Ben's Birthday Adventure

/

Ben chose Sylvan Heights Bird Park as his 6th birthday adventure day. Normally it’s just me and the birthday boy but he wanted Grandpa to join us and since this was a 2 hour drive and would be an all day adventure, of course we would include him!

Funniest two parts of the day without a doubt was when he saw the welcome to North Carolina sign and his sheer shock that we were leaving Virginia. He kept saying under his breath “no one told me we were going to NC” and the second moment was as we were driving down 95 headed home all of a sudden he yells out “We’ve got the Beef”. Nothing else, just that. Apparently he had seen an Arby’s off in the distance. He didn’t ask to stop or start any conversation. He just yelled that out and never said another word about it. That boy always keeps us laughing LOL

Happy #7

In a blink of an eye Avery has one from newborn to a seven year old.

Seven?? How is this even possible? 

For her birthday this year, we started what I hope is a new tradition and took her out for a date.  We had lunch, went to the mall where she was able to pick her own presents (surprisingly she went with all clothes and shoes) and then headed over to Cocoa and Hazel for a special treat.

She is so fun, compassionate and such a huge heart and we are so lucky to be a part of her journey.  

We love you Avery, to the moon and back always!

Avery Turns Five

Not sure how we got here. It seems like we just got the phone call that Avery was on her way and now it’s 5 years later. Little one, you are growing up to be such a beautiful, kind-hearted, caring person and we are so on love with you and proud.

We celebrated your birthday today, along with your family and a few friends at the local trampoline park. It was so much fun to see you and all your friends run, play and laugh.
