lots of cuddles

Sweet girl,
Another great day with you. It started with you sleeping in my lap. Super sweet! I love to feel you sleeping.
I find myself just watching you and thanking Jesus for His miracle. You are so fun and playful. Today you spent a lot of time in my lap with books.

water puddle equals wet clothes

Hey big girl,
We had a really good day today. You were so happy and fun. You giggle easily now and it is music to my ears. Today you met a water puddle. You thought it was fun to stand in it. Before too long the water soaked through your shoes. Your socks were wet and the bottom of your jeans were soaked. You did not think that was too much fun. We came in and changed your clothes.
This past weekend me and papa found a play horse at tractor supply. It looks like one of the horses across the street from the country house. You loved it.
You are growing and learning so fast! I love watching you as you figure out new things.
As always, Grammy loves you! 01-09-2012 Avery

Happy New Year

Sweet baby girl,
A new year is here. This past year has been so much fun spending time with you. I treasure all the days we are together. Like Mary the mother of Jesus, I am treasuring these things in my heart.
This past weekend you and Tucker spent two days and one night with us. Me, you and Tucker headed out to Stella to meet up with Papa. As we were driving, Tucker sat in the car seat with you so he could look out the passenger side window. It was so funny. You were fussing and kicking. He finally moved.
We had a great weekend with you. You love the horses across the street and would try to go toward them everytime we were outside. Me and you slept on two air mattresses together. You flip and flop a lot when you sleep. We did not get much sleep. Tucker slept with Papa. I was so glad to have you and give your momma and daddy a weekend away.
You are such a cute and stubborn little girl.
As always, Grammy loves you! 01-03-2012 Avery

Christmas 2011

Baby girl,
Hey sweet girl. Boy are you walking! You want to walk and not be carried. You are really gettibg good at it too.
Last weekend we had a family Christmas gathering at Stella. The furnace quit so we had to use space heaters. The living room furniture was not delivered so we all sat in camp chairs or game table chairs. No dining room furniture either. We also had to use air mattresses. With all that, we had an amazing time. You tiddler around everywhere. There is lots of room for you to walk and walk. Tucker was a big chicken and stayed close yo your daddy the whole time. Lots of memories were made.
As always, grammy loves you. 12-21-2011 Avery

you are walking!

Hey sweet girl,
You are walking everwhere! You are a little stiff legged but are so proud of yourself.  Your personality is really beginning to show. You are so much fun!
Saturday you and your parents came to Stella and you loved the horses across the street. You  are such and animal lover.
You played with the snowmen today that are out for Christmas. When Papa came home, you had to show him how you could get in and out of your rocking chair by yourself. You were super proud of yourself. Then you showed him that you could get on and off your firetruck all by yourself. You kept eye contact with him to make sure he was watching. We had a great day today.

as always, grammy loves you! 11-28-2011 Avery

wind in your hair

Sweet baby,
Today was a great day. The weather was warm and sunny. You love to play outside better than anything and today was perfect for outdoors. I took a blanket out for us since you don't like to crawl in the grass. Boy, did that change today. You were crawling everywhere as fast as you could go. You were so carefree. You were not aware of how dirty you were getting. To you, dirt is a by product of fun. You washed up just fine. lol
At one point, we were sitting on the blanket and the wind was blowing slightly through your hair while you played with leaves. I was overwhelmed with thanksgiving for such a special little girl and the amazing blessing of getting to take care of you. I sat and watched you and praised God in my heart.
Me and Papa get the keys to the farm Thursday. We have so many plans for having fun with you there.
You have several grandparents that love you so much. Your papa says you can't have too many people to love you. We all need as many folks in our corner as we can. You, my sweet one, have many!
As always, Grammy loves you! 11-7-2011 Avery
