3, count them 3. ah ah ah.

Christmas and 3 month birthday all at the same time. Avery was actually sleeping while we were opening presents. It was all too overwhelming for her, so many presents and all, so she needed a nap. My point is, there are no pictures of her actually opening anything. So here are some pictures of her in her christmas dress from Grandma Ollig as well as some of her 3 month pictures.





The color on this on isn't so great. I tried to fix it but didn't have much luck. We ended up looking more like robots...which wouldn't be all bad I guess.



I did the math wrong,(I know, weird huh) I thought this was Avery at 14 weeks but shes only 13 weeks. Oh well, I guess we just get to do week 14 twice!



This is one of my favorites. Her hair really looks red in these photo's too.



and of coarse...

12 weeks

Just when we thought weekends seemed really short. They got shorter. I think we should be allowed to take 3 day weekends every week. I'd be cool with a 32 hour work week.


And, just when I thought my baby couldn't get any cuter!

11 Weeks and a Tree

So we finally got the tree up and everyone is excited. Especially baby's that like to stare at lights and cats that like to smack hangy, jingly things. So we are officially part of the holiday season now.

Aside from all that, if anyone ever has considered trying to tear their thumbnail off with a football don't bother, It's no fun and it doesn't work very well. That's all I will say about that. Except for the fact that I threw TWO touchdown passes AFTER the incident!

Erin finished up the annual holiday newsletter tonight and it's a mighty fine one. So if we have your mailing address then you might just be lucky enough to get one in the next few weeks. If not, we lost your address...yeah, that's the ticket.

That's about it for the wordy part of this post. Time for the pictures. Enjoy.

A Visit North

Now that we're home we are getting back into the routine. Erin's leave is about up so we're gearing up for Avery's first trip to the "Manny's" (Cap'n Steve). I think everyone is very excited to get started with "things" again. Even though some of us complain a little about having to go back to work I think some of us are also ready to go back.

Here are some of the people we visited while we were there.



Avery loved meeting her Great Grandma.



And Grandma and her had a lot to talk about.



Ok so there are a lot of other people that she met while we were there but the pictures of them are on our other camera. So you'll just have to wait to see those. In the mean time Ill just post a few fun pics of the little lady.

First, the Kansas division of "Team Ollig"


Here is someone a few hours after her first round of shots. No fun, that's for sure.


Just a cute face.


And lets just say...I had nothin to do with this!
