1st Birthday


Long time no post. I'm back and have lots of things to post. I've actually started to write posts and got too emotional so I would just quit typing. This past month has been such an emotional roller coaster and so stressful. We moved, Josh had to have an MRI of his brain (normal results thank God), had Avery's birthday party, and the 1 year anniversary of losing Adison. I've just been a ball of emotions. All I know is that God won't give me more than I can handle, but I sure wish he didn't trust me so much.
While Avery's birthday was so exciting and lots of fun it was missing one beautiful little girl who also shares this special birthday. Adison is missed everyday but I couldn't get past the fact that she wasn't here to celebrate as well. I took it lots harder than I expected to. I still managed to enjoy Avery's birthday and her birthday party, I'm so glad about that. Anyway...moving on to happier things.
Avery's party was fun and she got to meet lots of people for the first time. She really didn't want anyone holding her and if she let them it was short lived. Everyone understood and was really good with her. She did really well and we didn't have a single meltdown so I would say it was an excellent 1st birthday party. So thankful to be able to celebrate this wonderful miracle God gave me. 
When her party was over and it was just Josh, Mom, Meg, Ethan, Avery and I we did a balloon release for Adison. Avery even helped :) It was so special and oddly therapeutic, it was just what I needed. This will be something we do every year for our Angel in Heaven.
This is Avery's 2nd outfit and she kept pulling the bow off! lol
