A Week of Fun

We had quite a busy week! I had Monday off and we went over to Avery's house for a playdate! Jeffrey and Avery had fun playing while Kim and I enjoyed hanging out and just catching up on the babies' progress. Avery is 3 weeks older than Jeffrey. Like Jeffrey, she has a sibling in Heaven. Her big brother, Luke, and Olivia are definitely watching over their little sister and brother! We were brought to the Hill family through tragedy, but together we've made it through the hard times and now have the opportunity to celebrate all four of our babies! The Hill family is such a blessing to us! My little ongoing joke is that unfortunately Jeffrey and Avery will never get married because she would be Avery Avery! :) I think that was her Daddy's doings!!

Jeffrey's Meme and Papa spent a couple of days with him this week and he had SO much fun spending time with his great grandparents! They spoiled him rotten. I don't think Meme put him down once while she was here.

Ben's birthday is next week so I'm sure we'll have some birthday pictures to post soon. We hope everybody has a fabulous weekend!!


Avery and Jeffrey hanging out on the couch. Aren't their little matching outfits so cute?!



Okay, kids..We're getting a little too close! ;)

Snow Day!!

We had snow at our house on Saturday! I don't how long it's been since we've seen snow around here. I wanted to get some pictures of Jeffrey in the snow, but it was just me and him at the house so I couldn't get a picture. I did bundle him up and take him outside, however he wasn't to fond of the cold so we went back inside quickly! Just because Jeffrey didn't get to play in the snow didn't mean that Sadie and Lilly didn't get out there and have some fun! They were so funny out in the white stuff. Poor Lilly didn't know what to think of it all!


Sadie is taking it all in.


Poor Lilly needed a sweater!

A Few More Weekend Pictures

Elijah is sharing his chess secrets with Amy. :)


Amy doing the "Italian Lady" thing with Jeffrey. It involves taking the diaper off until he pees everywhere. I don't get it either, but it was hilarious to watch!

Nichole and Sweet Adeline hanging out at Cici & Pawpaw's.

Happy Birthday Uncle Randy! We surprised him with a cake at Mom & Dad's on Saturday afternoon.

Where Did the Weekend Go??

Is it already Monday?? We had a fantastic weekend with Jeffrey. He turned 10 weeks on Saturday and he's growing too fast. I'm about to tie a brick to the boy's head! He's been melting my heart with his precious smiles. However, I haven't been able to capture a smile on camera yet. I'm working on it and I promise I'll post a picture as soon as I get one!

To celebrate his 10-week b'day Ben & I took him to the Zoo. Jeffrey slept the whole time while Mom and Dad just enjoyed being out of the house. After our adventures at the Zoo we headed to the other "zoo" on Hwy. 119..aka: Cici & Pawpaw's house!! They had several friends over to watch the Packers game and our Wisconsin friends, the Flynns, grilled Bratwurst and introduced me to Kaukauna Cheddar Cheese! We all had a great time! I've never been a big NFL fan, but if I keep hanging around the Flynns on game day I'll soon be an honorary "Cheesehead!"



Jeffrey in his overallls! He wore this outfit to visit Daddy at work last weekend!


He loves haning out on his boppy.


Ahh..the hotsling! God's greatest invention!! Thanks Kate & Shannon for introducing me to this fabulous baby carrier. Jeffrey and I both love this thing! Plus, it's so cute!! I need one in every color!


Elijah the 3-year-old chess player. He's such a genius!!

Our Little Family.


The kids, Jeffrey, Elijah and Adeline. I love that Addy looks like she thinks Jeffrey is her baby doll, Jeffrey has a little smile on his face and Big Brother/Cousin Elijah is watching over them both. This will be a picture I'll cherish forever!

It's been awhile since our last update

First of all, I apologize for the lack of pictures lately, but the site isn't allowing me to upload images for some reason. I got lucky with the one below. I'm not sure what's going on. Anyway, Jeffrey is growing more and more everyday. We went to the doctor this past Friday for his two month check-up and he weighed in at a hefty 12 lbs! He's almost doubled his birthweight! Unfortunately Jeffrey had to get four shots at this visit. He screamed for awhile, but calmed down soon after. I was very proud of our little man.

I returned to the working world this past Wednesday. I've been at home since July so it wasn't easy going back. Luckily, my Mom is being nice enough to watch Jeffrey for several months, which has made the transition much easier. After being in the office for a couple of days I've found that it's kind of nice to be back to what I know. However, when I get home in the evenings I don't want to put Jeffrey down. We just hang out on the couch until it's time for bed.

In addition to returning to work this week I was finally able to return to my dance class. I haven't been able to get any real exercise since I found out I was pregnant in April, so needless to say I was a bit out of shape. My class wore me out after about 10 minutes, but I loved every second. It's great to be back in my dancin' shoes again. :)

So life at the Avery house is slowly but surely getting back to a new normal. Life has never been better!



Jeffrey enjoys hanging out on his changing table that's attached to the pack-n-play. I'm not sure why, but it makes him happy.
