The great catch up!

Okay, let me start off by saying, thank goodness for high speed Internet. Up until now, all we could get where we lived was dial up. High speed just came available in our area. Having dial up was the reason I have not kept up my blog as well as I should have been doing. Now that we are up and running on high speed, I can keep it up better.

Josh moved back to Michigan the weekend before we had Avery. He found a job at General RV in Wayland as a Business/Finance Manager. We are all happy to be under one roof again.

Adrienne has been busy with girl scouts. Her troop sold over 1000 boxes of cookies, and get to go on a bunch of trips because of it. They will be going to the Air Zoo, KVCC Museum, Bounce land, Michigan Adventure, and on a camping trip. She also has been busy with Battle of the Books. She is on a team of six girls. They have to read 12 chapter books ranging in level from 3rd to 5th grade. The first weekend of February they have a competition against other teams. They have to answer questions about facts from the books as well as authors and illustrators. She will be going to a softball clinic next month to get ready for softball this summer. And lastly, she is going to Florida with my parents for a week in March. Can anyone say spoiled? They will be visiting my grandparents, and going to Disney World. She is beyond excited, and has been trying to earn money from chores so that she has spending money.

Adisynne has developed the greatest personality. Most of the time she is the happiest little girl ever. She still likes to steal bottles but otherwise does not mind having a new "baby" in the house. She is starting to say more words, but "MOM" is defiantly her favorite word. She loves playing with books and her baby dolls. I know this is kind of early, but we have already started putting her on the potty. If you ask her if she has to go potty on the potty like a big girl, she will run into the bathroom. If you ask her if she needs a diaper change she hold her bottom and will shake her head yes or no. I don't think that she will be potty trained for a while, but she is interested in it, so we are encouraging it.

Avery has been a nice addition to our family. While our lives are a lot more hectic with three children, I think we are handling it pretty well.

Lastly, we got our dog Sophie back from Josh's brother. Sophie went to live with them when we went to St. Louis. She has been sleeping every night with Adrienne in her bed. They are so cute together.
