Happy Birthday to our Ava!

     This is a perfect birthday weekend for Ava, first baby animal days and now a big party at FunPark!  She had the best time!!  Ava is our little "surprise package" child.  We were in the final stages of adopting a little girl when we learned I was pregnant.....very pregnant. (We did not cancel the adoption, but months later the adoption fell through).   After spending over 5 years and lots of money on infertility treatment, I learned it would be highly unlikely for me to conceive with or without medical help.  Imagine our surprise when the ultrasound confirmed I was 6 months pregnant.  Ava has kept us guessing ever since.
     Ava has never followed traditional paths.  She is a trailblazer.  She dances to the beat of her own drum, in her own band, with her own audience.  She's such a funny, interesting, adorable daughter.
