Happy birthday Avery
My granddaughter Avery turns five today so here is another one of my blessing blogs.
I love Avery because she absolutely brings joy into every occasion. You have to smile, laugh, and love life with her.
She loves her family so much. Loves her Mommy and Daddy of course, but adores her big brother Jake. Talks about her cousins Anna, Andrew, and Austin all the time. Loves her big girl cousins Brenna and Kelsey and is so excited when they come see her.
She and Mimi have a great relationship. Loves to spend time with Mimi. Loves to talk to her on the phone every day. Of course, Julie and Marsha talk every day. And so do Marsha and her Mom. Pretty neat
She loves books. She wants books read to her all the time. Loves to spot words she knows.
She is sooo cute. Pretty enough that we don't say much about it to her because so many other people do.
I love the way our church family loves her and prays for her.
She loves God and Jesus. Love it when I catch her singing praise songs. Love to hear her pray. She mentions every family member by name in every prayer.
She already makes friends so easily.
So I am glad she's so pretty. Happy that she is smart. And love that her personality is so sparkly.
But best of all, her little heart already seeks Jesus.
So what a great year Avery is going to have. She gets to start Kindergarten. She gets to be part of the Pup Club at Wylie. Yeah, I know. They start them early out there.
So Avery, when Mommy and Daddy -- or Mimi -- reads this to you... remember that Pops loves you and is so proud of you. You make my world a better place and bring joy to my life. Keep it up.
Thank you God for the gift of Avery Grace Gilbreth.
