Until April

The older Avery gets, the more OCD I get. My poor family was so kind to me over the break and allowed me to question them at every turn. Anytime anyone went within 10 feet of Avery I asked them if they had washed their hands. Everyone knew the drill. Lauren was the enforcer when my parents were watching Avery. Thanks Woof!

Avery's pediatrician told us not to take Avery out in public until APRIL. No church, malls, grocery stores, or any public place were sick people might be. So, we decided to bless Avery at my parent's house instead of waiting 6 months to do it at church.

Josh gave a beautiful blessing. It was so nice to be surrounded by so many loving family members.

Getting ready!

We loved having you here and can't wait to see you again. Washing hands was a small price to pay to hold Avery. Josh did give a beautiful blessing and I'm glad we could be at our house for it. I love you guys!

I'm glad that you all were able to come up over Christmas. I was so worried that I wouldn't see Avery until the summer!(I'm only partially kidding.)

Love you!
