Off to a great start,

because of YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thank you SO much Grammy Tina & Grampa Bruce!


We were so lucky to have unbelievable help for the past two weeks from Grammy and Grampa! I can't tell you how spoiled I feel! Our house is in the best shape it has been since we moved in three years ago. The yard looks fabulous, the garage is in mint condition, and we have the two cleanest cars in all of Georgia. Three coats of wax each, they look brand new! Did I mention we have clean windows too??? It feels so good!

I was able to make lots of time to play with Avery too! We had trips to the playground and lots of Mommy and me play time. Daddy and I even took her out on a date to the Hibachi steakhouse. We had a great night even though the chef scared her a little bit.

Avery got her flu mist. Trevor and I each got our flu shots too! Trevor and Grampa were able to squeeze in a day of golf. The list of things we were able to accomplish is way too long to squeeze into the blog post. However, you must know that I can now feel comfortable locked in the house for a few weeks while we adjust to real life.

Grammy helped me so much with little Dylan. She helped me to keep my composure at this crazy hormonal time. She reassured me when I was doubting myself about mommy things. She changed poopy diapers, gave baths, and lots of love to all of us! I can't tell you in words how wonderful these past two weeks were! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for EVERYTHING!!! We love you both so much and are grateful for all of your help! We couldn't have done it without you! We will miss you over Thanksgiving. But, we can't wait to see you in December!








Big Sis/Little Brother

Just a few cute shots of my two little loves! Trevor and I look forward to watching them grow up together! It is so neat to finally see them together.





Introductions







Dylan meets more of his family. Dylan met his cousin Truss for the first time when they were about a week old. Truss was wide awake and ready to play while Dylan was a tad sleepy. He also got to meet Aunt Tally and Uncle Jake.





Dylan meets Auntie Tricia and Uncle Kyle. Oops...I didn't snap a picture of the two guys. Next time!



Dylan also got to meet Ammy. However, I also forgot to document this fabulous occasion too! (let's blame it on my hormones and scatterbrainess) I promise to take lots of pictures the next time they play together!

Trick or Treat



Just after dark we took Avery out to trick or treat for the second time. She got it this year! She was a little shy at first, but caught on quickly. The only problem was she wanted to eat the candy right after she got it. We talked her into moving on to the next house and actually got her bucket filled with candy. Halloween was a success!

Reunited at last!



Avery was able to come home today and meet her little brother. We are so thrilled to have our little girl home! She isn't quite 100% but she is making a comeback. Avery held Dylan for a minute and peeked at him a few times. For the most part, she wasn't extremely into him but she was a little curious. We shall keep you posted how the adjustment goes. We are just so glad to have our two babies home! Trevor and I feel very blessed!



Dylan's First Day Home



We had a wonderful first day at home with Dylan. He was spoiled silly by his Grammy and Grampa Atkinson. We all held him and loved on him the entire day. Grammy gave Dylan his first bath. Of course, he screamed through most of it but was so clean and adorable afterward. In time he will learn to love those chilly things. He slept most of the day and Trevor and I paid for that during the night. We were up pretty much all night long. He is a night owl right now. Hopefully we can transition him to be awake during the day. Any ideas????
