Family Matters, My Girl

Two’s Company

Happy Birthday to my baby girl!  I can’t believe what a whirlwind the past year has been.  She went from a babbling, compliant baby who could not walk unassisted to the beaming, strong-willed, fire-cracker I spend my days sprinting after.

Her birthday party was a smash hit…there was cake, balloons, presents and all shared in the company of family and a few good friends.  We are lucky to have such great people in our lives to spend these days with.

This next year is going to be very different from the last in that Avelyn is going to be a big sister.  Sometimes I am frightened by the magnitude of the new baby’s arrival and all it means for our family, but I know that Avelyn will thrive as a sibling.  I get to enjoy her, all by her lonesome, for a few more weeks.  We’ll watch the rest of the summer disappear as my belly grows and when the fall comes, we’ll both be getting used to having a baby sister around.  Until then, there are water balloons to bite.

And curly tendrils of pigtails to adore.

Happy 2nd birthday, Avelyn!  We love you with everything.
