I know she loves pink, but come on!!

Here is a photo of Ava on her first birthday...with pink eye...






Here is a photo of Ava, days before her third birthday...with pink eye...

While we are comparing, I cannot get over her hair! It was brown, and so short a mere two years ago.  Now it is so long and blonde!! Ava Girl is such a joy in our lives.  Happy Birthday Honey!!

**I realize it is hard to tell, but her right eye(left looking at it) is super swollen and red...poor baby!!**

Changes....

As you can see, I've added some "badges" to my blog (the Childrens Hope Chest, AHOPE, and Red Letters badges on the right side of the page).  I have been going through a major (I hope) life and soul change.  Through reading "Red Letters", and "The Hole in Our Gospel", my eyes have been opened to the daily atrocities that happen in our world, and I've been FORCED TO PAY ATTENTION.  "The Hole..." isn't a blasphemous book, contrary to some reactions elicited by Christians I know.  I would sincerely, from my the bottom of my soul, encourage you to read both of these books.  AND DO SOMETHING.  It only takes one person to start a revolution.  (And, if nothing else the proceeds of Red Letters feeds an orphan for a month, and those of "The Hole..." go to World Vision {it is written by their CEO, Richard Stearns}. )  But I warn you, prepare to have your world rocked.  America ISN'T all their is.  We have to get out of that mindset.  And make a difference.
