SIX!!!


Ava crawled in bed with us yesterday morning, right around the same time she was born six years earlier. I looked at her legs stretching down the bed and couldn't believe how big she's grown. Has it been six years? Really? It seems like yesterday they handed me this tiny perfect thing wrapped up like a burrito - a breakfast burrito, because she was born just after 8 in the morning, and she was so sweet we could just eat her up.

Now she's going to school, losing teeth, blowing bubble-gum bubbles, swinging upside down on the monkey bars, skiing, ice skating, playing soccer, creating beautiful art, reading, and just growing up. I'm so proud of her and I love her to no end. Happy birthday Ava!!!

Cutie Pie! Such a big girl! Very cute pictures of all of your sweet girls. I did not like seeing the one of Naomi with the breathing tubes :( Poor baby. So glad she is all better! Cute pics of the blessing also.
