Time for an update!

It has been quite awhile since I have posted. We have been really busy and Tim has been working a ton of overtime. I finally found some quiet time to sit down and download pictures and blog!


Grace is really liking preschool. She loves her teachers and has made new friends! Here is her first day of school pictures.












Avery started on solids last week and loves them, but is still getting the hang of how to eat! The Dr. said we should start on them since she was eating every 3 hours and still was hungry. This is her first time eating.




Grace loves to help mommy!







Halle, Avery and I are adjusting to Grace being at school. I can tell Halle enjoys time with me and her little sister. Avery wanted to watch Halle color!







And lastly, my Grandma's birthday was on September 30th. No one in the family had been to the cemetery to see the grave. The tombstone had just been installed and my uncle thought it would be a good idea to take my Grandpa out there on her birthday. We had a little memorial service where we shared memories of Grandma. I was glad we were able to be there with my Grandpa. It was hard to be there and it made me miss her more. I decided before I went that I wanted to bring a flower. I did some research and wanted to find a flower that meant "circle of life" or the meaning of her name and Avery's middle name. Margaret means pearl. I went to the flower store and after talking with the lady, we decided to get one carnation and include pearls in it. We put 3 groupings of the pearls in with the carnation. Avery and I headed off to the memorial service with our little carnation. I was glad Avery could be there with us. I decided to take the pearls out when we left. I plan on giving them to each of the girls as a remembrance of their Great-grandma. How special it could be to include those pearls in their weddings.
