Avery has been a trooper the past few weeks with everything going on. I'm SO thrilled for her to be a big sister, and I know she loves her sister more than anything. Though part of me feels sad for her. Her whole world has just been rocked. With Harper coming a little early, and then back to the hospital for awhile, the poor thing has been bounced around here and there, and has handled it better than I could've ever imagined. Just one more reason why I love this girl so much. She just comes home each day and loves up her sister. She wants to do anything to help, or just play with her. It is my favorite thing to watch..their bond already growing.
Anyway, we have kept her in her routine, with pre-school and Lori's, and that seems to be helping a lot. She has so many friends at Lori's, it's fun for her to go see them each day. This year she started Rainbow Pre-school. She is loving it. She has wonderful teachers, and it's been great for her. She will go next year too, so this was kind of a bonus year. With me being home 6 months of the year though, we were able to sneak her in this year.
About a week after Harper was born, her class had their first field trip...to the Fire Station! They even got to ride the school bus. She was so looking forward to this trip. Since they weren't going far, and it was just a quick trip downtown, they didn't need any chaperones. They did invite any parents who wanted to come along, to meet them at the Fire Station. Since Cullen was still home that week, we took Mrs. Beth up on it, and Avery was so excited to see him down there! They got to tour the fire trucks, see their equipment, and learn about how to be safe in a fire. They even asked if anyone has ever held a tiny baby, and I guess he said you should've seen how quick her hand popped up! That's our proud big sister. Anyway, here are a few cell phone photos Cullen snapped while he was there. I've said it before, and I'll say it again..thank goodness for our cell phone cameras! Though not the best quality, they at least capture the moments for us!

The fireman trying on their equipment so the kids wouldn't be scared if they ever saw them..great idea!

Such a good listener! She's the little one on the left in the pink jacket :)
About a week after this field trip, she got to go on their first BIG field trip to the Lowry Nature Center! Mama was supposed to go as a chaperone, but with Harper coming early, and then being back in the NICU, it didn't work out, so Avery got an even better guest...Nana! They had a BLAST!!!!
