Technical Difficulties

Jeez! My stupid, horrible old computer has been leaving me dumbfounded these past few weeks. I have been unable to reach my blogging account to give you more worthless details of my life! I'm sure you were all quite distraught at this abandonment. I apologize for leaving you all, no doubt causing tears of sorrow, rage and hopelessness.
Anyway, Pwee helped me sort out the problem. So here are some more specifics about what has been happening since my last post. For a while, I was struggling with what high school to go to. The choice was between T-wolves and UCAS (I don't know if they have a mascot...). After much deliberation, I decided to be a T-wolf.
Avalyn has been getting quite massive. She makes screeching noises and is rolling around everywhere. She occasionally looks ready to crawl. If you hold her hands and stand her up on an open space, she will walk. Pretty much all she needs is balance. And to stop randomly collapsing.
All the rest of us are well. Nothing else that exciting has been happening recently. So there is your update. You can dry your tears now.
By the way:

Av!!!!

I understand that it has been a while since I last posted to everyone. But now i would like to share some pics of Avalyn, who has at least doubled in size and
gotten 4 times chubbier.
These ones were on Christmas eve, as you can imagine.



Compare the two pictures above. She is at least 3 times chubbier. That was 2 months ago. Think how she must be now...

Hmmm...

Isn't this just a beautiful picture? It is just so nice and normal. Fudepwee drew this picture. If you would like to see more, go to the link on the side of this page that says Pwee's artwork or something like that.

Marley and Me

This is like the saddest books I've ever read, but it is so good! I just finished it tonight, and I haven't cried since my guinea pig died in seventh grade (testimony meeting doesn't count, it wasn't sad crying) and I pretty much soaked my pillow+ a bunch of tissues. I still like the book a lot, and it is a true story, which is different than most of the books I read, which are fantasy, or whatever. But you all should read it. My dad loves it too, so a lot of different people would like this book, maybe even animal haters...(in my head right now I'm glaring at my mom). So anyway, read it people!

Halloween

I know this is just a bit late, but halloween was awesome! I couldn't go trick-or-treating this year, but I did get to pass out candy to little kids. I sat out on the porch in a zombie costume (as seen in an earlier post) and pretended to be dead, and kids actually thought I was fake. I know I'm just so good at looking plastic, but still...
These two girls were standing in front of me debating wether or not I was real or fake. They were about 8 or 9, and seemed kind of bratty, so I chose them as my special victims. They were there for about 7 minutes, and after they had seen a few other people take some candy and get away unscathed, they finally just said "maybe we should just go get some candy." And without further ado, they stepped up onto the porch. They both had their hands in the bowl (which I had in my lap) when I jumped at them. They screamed like they were auditioning for a part in a horror movie, and jumped backward off the porch. It was great. Next year, I have plans for halloween...

Freakish Randomness

Theres a lot of meat on those bones, eh?

Auntie Em

Well, I'm officially an aunt now. My niece was born on September 20th at around 4:30 sometime. She was 6 lbs. 14 oz. and about 19 inches long. Her name is Avalyn Raye Turner. Pretty cool! Here are some pics of when we went to visit her and the parents in the morning. She seems to love people taking pictures of her.
Auntie Em and Avalyn.

Uncle Fudepee just looks ecstatic to have a niece.
Uncle Watty smiling and holding Avalyn.
Poor Mom. She had to have her naturally, 16 minutes after they got to the hospital.

Here's Dad and daughter!
