Summer's Graduation

She did it! Ben's sister, Summer, graduated from Mississippi State this weekend. So we travelled to Starkville to join in the celebration. We all went to the graduation ceremony Saturday morning. Then we headed back to the house for a big cookout. We were thrilled to get to spend some time with Ben's grandparents, aunt and uncle, two cousins and their families. This time we actually remembered to take some pictures of Avery with her great grandparents.

Avery was much fussier than normal all weekend. In fact, she was up every hour during the night Friday and Saturday. It was obvious that she was hurting but nothing seemed to soothe her. We suspected she might be teething based on the large amounts of drool and her tendency to stick things in her mouth. On the way home yesterday we stopped to change her diaper and let her get out of the car seat for a minute. And as she was screaming, we caught the first glimpse of a tooth trying to come in. It's teeny tiny, but it's definitely there. Thanks to Baby Orajel and some teething tablets, we were all able to get a little more sleep last night.

Great pictures. Did you get pictures from Avery's first piano recital? She wrote her own song, titled, "I love grandpa", and I must say it will become a classic. Hope to see you guys soon.
