Ammy and Bamp with the Grandkids



We had a Trussell Family dinner on Sunday and it was so good to get together and visit with one another. The cousins got to play and Ammy and Bamp got to enjoy kids, and grand kids! These gatherings are only going to get louder and wilder! So exciting!



The boys!



Two happy babes!



Open Eyes!

Random Fun from the Past Week





Last Saturday night Trevor and I were able to watch some football. How? Well, we set up a cam pout in the living room. Trevor made a fire (Avery was thrilled, but disappointed we didn't have any marshmallows) Then we laid a blanket on the floor, set up the tent and got out her DVD. She was in heaven! Her favorite Barbie movie, a fire, and the whole family together!

Bonding with the baby brother.




Sleeping babies are so cute!



Dylan's first walk!

Pumpkin Carving





We had a blast carving our pumpkin Halloween afternoon! Avery got to feel the squishy pulpy inside of the pumpkin. We baked the seeds and got a nice treat. Avery picked two triangle eyes, a circle nose, and a mouth with one tooth. Daddy did the carving and it sat on the front porch for all of the trick or treaters to see.

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!
