ONLINE- Update

Ok. . . I am so happy to FINALLY have internet at our house. Andrew and I have gone an entire year without it. I should 't say we didn't have it because sometimes we could get internet on the corner of the bed or the corner of the coffee table. We were receiving someone else's wireless signal, but it didn't work very well. I want to take sometime to catch everyone up on our lives . . .
1. There was a scare at thanksgiving when Avery thought she wanted to come out early!

2. Then came Christmas, a wonderful holiday that we spent with our families.

3. My younger sister Corrie got married on January 6, 2007. My sister Jess and her husband josh and their three kids came in from Michigan and my brother J and his wife Cheryl cam in from Virginia. It was a great week, but being 8 months pregant in a bridemaid dress was not the most flattering look for me, But I was HAPPY!

4. January 26, 2007 AVERY NOELLE was born at 11:56 am! She weighed 6 pounds 11 oz. and was 19 3/4 inches long! She came out after 66 hours of labor. That was a LONG time. I wanted to have her naturally, but after not sleeping for 3 days and then getting petocin, at hour 62 I got the epidual. I slept for 3 hours and then pushed for 50 minutes and then out popped Avery. Here is a slip show to show you how she has grown over the last 4 months . . .enjoy

This is her friend Logan. . .my friend Stacie had Logan 4 weeks after Avery was born. . .I just love their t-shirts. his says (I dig my MOM)


Hey - look at me I found my feet.

We have done a lot with Avery. . . we went to Michigan for Easter, then to Virginia to visit Uncle J and Aunt Cheryl! We love to show her off! She is growing too fast. . .she can roll both directions - all the way across the floor. Gone are the days of leaving her sleep on the sofa while I get thing done. Well, I just wanted to give you an update. I will return to write more later!
