Before Christmas...

Avery and I went for a walk to the park with our neighbor Michelle on Tuesday. It was so beautiful out. People were cross country skiing around the pond, and although the lake was mostly frozen over, Avery still got to see a couple of geese. She was so excited!!!

Apparently the walk was just what Michelle needed....about 12 hours later she went into labor with her 3rd baby boy. Jon and I were on call to watch their other little boys (Sam and Everett) so Avery had some playmates for Christmas Eve....

Here are the proud big brothers getting ready to go meet their new little brother (Nathan) on Christmas morning...
