Happy Birthday Avery!!
Avery and Silas Bottomly. This is the day she committed to praying for a baby!!
First day of school.
Avery with her Charlie. :)
Avery and Abbi- best friends since birth
On the softball field
Tomorrow is Avery's 9th birthday!! Where does the time go? She is a delight, and a joy to parent. She has such a precious spirit and love for life. I'm just so thankful the Lord called me to be her mom! She is working on her culinary skills and we all benefit from her various creations. She can't wait to have the baby brother that she literally prayed for, here in her arms!! She wants us to get a monitor with two listening ends so that she can have one in her room!! Love her. :)

P.S- We met with our awesome social worker tonight. It was great to see Jenna again and do the necessary updates to keep this ball rolling. I will say the ball is at more of a slow roll right now and not the fastball that I would prefer. It is all keeping me at the cross and trusting in Him for all the details.

Happy Birthday, dear Avery! What an amazing year this is going to be for you! I pray that the Lord pours buckets of blessings on you as you gain another sister and brother to your family this year.
Love and a hug from your Auntie Laurie!

Happy Birthday sweet Avery! I love that Silas helped seal the deal for her that she wanted a baby brother....what a help she is going to be! A monitor in her room?? Avery calls all night time feedings! :)
Can't wait for more news and for that ball to start moving FAST! It will. :)
Happy Bday sweet Avery !! I can't wait to one meet you ... It is so often the prayers of a child that change the parents ... Can't wait to see her holding her baby brother and playing ball w/ her new sister ...
Love ya girl !!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! She is pure joy to look at, she is a clone of her momma!
Nine, wow! And I just love how she got to play such an important role and got to witness God working! So cool!
Things are good if they're at least moving, even if slower than you prefer. But, let's keep praying that a big giant hill come for that ball to roll down! Have you rec'd any updates or pics. of W & B?? xoxo lor
happy birthday, avery!!!!
Remember so well Avery's entry into this world. She has been, since birth, a precious little soul and a real joy. She has a servant spirit and possesses the gifts of hospitality and giving in full already. We are all richly blessed to have her in our family. And she knows too the power of prayer. Seth is answer to her prayers for a baby.
Happy Birthday, sweet Avery.
Love,
Nanny
Happy Day! What sweet girl!

Happy Birthday Avery!!! I love birthdays...so fun. It's so great to hear what a sweet heart she is. I hope and pray all the time that we can raise our children to be like that. I'm so glad to hear how things were going...I've been thinking and praying for you guys and your kids. It almost makes it harder when you know who they are, doesn't it? Have a fun day tomorrow!
What an adorable girl... I can't wait to see pictures of her with her little brother!
Best wishes... we are thinking of you and praying for you.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET AVERY!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
What a blessing your Avery has been in my life all of these years...from running up to me with her arms wide open as a two year old, to teaching me how to make mac and cheese, to standing on a stage by me when I get married....awwww...sniffle...I just adore her so much. I hope I can always be the Godly example that you have been for me, Em.
Oh Emily, I just caught up on your entire life!!!!!!! I AM PRAYING FRIEND!!!!!!
Emily-
I am a friend of Abby's and found your blog from hers. We also have just started our adoption journey! We are excited about adding a little Ethiopian girl to our family of four boys. I love this post where you build up your daughter. What a sweet girl and you are a wise mom. Proverbs says a wise woman builds her house and a foolish woman tears it down. Keep building!
