Our visit with Avry

This past Tuesday we drove to sister Sarah's house for a visit.

To maximize our time with new baby Avry

and since it is such a long tiring drive, we opted

to spend the night. We had a lovely time

visiting with Sarah and Aaron, their 4 dogs (small dogs) and

lil Avry. He's such a sweet addition to their

family.

He's such a strong baby too! When I held him he would just wiggle

all over and arch his back. His head was all over as if he were

looking around.

I was a bit worried how the girls would sleep, especially Ellie. We set up

camp in Avry's room. Ellie slept in his crib all night! Only

woke once and went back to sleep it was a great

relief. I didn't sleep much though. My other child is quite a squirmer..

she as all over the place. We slept on a blow

up bed and she was right in the middle of it all night..as was I. We were like two

peas in a tiny pod. Although I didn't sleep much

it was rather nice to get some cuddle time

with her. Even if she didnt realize it.

The next day I took the kids to the store to get some cooking supplies.

It's so great to have someone cook for you when changes in life happen..

The first couple of weeks after having a child are so hard.

So we got supplies to make baked macaroni and cheese

and cheesy ham and potatoes. Oh and a box

of brownie mix, the best part!

It was a great trip. Not sure if Sarah and Aaron enjoyed all the

noice for a day and a half but, we sure loved being there.

Isabella was so excited to see her

new cousin from her favorite aunt. And couldn't

wait to hold him, as seen in the picture above.
