POOR AVERY!

Well, it has finally happened, one of the girls needed stitches and it wasn't who we thought would be first! I really thought Rylee would break a bone with how wild she can be but Avery beat her to the emergency room. Avery has now learned that the couch is NOT for jumping and the coffee table isn't made of rubber. Yesterday morning the girls were playing in the living room while I was cutting veggies for a salad. The plan was to finish the salad, get a shower and then spend the rest of the morning at the museum followed by lunch at Wendy's. I was in the kitchen and heard a thump (not uncommon in this house) followed by Avery crying and Rylee screaming "Blood, blood everywhere!". I ran into the living room to find Avery covered in blood with it dripping onto the carpet. I grabbed her and tried to clean her up but she was bleeding too bad so I called Dale at work, he made it home in ten minutes and I grabbed Avery and headed for the emergency room. Needless to say, three stitches later she is all better. I ran out last night and got her some cool Elmo band-aids, I figured if she has to keep it covered for the rest of the week she might as well look cute! Anyway, the stitches come out on Friday as long as everything looks good. Well, that's our update for now, we never did get to the museum, hopefully we'll get there next week!

Spring is here!!

Ugh, after many teases along the way our warm weather is finally here and the girls are LOVING it!! Avery now looks at the back door and yells "out" every time she wants to go out to the sandbox. She also loves taking wagon rides and will even push the wagon around herself if needed. We went to the playground on Friday for the first time this year and they had so much fun. Avery loves just running around in the grass while Rylee makes friends with anyone who is there. Avery's newest words are "fish", "dog" and "eye-eye", which is actually Ry-Ry (short for Rylee). She's getting an attitude and has started pushing Rylee back when they fight. I think Rylee is in for it soon, she has been the boss up until now but that's about to change! Rylee is doing great in swimming, they taught her how to dive off of the side of the pool and the teachers are trying to get her to swim butterfly now! It's kind of funny, the same people who taught me how to swim are now teaching her so I know that she's in good hands. Well, that's the update for now. I think we are going to head to the museum tomorrow, it's going to be close to 80 so I'm sure we'll be outside most of the day! I'll try to take pictures so I can send some new ones out. Dale keeps bugging me because he needs new picture for his office but I never remember to take the camera when we go out. Have a good week and enjoy the weather, I know we will!!
