Dad's Birthday, Strawberries, and the Baby Shower

We've had a crazy month! I will be breaking this month up into 2 posts.  We had a ton going on but we're doing great.  Avery is really starting to become a young lady and my belly is a planet now.  Lot's of changes :) 

We celebrated Dad's birthday after they got back from their trip to New Orleans.  They said the food was out of this world and that the musical atmosphere was amazing. Tim and I are living vicariously through our friends and family's trips (little ones tend to be harder to travel with surprisingly enough ;) ). Anyway, we took Dad out for a nice relaxing dinner at one of his favorite restaurants.
Avery and I joined our friends Emily and Peyton to pick strawberries.  I had never been before, so it was really fun for me too.  Of course, I had to dress up the girl in a strawberry themed dress.  It was precious. And we have enough strawberries to last us a loooong while.  Avery didn't know when to stop filling the basket.
My wonderful friends gave me a baby shower for the little man.  We had a wonderful time and now the boy won't have to wear pink clothes!  Thanks to my girls and everyone that came.  It made me feel so special.  

Avery is kinda of obsessed with sunglasses right now

 Our cousins Jessica and James stopped by for a short visit.  We are due with our babies a couple weeks apart  (again!!)

It took a while to get them to stop staring at each other.
