used for her table display.

The Yargers after Jesse's game. More game shots are further below.

Avril, of course, loved the animals.

Avril likes stories. See her skinned up nose from a fall on the pavement at Jesse's football game.
