The Ordini's: July 2012

So another six months has come and gone and I can't even believe where the time has gone. Avery is now 9 months old and near walking unassisted!!!! Lord - that child is giving us a run for our money!! Kelsey will be 3 in September and is just the funniest little thing on two legs. Everyone always asks how Kelsey is doing with a little sister...and my response is always "Well - she hasn't tried to kill her yet!" I swear she will love this baby to death....she wants to hug and kiss her all the time! Truly - I tell myself - because she just loves Avery soooo much. But I know there are times her intent is questionnable! All kidding aside...the truly BEST time of my day is the drive home from daycare with the two of them in the back seat. Kelsey is always soooo excited when I come into her room to get her with Avery in tow...and she proudly says to any friend that tries to get near her "MY Avery!!!!" Then in the car ride...they literally just laugh at each other. Kelsey will make some funny sound or noise that will get Avery giggling and then Kelsey has her audience and she's off!!! It's only a 5 minute ride...but the best 5 minutes of my day!!

We are still in full potty training mode...and I won't bore you with the details....those of you who HAVE children know exactly what I'm going through...and those of you who don't...REEEEEAAAALY don't want to hear about it. Suffice it to say...not going as well as I'd like. But we march on.....

Avery and Kelsey have both transitioned into new classrooms at their daycare and it seems to be going well. Not much more to be said on that front.

A lot has happened in the passed six months...but as usual I will just let the pictures tell the story.
Love to all....

Avery just learning to crawl a few months back. Love that little face!!!

Kelsey - my little diva!!!

Daddy and his girlies on Easter

My sister, Kelly, came up for 2 weeks this summer with my nephews Max and Gavin. They stayed with us for half of the visit and Kelsey was in her glory with her cousins.

Max is such a good cousin to agree to get dressed up in fairy wings that are waaaay to small.

Avery was dedicated at church in June. Family picture. One of few..note to self take more shots with Mommy and Daddy in them.

While Kelly was here visiting, GC (aka my Mom) came over to help watch all four kids so Chuck and I could get out for the night.

Well the intention was good for an actual group shot of all the cousins. The result....HILARIOUS!!!! Truly one of my favorite shots of all of them...but Avery's face is priceless!!!

Day of Avery's dedication...took some group shots of Kelly and her boys which were all good...but this one TRULY gets their personalities out the best!!!
