Hooray for Avery. Today was the second week that Avery didn't have a melt down when going to nursery. What a great accomplishment for her. Last week she kind of whined a little bit, but this week she was actually excited about it. She pointed her teachers out in church, when she sees a kid that goes to nursery with her she says that's my friend, when the intermediate song started she asked if it was time to go to nursery and then finally when it was time she was so excited to go and play with her friends. I am so proud of her. We knew the day would come, but I thought is was farther away than that. She still makes sure that I am going to come and get her later, but she is now a happy nursery goer.
On another note I am glad to say that Dave's and my mini seperation is going well. I say that because with our new schedules this fall we don't get to see much of each other. Due to some changes in regulations Dave is now a part time student at EAC. He is taking two night classes which have him gone Mon-Wed. night. Monday he gets home at a decent hour, but Tuesday and Wednesday he doesn't get home until 9:00 or so. Then on Thursday I have my night out which is a scrapbooking class through the college and I am gone until 9:30. I also am taking wellness so I get up around 5:30 to go work out. I guess we are really lucky that Dave works from home and we can see him periodically throughout the day. Otherwise I would pretty much be a single parent. Something I am not too keen at trying. But this week went pretty smoothly, the kids actually seemed to be on their best behavior.
It does help to have Lori around though. I don't know if I have ever mentioned that she is living with us. She is working at Pollock's Western Wear at the moment, but she just had a interview to be a receptionist at a Veterinary Clinic here in town. She hopes to hear more about that on Monday. It will be a nice pay raise, and the hours will be Mon-Fri 8-5, you can't beat that.
Emmabelle is doing well. She is getting stronger by the day and is holding herself up really well. Today I was taking pictures of her and I sat her up on the bed with a pillow behind her and she actually stayed sitting for a fair amount of time. I don't think it will be much longer and she will be sitting on her own. It is her favorite position after all. We did have to take her to the doctor this past week. She was having some digestive problems. She is doing somewhat better, but we are still waiting for her to regulate more. She did weigh in at a nice 12 lbs. 7 oz.
Well I guess I have droned on for long enough. Here are a few more cute pictures of the girls. I just love to take pictures of them and I am determined that Emmabelle have plenty of pictures being the second child and all.
Emmabelle just chillin on the floor.
Avery has to get in on the action too.
Avery likes to wear all my church shoes, I finally got a picture.
Emmabelle 3 1/2 months.
Avery at 3 1/2 months
Avery 6 months. 
I just thought you might enjoy seeing the similarities and differences of the girls.

1. That little yellow dress is adorable!
2. I love that you're trying hard to get pics of Emmabelle so she's not outshined being the second one an all (I am second, if you remember, so I cheer for numero dos).
3. Yay for an independent toddler. It's nice that she'll be happy to go to nursery- instead of kicking and screaming and making you worry. Good girl. :)
So glad that Avery loves nursery now. That will make church so much more enjoyable for you! I need to call you about the workin out thing. I've been trying to get myself excited for a 6 a.m. class, but if you remember me and mornings...you know I need some more encouragement!
