My sweet Avery, today you said "I know that Mommy. I know everything because now I am 4". That was a little hard for me to digest. Although I know you can't fully comprehend the full weight of what you said, I know that all too quickly I'll have a know-it-all teenager on my hands! I am already praying for those years ahead and hope that in some way it won't be too traumatic for either of us! But until then, I am so grateful for this time in my life to share the joys of you! You bring laughter to my soul and a love into my heart that I never knew exsisted! I look at you and want to freeze moments in time - how I feel at the moment when you say "Mommy I love you so much in the whole wide world", or how my heart melts when you lovingly kiss your sister and tell her "sissy you are such a sweety and big sissy loves you" or how my heart leaps for joy when you want to pray at night and you talk to God saying "Jesus we love you so much and thank you for loving us"! I know life is passing by too quickly and there is nothing I can do about it. So, I take a deep breath when these moments come, close my eyes, try to remember what you look like and how you sound and thank my God for giving me such love and beauty in this world! I thank Him for giving me you! My precious Avery! I love you!

Avery is so sweet. She melts my heart too!
Amber, I have to say this post brought tears to my eyes... with a heart full of joy! Children are indeed a gift from the Lord!
Oh My Goodness Amber! This just made me break down into a puddle of tears. How very very precious this was to read. You are such a wonderful mother and are blessed with beautiful little girls. Time does go by so quickly (sigh).
Remember this one my friend....we were teenagers once and our mothers probably thought the same thing. Now, you and I both know we weren't complete angels but I bet if you ask your mom she will say that those were some of the best years! At least that is what my mom says about me...haha! :) Seriously, you have a good foundation with Avery and that can only get stronger. Don't let the world make you worry! She is your child so GOODNESS doesn't fall far from the tree!! I love you and you are an amazing MOMMY!!!
