At the lake....

Kyler, Evan and Melissa spent the night with us at the lake on Friday night while Jayden and Kerry were at the Embassy Suites for Jayden's birthday party.  As always, the boys played with legos....

Phillip came up on Thursday so that he could haul the wood flooring for the new screened porch.  I had to teach Thursday night, so I drove up after class....left LR at 8:45!  I spent the day Friday with Miranda and Avery....I needed some cuddle time with little Miss Avery!

We had a good weekend hanging out in NWA.  I stopped by Pop Williams Elementary and had lunch with Evan and Kyler and then headed to Jayden's school to have lunch with him before heading back to Arkadelphia.

Boy time!

Phillip and I got to spend a little time with the Pitts boys this weekend!  They have been sick so much here lately, we haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with them.  We went over to their house on Saturday morning and brought Jayden and Evan back to the lake house with us (Kyler needed a little chillaxin time).  We had a great time.  They rode around on the new mule with Pop and Blu, then Jayden and I did a little cruising around the neighborhood on the mule - with Jayden driving!  And of course we played with legos..... We went to Barnes and Noble so the boys could get a book or two and they wanted to get some books for Avery (so sweet!).  We were having so much fun that they didn't want to go home....so they spent the night.  Loved having some time with my boys!  

Avery time!

Monday with Avery

Avery is one week old!

 That's enough picture-taking for Miss Avery!

First picture of all FOUR of my grandchildren !

Avery

Avery is home now and I am totally enjoying loving on this sweet thing.

I haven't posted about all of the initial excitement and I don't want to forget the details.....

I took a few pictures of Miranda right before Avery's birth in the nursery:

And then around 3:40 am, my phone blared like a foghorn and woke me up....I knew immediately that this was it!  I am so glad that Phillip and I were at the lakehouse when the call came so that we could be there quickly.  Melissa lives a little closer to the hospital so she beat us there.  As is usually the case, there was a lot of waiting....

And then a little before 5 pm the doctor decided that it was time that we meet baby Avery.

HERE THEY COME!  HERE COMES AVERY AND HER DADDY!

Fresh out of the oven :)

She wasn't very happy for the first half hour or so....the nurses just wouldn't leave her alone....

 The sisters checking her out....

Avery is home, sweet home.  I think she likes it!
