a year.

To my surprise.

The idea of you surprised me. I will admit to the point of fear.

I didn’t know how my heart would have enough room.

But you surprised me.

You came. My heart grew. It filled with you.

Your sweetness

Your quiet spirit

Your kindness

Your determination

Your meekness

Your love of play

Your keen eye

Your laughter

Your smile

Your observant nature

Your strength

Your love for your brother

Your love for your daddy

Your love for me

You were an amazing surprise. I am thankful for a year with you. And I look forward to the surprises you will bring my life for the years to come.

I love you Avery Elizabeth Bailey. I love you.

Happy birthday baby girl.

Love, Mommy! 2011. 

"I pray that you and all of God's people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ's love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is." Ephesians 3:18-19
