what has two thumbs and turned eight yesterday?

THIS GUY!!!









Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of our first born son!!! Having him has stretched us and grown us up. He has given us so much joy!!!

Avery,
I love when you...
smile
help me carry in the groceries
laugh with me
make ME laugh
kiss your sister good-bye in the morning
speak tenderly to Miles
call Daddy your hero
dust yourself off after a hard fall
persevere
recite the Bible verses
...and so much more!
