Avery turns 8 years old today...at 9:08 pm.

I find it odd that it's been 8 years since the day that she was born.

I will never be able to thank God enough for giving Avery to us.

She has changed our lives. Those who know her...who really know her....know how incredibly special she is. She is bright, polite, kind, shy, sweet, caring, obedient, loving, creative, imaginative, and I could go on and on.

God has given Avery such a wonderful personality. God has given us such a wonderful Avery. And today we thank him over and over for the gift of Avery.

Enjoy looking at some photos of our sweet 8 year old girl...
