Almost done!

Last night Cory and I had the capstone dinner for his Executive MBA program. I can't believe he's down to his last three months (hallelujah!!) It's been a busy two years but he's loved the program so it's made it all worth it. I'm so proud of him and all his hard work juggling the program, work, and our family, and he does it all so well! He's tried very hard, and I'd say succeeded, to still be present as much as possible so he can be around and involved with the kids and I, even with how busy he's been. We'll be glad to have all our weekends and nights back with him! ❤

Avery is just so sweet and adorable, we love her so much and she brings us so much joy! She has gotten to be so enthusiastic! I think she gets more excited about things than any of my kids ever have at this age. She'll do things like, whenever I say we are going to go somewhere, no matter where it is (the store, Costco, music time, the museum, etc.) she'll respond with, "ok, mom! Gate!" (Great 😊) Or "yay!!"
Whenever I suggest something like let's read a book, or play with blocks, or whatever it may be, she also comes back with the happiest, enthusiastic little responses like "ok mom!"
I think it's the cutest thing, and I must say her happiness and enthusiasm for life is contagious! When she gets so excited I can't help but be excited, too :).
She also gets super excited when we see something driving that makes her excited, like a bus or a dog or something like that.
Tonight it was so funny, we were driving to the store and stopped at an intersection when she said very excitedly "oh, look mom! A rock!" I looked to the side of the road to where she was pointing and sure enough, there were a few larger sized decorative boulder type rocks on the side of the road. I thought it was so cute and funny she would get so excited about a rock, but that's the way she is - she seems to find happiness and excitement in even the little things! Love this about her. Somehow I don't think she will grow out of this enthusiasm for life, it just seems in her nature. I think she will always be full of happiness and life and enthusiasm, which I love! How lucky I am to be this sweet, smart, busy, happy girl's mom!
