The times seems to fly by and Avery is growing up so fast! We are still working on the whole potty training thing...she is so stubborn! I think that is the German Wildauer blood in her. She knows exactly what to do and when to do it but some days she wants to wear big girl panties and some days she says I'll just wear a diaper I don't feel like going potty today. Oh well we'll just go at her pace I guess. We have been watching my niece Katie this week and they are having a great time playing. I take Katie to pre-school in the afternoons and all Avery talks about is going to school with her. If she only knew her time will come soon enough. We are still having great weather and take nightly walks with the dogs Andy and I each take one of the beasts and Avery walks her little toy snoopy dog. Andy and Avery are loving the football season, Avery has almost memorized the Notre Dame fight song or as Avery calls them Motre Dame. That's it for now we love you all!

Hi family and friends! We have decided to create a family blog so all our nearest and dearest can keep up with the goings on of the Wildauer clan. I will update content and photos on a weekly basis so make sure to check back periodically.
We are busy busy this time of year with all the college football and beautiful fall weather. Avery is keeping us on our "toes". We spend much of our time playing and going for walks outside. She asks everyday if she can go to school, I don't think she is quite ready yet but she is excited about it. We are working on potty training her and she is not liking it much, we may put it on the back burner for now until she seems more interested. It is tough!
Andy is still working for Morgan Stanley in the writing department. He is enjoying for the most part and is studying to take the Series 7 General Securities Exam. It is a long process and an even longer test (8 hours I think). He is working very hard and should take the exam at the end of the month. He is loving Notre Dame Football season so far and has even got Avery in on the hype as they both put out the Notre Dame flag on Saturday mornings, play the fight song, watch clips of the movie "Rudy", and both put on their Notre Dame shirts. Avery is not that interested in watching the game just all the hoopla surrounding it and eating the snacks of course.
I have started working part time at a children's clothing store and so far have been enjoying it. I work a few evenings a week and a few hours on Saturdays. The girls I work with are fun and most of them have children. I have held back and only bought Avery a few things (that she really needed!). I am sure I will be sending "care packages" to my cute godson Jack full of great deals that I come across at the store. They have such cute boy things.
We hope all are doing well and enjoying this beautiful season we will be getting ready for Halloween; decortating and making costumes I hope this year we can talk Andy into dressing up with us. Avery is still talking about last halloween I hope she has as much fun this year as she did last.
