Happy First Birthday, Avery!


Today, is Avery's first birthday. It is such an odd feeling knowing that we will go on with our day today as normal and she is in the Orphanage in Haiti, without us. No first birthday piece of cake, no presents, no singing. We hope and pray that next year at this time she'll be home in NC, but there are no guarantees.

Ironically, today is Caden's birthday party and he is having a sports themed party at a local indoor sports club. I wish we could save a piece of cake and send it to Avery...especially now that she has 4 teeth. She is also 16.5 pounds, 26 inches and likes to be held according to the nannies at the Orphanage.

Happy First Birthday, Avery!

..Yes, Tracy, I feel your pain- the aching is overwhelming some days. Praying that we both keep clinging to God's hope.
