my avery

six years ago our family was blessed with the precious gift of avery.  i can tell you that my world changed when they placed her in my arms, when we brought her home, when she smiled at me, rolled over, walked, went to student life childcare, called me mommy, held her baby sister, started 3, 4 and 5k, wrote her name, did a forward roll, recited scripture, told me she loved me, made the right decision, saw cinderella's castle, danced in her ballet recital, held her baby brother, taught addison something new, swam by herself, failed at something...then succeeded.  in six short years God has used this little girl to change my life and i am so thankful for her.

happy birthday avery!
