Last Night

Last night little Zachary was trying so hard to communicate with us about something he could not find. All he was saying was "God," "black book," and other words between the crying and tears. After about 20 minutes of us trying to figure out what he was saying, I finally got it. There is a devotional book that he loves called "My Time with God." It is mostly black on the cover. When I gave it to him, he crawled in Victor's lap and wanted him to read certain pages to him. He fell asleep with the book in his hand so peaceful and content.

Is it possible..

...that this little angel has changed so much in just 3 and 1/2 weeks? This was taken when she was just one week old. Look for a 4 week photo soon to see just how she has already changed.

Tummy Time

Ava is still sleeping a lot and eating when she is not asleep. But yesterday during a few minutes that she was awake, I captured some time to let her lay on her tummy. She was only content for a few minutes. She is already changing so much and time is passing too fast.

Looking into her Daddy's eyes

This picture amazes me. Just look at the intense gaze as she looks at her daddy. She was so focused on him! I do believe Ava is practicing how she will use those eyes in her lifetime to win her Daddy's approval and get anything she wants. Poor Victor! He doesn't stand a chance.

Little Sister

Ava and her two big brothers...Wow, what will she do with these two much bigger brothers looking out for her and protecting her. She has already won their hearts and I'm certain this is just the beginning.

Two weeks old...

I cannot believe Ava is two weeks old already. She went to the doctor for her check up. She weighed in at 7 lbs 10 oz. So she is back up to her birth weight. We have been so blessed by all of the kindness and support from family and friends during this very special time in our lives. This picture was taken after a storm this week. Ava was sleeping sound, as you can see from the other picture, in her bassinet. I am always amazed by a rainbow. It and the precious little sleeping beauty are both reminders to us that God is present in everything.

A Smile!
