Avritt's Birthday

Avritt had a fun Star Wars themed birthday party this year. He turned seven this year on May 15th. Mike is quite a Star Wars fan and it seems to have rubbed off on the rest of the family. Avritt had four friends over and the favorite party game was "Keep-the-balloon-off-the-floor-with-lightsabers." Avritt's favorite things to do are build models with Legos (he meticulously follows instructions). He has built the couple of Star Wars sets and is now working on an airplane model, the FX-3701 Striker (thanks Aunt Amber and Uncle Devin!). He also likes to dress up with his new Darth Vader costume (Emily gave him that) and, thanks to his asthmatic dad, already has a convincing Darth breathing sound.

A Way to Keep in Touch

Hello all! After a friend of mine started a weblog for her family and friends, I decided that it would be a valuable thing to do. With so many of you far away, this will be a way to communicate and keep you updated about the events ... on Ambrose Pond.
