Merry Christmas

It's been a busy few weeks preparing for Avery's first Christmas and my first days back at work. Thankfully I'm able to ease my way back into work a few days a week. I started back on Tuesday December 16th and will work a few days a week until the first week in January when I will resume working Monday - Thursday.

We are blessed to have both grandmothers willing and able to watch Avery while I work- so she will be spending two days a week with Reed's Mom, two days a week with my Mom and Fridays home with me. Last week she spent a day at each grandma's house, and did wonderfully- I think that I shed more tears then she did.

Avery is growing and thriving and has become quite the little attention-getter. Everywhere we take her we see people smiling at her and commenting on how cute she is. And usually she is happy to smile and talk with anyone.

We have been home for a few days, and are working on getting into a routine. Avery is doing well- and is eating with a very healthy appetite. I am healing and feeling better every day, especially thanks to my pain medication. It's amazing how much you can love someone you've just met.

Here are some more pictures of Avery from the past couple of days.
