Firsts

We took Avery to my parents lake house for the first time over Memorial Day weekend.  The drive up to Hiawasee Georgia is always a long one, but so worth it once we are there.  It truly feels like a "get away".  We spend most of the days on the water.  taking out the boat, riding jet skis and swimming.  3 of my sisters were there with their kiddos, so we were a packed house and it was a blast.  My kids love being with their cousins more than anything.  I am so thankful for this.  Because we are in Birmingham, it is extra special when they get to be with their cousins. 
Avery really enjoyed it too!  She got lots of attention and had lots of fun on the boat and the jet ski.  I couldn't help but think that less than a year ago, she was in China and had no idea that in 9 months she would be riding a tube behind a boat in the mountains of North Georgia!  Isn't God amazing and faithful?
We laugh because Avery's personality would be great for an only child family....she demands attention!
I love that God has a sense of humor too!  He chose us to be her parents and for her to be the youngest of FIVE!
