2 months ago today.......

We held our daughter for the first time. She was a little scared, we were terrified but somehow we all got through it. Some days it feels like yesterday it was just me, Paul, and Rowdy hanging out together and some days it feels like Avery has always been with us. We have definitely had some "hiccups" finding our groove as a family but I always like to say "we haven't broken her yet!" Our lives have changed so much in these last 2 months and we wouldn't change it for the world.
Here is Little Miss Avery on Gotcha Day about 15 minutes after we first held her!!

and here she is today. Experiencing the pool for the first time!!

Avery,
Mommy and Daddy love you so much!! We can't imagine our lives without you. Even though the wait was alot longer than we expected we now know why: God knew that YOU were our daughter. You have taught us so much in the last 2 months about trust, patience, unconditional love, and the joys of parenthood. We love your sweet personality and your smiles can brighten even the hardest days. You truly are our pride and joy. We hope that we can always make you feel safe and secure and proud of us!! We love you baby!!!
