Avery is now over 11 months old! As I have said before, where has the time gone?! Seems like just the other day, we were calling up Chrystelle frantic (since she was not answering) to come and stay with Gabrielle at our house at 2 in the morning! Jake asking me, "Do you really think it is time to go, I do not want to get there and they send us home. Lets see how close the contractions are........oh a minute....i guess maybe we should go!" And we were off, him and I driving downtown Sioux Falls at 2am ...which happens never! Later that morning we would welcome Avery into our lives! And what a joy she has been (no really seriously!). She is just a great little kid and as my Dad called me when I was born "a ham". Next month, we will be celebrating her 1st Birthday and Gabrielle's 5th Birthday! So we are getting everything in line for that! Can not wait to see family and friends! And see my girls with cake all over them!

Gabrielle is in T ball (they still have not met since it was rained out last week). Hope this Monday works for the kiddos! They will get together from 10am-1030am every Monday and Wednesday! There are a lot of kids from her Preschool in it so she is very excited! Next month, she will be starting swimming lessons also! Can not wait for this either! She is pretty excited!

I hope to see you all in about 1 month for the birthday party! It is really fun to see everyone and celebrate such special moments together!
