It has been a pretty busy couple of weeks for us. We closed on our house! We are mostly unpacked and need a couple more pieces of furniture, but we are finally feeling settled and comfortable!
We have had quite a bit of company! First, my FIL, Tony, and his girlfriend, Kit, came for a quick visit. We had to scramble, but we were unpacked for the most part before they arrived. Avery adored Kit right from the get go just like the last time we saw her and she was a little shy right off with Grandpa, but it didn't take long for her to warm up.

She had fun playing kitty and wolfy with Kit. It did take a few days for Avery to come out of her role as a wolf after they left... It was a great visit and we hope to see them again soon!

Next, Avery got to meet her Great Grandma Lil! Lucky us! It was a short 3 day trip, but Avery and GG Lil hit it off right away. It was a wonderful visit and I am so glad that we got to spend some time with her.

The weather was not great for her visit. We did make it out to the shrine one afternoon :) It was so cute how they connected!
Now, Sam's cousin, Courtney, is in town. She is a vet student in Texas that is up here doing an externship with Sam and the practice Sam works for. They are currently up in Haines, AK doing some horse work. She is here until the 25th!
Then we have a bit of a break. Avery will start preschool and then Sam's mother and Rick will be here near Avery's birthday. I can't believe she will be 3 in just over a month! It is going WAY too quickly!
