Avery is 2!

I'm so glad we decided to adopt one LAST baby! We would be living a life with much less glitter, dollies, pink, and sparkly shoes. I can't believe Avery is 2!

Tons of memories come flooding back when I think about our lives 2 years ago: seeing her birth, snuggling with her and then almost losing her. We went through so much as a family. Miss Avery has made our family closer and more loving. She has such a calm and pleasant demeanor and it's just what I needed while dealing with some other issues and other children. I'm so grateful for you baby girl!


The first picture we snapped through the nursery window at the hospital. She already looked so happy.


At just a couple of days old. She was such a teensy thing.


We finalized Avery's adoption the summer of '09. It was such a happy day for all of us! Zack and Bryce LOVE their little sister so much.


She celebrated her first birthday on the beaches of the Dominican Republic, lucky girl. She loved the sand and mastered the straw so she could drink her smoothies.

Just a few weeks ago in her pretty Christmas dress.

We love you Miss A! Happy Birthday!
