First Trip

Dear Avary Elle,

For your first big trip, we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Boise. We were so nervous about flying with you but you did sooo well. The flight attendants kept mentioning to us that you were the best baby they have ever had on a flight. You barely made a peep. When we got to Boise, Grandma and Grandpa bought you a car seat, and you looked so tiny in it! While we were there we went shopping, played ping pong, and everyone spoiled you. Grandpa loves to feed you bottles... because he is a big nerd. We had so much fun, and everyone was sad when we had to go home.

Avary's Blessing

Dear Avary Elle,

We had your blessing just recently, and we had family come in town for it. We had Grandma and Grandpa Bertoch, plus all your aunties and uncles from the Bertoch side, Dylan, Kelsey, Josh and Abbey. Plus Gramma Jamma came, as well as Grandpa Beckstrom and aunt Suzanne. Not to mention our wonderful friends the Bolins and Stotts came as well! To bad your mother was late to church and almost missed your big day! Thats what I get to be the last one to shower! But I made it just in time. Thank HEAVEN! Daddy gave you the blessing and it was very special. We love you so much and you were so beautiful on your special day!
