Time for a change

We made the decision to change the blog host because we were having so many problems with our previous one.  I had a hard time actually posting and I know some of you had a hard time getting it to load, when it did load. So, I went back to a place where I know everything works and there's no issues.  I'll link the old blog in here somewhere so that you can always access it.  http://adorableavery.weebly.com/

We had a very busy three day weekend.  The three of us took a drive out to Wilmington on Friday.  The weather was too beautiful to stay indoors.  And if there's one way to guarantee Andrew will go out, it's the beach.  We stopped at the Wilmington Zoo, which too be honest wasn't much of a zoo.  It was ten acres with some animals but we had fun.  Really.  But it was a little sad because the animals were in smaller cages so that wasn't really cool.  But it was still good times.  And they had goats!!!  If you know me, you know I love goats.  I'd have 50 of them if Andrew would let me.

After that we went to visit our friend from high school, Brent and then grabbed some lunch on the beach.  It was really the most perfect day to be outside.  We really wanted to drive the truck out onto the beach but the winds were so rough that taking Avery out there wouldn't have been fun for her.  So we'll try that again later in the year.

On Saturday we headed over to my Aunt Linda and Uncle Todd's for a holiday BBQ.  I always look forward to going over there cause they're always good for a laugh.  It was the first chance for Avery to experience a family gathering of sorts and she was so amazing.  We didn't have any meltdowns or tears - the same for Friday in Wilmington.  We always say we're so lucky cause she's such a great baby.  We hardly ever have any issues with her and I don't think we've ever had an honest to God meltdown, at home or out in public.

Today we drove out to Pine Hurst to visit Andrew's Grandma Flo for Easter.  She lives in a retirement community on the golf course there and they do a big lunch every Easter Sunday that we go out for.  It was a nice way for us to get all dressed up and show Avery off.  All the old ladies there just loved her! She and Caiden (our nephew) were big hits.  Caiden actually spent a lot of time there while he was younger with Mimi so he's already pretty popular with the residents.

 Tomorrow is my first day back at work and I'm not happy.  I'm glad to be making money again finally but like I've said before, leaving Avery is going to be a killer.  It's especially going to be tougher cause she's been extra clingy to me the last few days.  Not that I'm complaining but I know it upsets Andrew when she won't calm down for him but instantly does when he hands her over to me.  And it breaks my heart for him cause he's so freaking amazing with her.  He's everything I want in a parenting partner and more.  He's so hands on and ready for whatever with her that I know it's only going to get better going forward.

No video posts of Avery this week.  We wanted to get some while at the beach but with the wind being the way it was it never happened.

Until next week....

Love
Meaghan, Andrew and Avery
