First trip away from the girls

On August 15th, we left you home to make a trip to the Dominican Republic for the wedding of one of your daddy's best college buddies, Dave.  He was the best man in our wedding and Dave asked your daddy to be the best man in his too.  I will tell you that it was insanely difficult leaving you home but we knew that the trip wouldn't be what it was meant to be if the two of you tagged along (and I really mean tag along - you would have enjoyed the swimming pool but not much else and you definitely wouldn't remember the trip when you got older).  We had a great time but missed you both dearly.  There was a little girl on the trip named Olivia that reminded us so much of Avery.  You would think that would be more comforting but it actually made your mommy a little home sick.

Your Grandma Melodie (bless her heart!) stayed home with you while we were gone and you spent one day with Sam, Tina, Simon and Talia when we were able to FaceTime you.
