Avery Elizabeth Bell, born on June 9, 2009 @ 7:25 a.m.,4lbs,15 oz, & 17 1/4 in
On the morning you were born, the sun smiled with such wonder that the clouds peeked in to see you and the wind whispered, "Life will never be the same."
Because there had never been anyone like you...ever in the world...
...So whenever you doubt just how special you are and wonder who loves you, how much and how far, listen for geese honking high in the sky (They're singing a song to remember you by....
Or notice the bears asleep at the zoo. (It's because they've been dancing all night for you.) Or drift off to sleep to the sounds of the wind. (Listen closely...it's whispering your name again!)...
If the moon stays up until morning one day, or a ladybug lands and decides to stay, or a little bird sits at your window a while, it's because they're all hoping to see you smile...
For never before in story or rhyme (not even once upon a time) has the world ever known a you, my friend, and it never will, not ever again...
Heaven blew every trumpet and played every horn on the wonderful, marvelous morning you were born.

(excerpts edited slightly by Avery's mom :)
With bright red hair and big blue eyes,
She gets lots of attention from passers-by.
She’s full of personality, smart, and funny,
And says many words like eye, juice, and bunny!
2 heart surgeries couldn’t slow her down,
She’s the most active little girl in town!
She finally reached over 20 pounds,
She’s beaten the odds by leaps and bounds!
She’s running, jumping, and dancing, woo-hoo!
And most importantly… little Avery is turning 2!
Wishing a very happy birthday to my precious gift from God!
The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever-do not abandon the works of your hands. Psalms 138:8
