Named after our first son, Zealand Skye, this blog is dedicated to the lives of our two children, Zealand and Avery. We strive for many adventures together as a family of four by the sea, land, and sky.

Dear Avery at 21 months,
Dear Avery,
Here you are at 21 months with Baby Sage. You delighted in her company and were very loving. Someday when you and Sage are big and strong we will take you both on a mommy/daughter backpack in the Sierras. I expect that we will have many family adventures together with Baby Sage. It will be so fun to see your friendships develop as you get older. Right now your best friend is Zealand and by extension all of his friends.
You and Zealand are in a real sweet spot right now. Somehow the competition for mama has lessened, (not completely, but mainly) and you are now at an age where you can do lots of the same things your brother can do.
You love, love, love the water. I have said it before, but you really can't get enough. Although Zealand manages to control the hose most of the time you wait at the edges for any splashes or fun you can take.
You love romping around the backyard with Zealand, especially when the weather is nice. Really, you are up for just about anything anytime, especially if it involves Zealand.
This month your Auntie Annika visited us and you enjoyed that very much. You called her "Auntie Auntakata" while she was here and for a few weeks after. Annika carried you on a hike we all did in the Walnut Creek open space. Both you and your brother have a special connection with her even though she lives far away.
You warm up to people fairly quickly. You will crawl into a lap of your mama's friends and put up your arms to be held by people we know. You have a very trusting and loving relationship to the world so far. And, you are an ace with people's names. You don't forget. You know all of our neighbors by name and you remember the names of everyone in a family. It is very impressive.
Simply put, you are a sweet, sweet girl. And we are all very lucky to have you in our lives.
We love you Avy!
Mama
