Easter 2012

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Ours was great.  A friend gave us tickets to a local tennis tournament.  Avery and Tim went the first day. Then Tim and I had a date night for one of the night matches.  It was really fun.  Thanks Aunt Gina for babysitting!!
After tennis, we went home and spent some quality time with our family.  The Easter Bunny even found us there! Avery was too cute enjoying all the festivities.  Salem didn't seem to notice anything was going on, but I still think he had a good time.
Things have been rolling along. Avery is just as talkative as ever.  She tells jokes now and makes up silly rhymes.  It is such a joy to watch this little princess grow up.  Salem is getting bigger and bigger.  I think my arms should be a little more buff than they are from lugging him around! He's still not crawling yet but he is sooo close. He rocks back forth, gets to his knees, then belly flops. He can scoot backwards, though...

Tennis
Even Belle and Aurora visited the tournament.  Avery was thrilled!
Enjoying a mango slushy with Daddy. Avery loved watching the tennis. She even clapped and said, "Good point!". 
Date Night
We had pretty good seats. This is Jancovic.
Venus. She killed it out on the court, winning both sets easily. 
 The Island Easter Egg Hunt
So, Avery was nervous with all the people around & the dude screeching on the microphone.  Therefore, this is how she hunted eggs.
Poor Tim got a work out. 
We did get her in the vicinity of the Easter Bunny
