We're Moving!

It's official! We are moving to North Dakota in August. Brian's last day at Verizon is August 9th so we will be moving the 11th or 12th. I am surprised to say this, but I am so excited to start school. There is only so much hanging out at home that I can handle. I only have class for 2 hours a day, which works out great with Avery.

Avery started standing up last week on her own! A couple of weeks ago she couldn't even put weight on her legs, but now she is standing up unassisted. Not for very long of course, but it's a start. Boy, she is growing up fast!
Avery had to get her four month shots yesterday. They were scheduled a month ago, but she fell behind due to her head injury. She weighs 16lbs 10oz and is 26 inches long! Her pediatrician had her lying on the table while she checked Avery's arms and legs. Every time the doctor touched her Avery would just giggle and giggle. The doctor said she has never seen a baby with such personality! Avery's personality is definitely showing more and more every day.

Busy Busy June!


So, It's been over a month since I've posted, it feels just like yesterday! We have been so busy since our trip to North Dakota. At the beginning of June, we stayed at the lake house on Lake Travis. Avery had a little accident and was rushed to Dell Children's Hospital and was treated for a skull fracture. She was such a trooper and is doing great now! Here's a picture of Avery in the hospital with her new teddy bear.


Besides the hospital trip, we had a fun vacation. Avery got to go for her first boat ride and she slept the whole time. We had a couple interesting trips on the golf cart...one ending with Brian pushing it up a couple hills. The trip was really relaxing and much needed for everyone.

It was Brian's 1st Father's Day this year! He actually had the day off from work! We spent the day just hanging out and we went to Zamitti's with my dad and brother and The Hangover (which was hilarious).

Last week, we helped my mom and Will move into a new house in Eagle Springs. I guess my family decided that Brian and I didn't get enough packing and moving because my dad is now planning to move to the Woodlands within the next couple of weeks. Brian and I are also talking about moving back to North Dakota. He had a job interview at Verizon today and he said it went really well. I don't want to move out of this wonderful weather, but school is a priority for both of us and we NEED to finish! I will be sad not seeing my parents almost every day, but now Avery will get to spend some time with her other grandparents. I will keep ya'll updated on our plans! I hope everyone had a good 4th of July!

I updated our smug mug site with a couple of pictures...FINALLY. http://hotten.smugmug.com
