I don't even know where to begin... first sorry to everyone for not keeping you up to date with Avi's developements. Some exciting stuff has been going down at the Kinscher residence, Avi has gotten her first two lower front teeth!! I wish I had a picture to show you how adorable they are but she has quite an attitude when I try to look at them. She has really been picking up speed in her ability to get around the house and she loves to go after the cat (poor tipper, but she has been a good sport). Last night I went to go check on Avi in her crib and she was sitting up all by herself playing!! I hadn't  seen her do that yet and was so proud. As if that wasn't enough, later on in the morning she started to pull herself up on things and was trying to get into a standing position. I sure do pray that I have the energy to keep up. Talk to you soon!

Here are of few pics of Ira & Kimberley's wedding, Congrats!

Inspired!

My sister Leyla has started a blog and I am SO EXCITED (if anyone was made to blog it was her) and it has also inspired me to doing a little updating of my own... first of course is Avi, she is doing great! She is on the edge of crawling, right now she is getting up on her hands and knees and she is able to "scoot" around the whole living room. I am definitely feeling the pressure to baby proof the whole house as she has gotten into some things she shouldn't have - sneaky little girl ;). She has started on bananas and seems to like them well enough although the texture makes her gag a little, it's kinda funny. My parents were up here a few weeks ago and we went swimming at a natural spring out in the desert, the water felt so good it was really hot that day. The one really cool thing about having a child is that everything we do seems like such a big deal cuz it's her new to her. It just makes the ordinary, like going for a swim so much more fun.
Some very good friends of ours Kimberley and Ira got married on Sept 6th, my aunt Janet and my grandma (grandma moms as she is called) came to help out at the wedding and got to meet Avi. Erik & I have known Ira since we were kids (when I first met Erik I was surprised to learn that he knew Ira as well- small world) The wedding was so much fun and the setting was absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't be happier for them and wish them the best.
Fall has finally arrived here in Bishop and last weekend the mountains got their first dusting of snow, it was very beautiful, however it didn't stay long. The trees are starting to change color as well. Fall is my favorite season and I can hardly wait for Thanksgiving, this year I will be down south with family and I am all ready dreaming of Turkey and cranberry sauce!
