OK seriously. Where does she get this? Here's Avery modeling her PJ's tonight. Some supermodels have "Blue Steel." Avery has "The Squat" and "Statue of Liberty."
Pardon the video quality; this one's courtesy of Auntie Amy's phone:

Hula Girls
It's been a couple weeks since we got back from our trip to Hawaii to celebrate Uncle Paul's 60th birthday. It's not likely either of our girls will remember much about the trip, but I will.
I'll remember being so tired when we got there, and the girls both crashing immediately, their little time clocks three hours ahead. Michael and I deciding to order pizza and spend the evening in watching TV, and how we laughed that we had come all the way to Hawaii for that.
I'll remember sitting on the sand at Hanauma Bay with Chloe beside me, watching Amy and Michael and Avery splash in the water. How it started raining, driving other sunbathers off the beach. How Michael and I gave each other the "OK" sign, knowing the shower would last only a couple minutes and we'd have a nearly empty beach to enjoy once the sun came back.
I'll remember driving to Uncle Paul's beach property and Amanda yelling "Turtle on the beach!!!" before we were even out of the car. How we all rushed to the sand and stared at the huge sea turtle sunning himself on the empty beach. How we snuck over to the neighbor's house when we were done and rinsed off a naked Avery with the garden hose while she squealed with delight.
I'll remember getting up with the sun and going down to the unit my mom and Susie were staying in, enjoying coffee and making plans for the day. How Avery fell in love with Susie, and how that reminded me of myself as a little girl.
I'll remember the party, and how I spent much of it with a fussy Chloe in my arms, walking outside on the deck. How I got to watch the waves and the boats and the sunset with her while the party went on behind us, and how I couldn't have been happier at that moment.

It was an awesome trip, and I'm just now getting through all the pictures we took. Here are a few of my favorites.
