an update on Avery...and those 2 other people that live with her

Avery had her 3 month check up yesterday. She weighed in at 8lbs 15oz. Triple her birth weight! Way to go, A. Everything else went well, too. The doc said she is doing great and progressing wonderfully! She did get a few shots, however. and of course, that always just breaks our hearts. But, she handled it like a champ and mommy was there to comfort her. Too bad babies don't get a lollipop after they get a shot - can't they come up with something we can coat a pacifier with, you know, as a reward for being such a brave little girl??

Okay, so, I was told by someone that while we are doing a great job updating this blog with details of Avery, it would be good every now and then to tell people about her parents too!

So...we had a week of good news, actually. Josh got a commercial gig. Yay! It is for the USGA (United States Golf Association). So, how happy is he? He gets to combine 2 of his favorite things...acting and golf. So what that he had to get up at 6am this morning and drive to Tarzana (in the valley) to a country club to shoot a commercial. He was pumped! So, we were so happy for that great news.

Also...as I'm due back at work at Angel Flight soon, I asked them if I could transition to part time, working out of my home. And praise the Lord, they said yes! I will be able to work from home, while taking care of Avery, and not pay for child care! What an answer to prayer...God has provided for us in so many ways!

I love all the updates on Avery! It's so crazy that she is just now the size of lots of babies at birth! What a sweet little munchkin! Thanks for the update on you two too! Tell Josh congrats on the commercial! Will it be aired in Ohio? Also, how great that you get to work part-time from home?! So happy for you! I just went part-time in March and it is awesome to spend more time with Ben. I hope you really enjoy it! :)

It's good to hear about you and Josh (congrats on the commercial--that's great!), as well as sweet little Avery. I love all the recent pictures of her. The bath ones are so cute and the one where she is all smiles. What a sweetheart! That is so great that you will be able to work part-time and from home too! God is good.

Josh and Erin,

I had to look you up because I was just watching the US Open and saw Josh in the commercial. So cool. Also, great to hear about the family and little Avery, Ted and Alissa Kruse just had a little girl and named her Avery. Anyway, congrats on the commercial, just had to look you up to see if I was right. Take care.
