Happy 1st Thanksgiving, Avery! 2 weeks old!

Wow, I can't believe Thanksgiving came and went. We were lucky to have my sister, brother, and Mom and Dad come down to help us celebrate our first holiday in CO. They all came on Wednesday. It was the first for all, except Mom, to meet Avery. Tom and Mitch came to our house and celebrated Thanksgiving with us. We all had a great time. And it was Avery's 2 week birthday. She's just been a little honey, such a good baby. I am doing great too. I am recovering much faster than I was thinking. I think you almost have to when you have a rambunctious toddler to chase after. Bryce did a great job of taking care of Brayden. The two were inseparable! Mom, Dad and Bryce left early on Sunday morning and my sister was able to spend the entire next week with us (she had work here). 3 more weeks until we see everyone again for Christmas.

It's crazy how BIG Brayden seems to me, especially when changing their diapers!

Hey Mom, what's my old outfit doing in Avery's room, it still fits me!!

No, sweetie, 2 years ago this outfit fit you :)
2 Weeks Old!

I am so alert!

I remember this car seat, although it looks a little pink, I don't mind!

Avery's one week old

Wow, I can't believe how fast this last week's gone. We got out of the hospital on Monday morning and it was good to be home with my family. Brayden's been such an incredible big brother. He's always giving his little sister kisses and saying "Hi baby sister". He's doing so well. And she's just been a little angel! She's so easy and I don't know if it's because I have already gone through it once already or if she's really this good. Here are some pictures from the hospital:

I love my baby Sister!


All tired out!
Miss Avery, cute as a button

Mom thinks I look like her.

Happy 70th Birthday Great Grandma Mugzy!

What a fun week and weekend we had! Halloween, Andy & Heather's engagement party, my grandparents coming to town.......lots of action at the Coppin house. Brayden was asked to be a ring bear (SP??) for Andy and Heather's wedding in May, so excited to see him all duded up! Hope he walks down the aisle OK.

My Grandparents, Ron and Margaret Ann, came on Saturday for the night on their way down to AZ. Last Monday was Grandma's 70th birthday so we had birthday supper at our house to celebrate. It was so nice to have them stop by. We are fortunate to be able to have them and Joel's grandparents go through CO on their way to and from AZ.

Less than 36 hrs and we'll be having another addition to our little family! Can't wait!! Joel's parents, his Grandma Mary, and my Mom are all on their way as we speak. Look at Thursday or Friday for the UPDATE!!

Here are some pictures from the last week:
