Downtime

Well, it has been three weeks since Avely arrived and things have been going very well. Jer breezed through his finals (he won't tell you he aced them but I know he did). My sister Becky was here for a week and helped us out sooo much! Then Grandma Peggy was here the following week to help us and see her newest grand baby. A HUGE thank you to both of you for your kind service. You made this go so smoothly for our family! Now, Jer is done with school (for now) and we have a few weeks to kill before the internship. We are excited to have some downtime to catch up on life and enjoy sometime together. (I just wish the weather would shape up so we could enjoy that too. It is in the 40's today and I am FREEZING!) Here are some random pictures of the last three weeks:

Day 2: Momma and her girls...(I know I look fabulous but it is our first picture all together so I had to post it.)

Time to go home

Welcome home!

Kayla and her best friend, Aunt Becky

So tiny!

5 days old and off to the doctor's office

Becky and Kayla read books, colored, played picnic and pretend, went to the park, danced...while I slept :)

One afternoon during Kayla's nap, Becky and I bathed Avely and dressed her up for her one week photo shoot. It was fun and the pictures turned out well too.

Grandma Peggy was so kind to help get our yard looking decent; Kayla loved playing in the dirt. Here she is holding it out saying "Look Mommy, DIRT!" (Why do we buy toys, we have dirt!)

Kayla in her white Sunday shoes dancing in the kitchen...still a little ham bone!
