Happy Birthday, Avery Kate!

Oh my, where has the year gone? On this day last year, we welcomed Avery Kate into this world and she has forever changed our lives. It's so amazing to watch her grow and see her personality develop. Happy Birthday, Avery!

Just minutes old...



2 days old...

One year later...

Avery Kate-
When we found out we were pregnant with you, we already loved you. Then you arrived and you forever changed our hearts and lives. Each day we love you more- more than ever thought possible. You have taught us the meaning of unconditional love. We are so blessed and humbled to be chosen as your parents. God has been good to us and we thank Him for the privilege to be a part of your life. Always know that we will do our best as parents but no matter what, our love for you will never waiver. You are so special to us and we can't imagine life without you. Happy birthday, peanuts!

Love-
Mommy and Daddy

She is so precious and I love her very much, I am so proud of you and Aaron and the great parents you are to the precious gift God has given you. Always love her and she will bring the greatest joy to your life. As a mother I can honestly say that is true. I just wish I was closer to spoil her rotten! Love you all

Maybe it is my hormones, but I couldn't even read your whole note to Avery...I just couldn't help but cry. How sweet!!! I can't wait to meet her one day. Happy Birthday Avery!

This post is absolutely precious. Avery is a lucky little girl to have such loving and thoughtful parents. This is a very sweet idea to post her birth and 1 year pictures at the same time to see how far she's grown...Do you mind if I borrow the idea for Brendan's 1st birthday? We're only 1 month away!
