Christmas 2009
What an awesome Christmas! God has blessed us so much with a precious daughter, great family, good friends, a home, jobs, and many other blessings. This is a good time of year to stop and reflect on all of the great things in our lives.
Avery is 22 months old...almost 2 years! Where has the time gone? She's a little mess. She is definitely an Allen and a Twelkemeier. Her hard-headed, stubborn streak is showing a little and she knows exactly how and when she wants things done. That's okay though...she's her own little person and we love her! She makes us laugh daily with her sayings and doings! Her new phrase, "I made it" now makes my heart skip a beat...until I see how bad the damage is! Today she used all of our stamps to decorate an envelope..."I made it!" And then she emptied an entire jar of vaseline and spread it all around...fabulous! These are the memories that we will cherish and laugh at in the future.
I found out this weekend that I'm going to be an aunt again! Well, not techniquely an aunt, but an aunt nonetheless! My cousin and his wife are expecting their first child. Early August is the due date and we are all so excited! It is so much fun to see our families grow!

Yep...I'm definitely not good at this blogging thing! Avery is now 19 months old. Time has flown by! She is running around everywhere and talking like crazy. She started Mother's Day Out twice a week. I'm not sure who it's been hardest on...Avery or Gram! It's been a bit of a rough start, but it's a good thing. School has begun and I am teaching 3rd grade. It has been a challenge thus far but I love my kids and like this grade. We had a great summer and look forward to a good fall. Today is the first Georgia game and we are enjoying it with family in Alabama. Avery is enjoying her cousins so much!
Gary and I became an aunt and uncle last week! Tucker Michael Twelkemeier was 7 lbs. 10 oz. and he is too cute! He looks just like his daddy, but I see his mommy in him too! We are so excited that he is here. I have been waiting to be an aunt for so long and I can't believe he's here. He had an infection and had to stay in the hospital for a week, but he is home now and doing well. I don't think he is giving mommy and daddy much sleep or rest, but do any babies??? Those first weeks are so hard! He is a blessing and I can't wait for he and Avery to meet! Hopefully soon...we're giving him a little time to adjust to his new world!
