Baby Avery Has Arrived!!

I am so very excited! One of my best friends in the whole world, Tiffanni Wax, just gave birth to her first baby this weekend. Avery AnnElla Wax arrived Saturday evening, the 21st (on her due date!) weighing in at 6 pounds 11 ounces and measuring 18.5 inches long. I am so excited to meet the little one and share the amazing world of motherhood with Tiffanni. She and I have been best friends since 2nd grade, and there aren't many people who know me better than she does. She is such a wonderful, loyal friend so of course I am just thrilled for her and her husband, Scott (yes, we both married guys named Scott:). I wish I could meet Avery right now! But alas, that will have to wait. But only for a few weeks! Yes, thanks to the charity of my parents (Grandma Kathy wants to see Nicky again), Nicky and I will be making another trip up to North Dakota in August. We will be flying this time so hopefully Nicky will do well on his first flight. We will be gone for 2 whole weeks - such a long time to be away from Dada, I know, but it will give us a bunch of time to relax and visit with friends and family that we didn't get on our quick trip to ND in June. Nicky and I will also be stopping for the first part of the trip in Glenburn to see the Huizengas. Then it is off to Regent to see the Laubs and meet baby Avery. So all of you up in North Dakota, mark your calendars for August 16th - August 30th and let me know when you might be available for a visit. I can't wait!!
