Avery Kate is ONE Year!

Wow, it's amazing to look back one year ago today. I was driving Madelyn and myself to the hospital six centimeters dilated, and we welcomed Avery less than two hours later.

Avery is so completely different from her sister, and it was apparent from the moment she was born. She is such a curious and adventurous baby. She is full of emotion and is most content being outside observing her surroundings. Hmmm, sounds like someone else I know . . .

I love you, Avery Kate Molletta - you are my sweetest baby!

Good Company

We are lucky enough to have grandparents who are healthy and willing to travel, which means Madelyn and Avery get to see their great grandparents on occasion.

Grandma Rita and Grandpa Joe made the trip from southern California recently, and we enjoyed every minute that we were able to spend with them. We're so thankful they came out - we only wish they lived closer!

Thoughts from Breakfast

I am the type of person who naturally stays busy. I actually have to stop and make myself slow down. Our weeks are filled with lunches, play dates and family time.

This week I decided to take the girls to breakfast, just me and them. I was reminded of two things that morning - First, that I can handle them at a restaurant by myself and second, everything my girls have to say is important. Although our conversations weren't very deep, I hope to consistently make this a priority. Because one day their lives will become a little more complicated and a lot more rich, and I want to be ready to listen to the little things in hopes that they will want me to listen to the big things.
