A Family of Four

It is still strange to me that we are going to be a family of four. I am so excited about having this new little life, but it is still going to be an adjustment. I love that Ava is so excited about being a big sister. She has to kiss her baby brother/sister every night before she goes to bed and she has to make sure that she gives the baby lots of hugs throughout the day. She is growing up so fast, and she just amazes me every day.

The other night we were eating corn on the cob at my parents house and my mom had put the holders in the end of her corn so that she wouldn't burn her fingers. She started to try and eat when she stopped and asked my mom what those things were for. Grammie explained that they were there so that she didn't burn her fingers, she looked right at my mom and said as serious as could be, "Grammie I can't eat my corn under these conditions". Really?! You are 3! Her vocabulary just amazes me. She is so smart far beyond where she should be. She is so excited for preschool and I can't wait to send her. She is going to learn so much more and just continue to grow into this amazing child.

We have been spending a lot of time at the library. She loves going there and playing with the toys, doing crafts, and looking at all of the books. She loves that we get to pick out books to bring home and read together. She isn't really a big fan of having to take the books back to the library, she thinks that she should be able to keep them all since she picked them out to come home.

Gary has been gone with the Military for the last 2 and a half weeks, and we are so ready to get him home! We have missed him so much. This is the first time since his deployment that the has been gone for a long period of time, and Ava really is confused. She keeps asking if we are going to get to talk to daddy soon. She was happy to pull out her daddy doll so that she could be with him even though he wasn't here. It amazes me that she still remembers all of that!

Well that's the Methenys in a nutshell, look for more updates now that we have baby Metheny on the way!!
