The Family Tree

Avery doesn't have any idea yet what a lucky girl she is to have been born into the Piland/Kelley families.  She has grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins that can't wait to watch her grow and already love her so much!  Over the past few weeks, Avery has been able to meet all of our immediate family, with the exception of Uncle Evan, Aunt Passa, and her little cousin Cara.  We can't wait for them to come up from Texas for a visit this summer!  Here are some pics from the various family visits...

Aunt Nikki (we're pretty sure Avery has inherited Nikki's curly hair!)

Nana and Papa Piland came for a visit and we celebrated Nana's birthday!  Apparently she turned 3 years old.

Nana helped us capture Avery's tiny handprint.

Grandma Kelley came to stay for a few days when we first got home from the hospital.  It was such a great help!
Avery loves to hear Grandpa Kelley sing to her.

Aunt Shannon and Uncle Paul.  The only photo we have of Paul holding Avery and her head is cut off.  Sorry brother.

Aunt Kristen couldn't get over how tiny she was (Katie and Will weighed about as much at birth as Avery does now at 5 weeks!)

cousins Katie and Will.  Kate did a great job holding her baby cousin.  Will was more interested in the cat than the baby, which is a good thing because poor Nellie really appreciated the attention.

The Upton family... Aunt Shannon, Uncle Travis, cousins Spencer and Karly.  The kids LOVED Avery and couldn't take their eyes off her.  It was a sweet moment.

We've loved showing our daughter off to so many of our friends and family.  What a treat for us to see her get so much love and attention!
