On Sunday August 1st, we celebrated Avery's 1st birthday surrounded by friends and family. It was a perfect sunny summer day and Avery had so much fun. Thank you to all of our friends and family that were here with us to celebrate. As you know, first birthdays are not so much for the child as they are the parents. I like to look at it as a celebration of successfully making it through the first year of parenting. Avery has been such a blessing in our lives that it is hard to think how life was without our little girl. It is very sad to think the first year has went by already but we are super excited for all the fun that lies ahead. Avery is one very lucky girl to be surrounded by such love!!!
