Oh My, Oh Me, Miss Avery is Three!!

3

Sassy, happy, healthy, and free, 
Little Avery is turning three!
She's "full speed ahead" wherever she goes
And everyone knows she keeps us on our toes! 
To hear Avery laugh is such a treat, 
And her infectious smile still can't be beat!
She may throw fits when she doesn't get her way, 
But her hugs and "luz you" would brighten anyone's day. 
The Good Lord has answered our prayers, some big and some small, 
He's held our Avery, and she's been having a ball!
She is "God's Child" as her "GG" would say, 
And we are so lucky to be richly blessed with Avery today!

Happy Third Birthday to Miss Avery Elizabeth Bell! Words cannot explain our incredible love for you, and I could never fully describe how your little life has so greatly impacted mine! Here's to many, many more healthy and happy years sweet girl! ♥ Mommy

A Happy Announcement...


Surprise, surprise, our little family of three will soon be four! We feel truly happy and blessed to announce Baby Bell #2 will be arriving in late January 2013! We are looking forward to a happy, health, and uneventful pregnancy this time around. We also can't wait to know whether Baby #2 is a boy or a girl! ♥
Looks like someone is going to be a big sister! She has no idea what this really means at this point; however, I know she will be a great sister no matter what!

You Can't Beat a Free Vacation!

Jake played in the their annual fundraiser golf tournament recently, and his team won. He scooped up a 3 night condo stay at Orange Beach for the first weekend in June, and I couldn't have been happier! It was such a blessing because this is the second year we weren't planning on having a vacation! Not only that, we got to take GG, Papaw, and Jener along with us! We stayed in a really nice, 3 bedroom condo with a sweet balcony overlooking the Gulf. Avery really enjoyed the sand (the ocean...not so much)! She watched all the boats in the water, and loved seeing the planes fly by with those advertisements. It was a nice, relaxing break for us, and I am so grateful we were able to go to my favorite place, the beach, this year. 
















The umbrella guy said Jener had the best set-up on the beach...under an umbrella, buried in the sand. Of course, that was before Uncle Jake and Avery started putting sand over his head!

it was a bit windy!




She's always running- away from the camera!



Avery wanted to check on Papaw.
