It's been a while since I have posted or even read others posts. Tonight, I finally decided to catch up. I have LOVED reading all about those I care about. I forgot how great blogs are at helping you feel close to those you may not talk to on a regular basis or in my case those people that live so far away. It has inspired me to do a better job blogging. I'm hopeful that as I post little glimpses of our life it can help all of my family in North Carolina feel close to us even though we are miles away.

Just to catch up a little. Avanna was born December 3rd 2011 and has been the sweetest baby. We love her! Most of all I love to see her and Adalea together. I'll have to say transitioning to 2 kids has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. I finally feel like I'm getting the hang of it though. We are getting into our routine...Adalea is learning that she can't ride on her sister's back like she does her Dady's and lots of other important things to keep Avanna safe :) She is actually a huge help now. She loves helping with diaper changes and as you'll see in the picture she likes to feed Avanna. I'm suprised at how well she does it.

I feel so blessed. I love my family so much. It doesn't really matter what we are doing. Most recently we went to the zoo. Another fun thing we did was go to IHop. Every time Eric see's an IHOP he always wants to go, so finally a couple of weekend ago we went. We were amazed. Toys for kids to play with, the fastest service ever, and kids eat free.

Avanna just a week ago. She is 6 months old.
