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!
