As most of you know, in my previous career, I was a teacher. But aren't we all teachers? Don't we all have opportunities to believe in someone? Do we miss opportunities to inspire and help people develop to their fullest potential? Even more important, as adults, do we develop into the person God intends us to be? Watch this video of a young man who has obviously been inspired and believed in!

Shark or Baby?
Definitely a baby with a lot of hair! Ava loves her bath and her daddy loves to make her hair into funny shapes.

Why?
Zachary is so unique in everything he does! I stand amazed at how he plays and comes up with all sorts of things that entertain us and keep giving us answers to the question of "why God?"
So the story starts with Zachary going for a bike ride outside with Victor on his big new three wheel bike. After returning from the bike ride, I hear Zachary (from upstairs) saying "Ava Marie's pink tricycle." As Zachary does, he says things several times until someone responds or acknowledges that we hear him. So after hearing this several times, I went to see what he was talking about and this is what I saw. Zachary "riding" Ava's tricycle down the stairs with a huge grin. Oh, and listenting to music on his headphones at the same time.
Not long after this picture was taken, there he was laying so peacefully on the couch taking a nap. For those of you who know Zachary, naps have never been part of his routine. It is a time like this that I have all of the answers to that question of "Why God?" Why...because His works are wonderful and Zachary is wonderfully made! Psalm 139:14

Ava is 11 Months Old!
It is hard to believe that Ava is just one month shy of a year old! Each day brings something new to her world and certainly to the lives of each of us. She is crawling, pointing, talking, pulling up, walking along the couch, laughing, saying a few words (dog, dada, papa, etc.) and so much more. She is also starting to favor certain toys over others and makes it very clear when you take something from her or when she can't get what she wants. The toy she has in these pictures is her newest favorite. She can actually crawl all over the place with this "little person" in her mouth. She loves her bath and screams when it is over. Then she tries to join Zachary for his as soon as she hears the water come on. We thank God everyday for bringing this beautiful blessing into our lives.
