Riley and Avery

Oh my goodness, we got the most awesome portraits of Avery today. It was questionable since she didn't have a morning nap before leaving for the appointment and them fell asleep in the car on the way there. I hid around the corner while her portraits were being taken and she was hamming it up like I've never seen. She particularly liked the feather boa. Yeah, she's a blonde-haired blue-eyed kid. Literally all of the pictures were excellent. These are my two favorites, but I picked the one with her in the box. Man, this kid is a professional. She looked in the camera and smiled every time. A dream subject. She's so delicate and pink. I don't think that I could have two children who look more different.

So Avery's portrait appointment was the beginning of a six-hour stint at the mall. I don't know how we spent so much time there, or what exactly we did that took up six hours, but we managed to do it. Panera Bread is about the only place we could eat that didn't have peanuts, eggs, or milk in their food. Mom and I had a lot of fun at the mall on Friday trying to find something at Chick-Fil-A that was safe. Turns out they fry everything in peanut oil. So we had them grill some chicken strips for Avery. And then they couldn't figure that out either. Ugh. I hope Avery outgrows this allergy thing. I guess I'll have to get really friendly with the nutrition guide everywhere we go.

I am pretty darn tired, so I think I'll have to go to bed. Riley probably wet it so hopefully I can find a dry spot to lay my carcass down in. I don't know what's wrong with her lately. Maybe it's just the change in routine and new surroundings. I hear just about anything can trigger a bedwetting habit...I'll have to post pictures of Riley tomorrow.
