Alesha took Avery to Build-a-Bear the other day... she had been begging to go and has been a very good girl, so we thought, why not? She picked out a brown teddy bear and decid
ed that it was a boy. She told the Build-a-Bear lady that she wanted to name him Andrew - guess all those talks about her new brother are starting to sink in! Alesha decided to buy baby Andrew an outfit to match Bear Andrew's... you'll have to wait a couple of months for that picture!On Friday night, we went to our first ever minor league baseball game, to watch the Grand Prairie Air Hogs... yes, the Air Hogs! We still have no idea what an Air Hog actually is though... feel free to enlighten us if you happen to know! Kenny's employer is a corporate sponsor, so a few of his co-workers decided to go and bring the families as well... so Alesha and Avery finally got to meet everyone. When we got there, Avery immediately jumped into the lap of Kenny's boss, like she'd known him for years - how's that for a good first impression? We didn't even pay her! :)
Saturday was a fun day... we were in the mood for some 'back-home' cooking, so we drove up to Lewisville to the nearest Raising Cane's. There are a whopping two Cane's locations in the entire DFW Metroplex and they are not exactly right around the corner, so it is somewhat of a treat. We decided to bring Andrew (the bear) with us, but wound up forgetting him in the van during 100-degre
e Dallas heat. P
oor Andrew... hope this is not a foreshadowing of things to come! (ha ha). Later that afternoon, we went swimming in our apartment pool for the first time. Kenny and Alesha got a tad sunburned
(especially Alesha!), but Avery just turned tan. She must get that from her daddy!In other news... Alesha read "The Shack" in one day! Highly recommended! We had heard a lot about it, but didn't realize just how great it was. Also, you can see some pictures of our apartment here... it's hard to believe we've been here three weeks already!

Oh my gosh!!! I absolutely LOVE the shack!!! I've already read it twice. It is unbelievably incredible. I bought my sisters each a copy and they're reading it for a 2nd time as well. I love the quote, "He is especially fond of you."
