I knew the summer was going to go by fast with everything we have going on, but I don't know that I was expecting it to go this fast...
We haven't done much, but at the same time we've done a lot. For the past 3 weeks my mom and niece, Haileigh have been visiting. It's been good for the girls, and I love that we have the chance to do this. This year Avrie is going home with Grammy and Poppa for the week and we will go up and get her and see family for the last time before #3 arrives. I haven't really updated because we haven't done much to document. We did finish the Big Sister Room, as we were calling it, and the girls helped paint...while in their underwear, so I won't be putting those pictures up, but I do have a few funny ones so if you are around ask and I'll show you silly Quinn with her paint brush stuck in her waistband and covered in some pink paint.
As for getting ready for baby, yeah not so much has happened since moving Avrie. I have one wall painted in the nursery and that's about it. We'll have it ready when it needs to be, I just am having trouble with time management right now so that kind of stuff gets put to last.
Overall, I've been feeling great, but this week the sore back has kicked in full gear. It hurts to sit or stand for too long and doing anything like sweeping the floor or vacuuming is a 2 or 3 part job instead of just getting it all done. I don't care Quinn much anymore, which is good all around, but it's also hard to just rock her.
And we still don't have a name. At this point we will have Baby Girl Hoell #3. I have some I like and some I don't like and nothing I love. I love Avrie Kate and I love Quinn Rose so I don't want to settle for something I don't love. So yeah, we'll see what happens.
And with the girls...they are doing good. We have been trying to get Quinn more interested in potty training, but not much has happened with that, and we don't want to force the issue, so we continue to just check in every once in awhile to see if she's getting it. She's staying dry, sometimes all night, but doesn't totally get the feel it and go thing...oh the joys. And Avrie is working on making good choices. she wants a fish and she's working on earning it, but she has to start all over when she makes a really bad choice, and she bit Quinn this week, so we are trying again. We'll see what happens when she gets home from Michigan...
And since I don't have tons of pictures, here's one of some cheese eaters. They have decided that the best way to eat cheese is to go lay back in our big chair with their feet in the air and enjoy...yeah those are my cute silly girls.

Don't worry. A name will come. And if not, Baby Girl #3 does sort of have a nice ring to it ;)
