Happy Birthday Bird

Dear Ava,
Tomorrow you will turn two...boy, how time flies! It seems like yesterday they placed you in my arms and I fell hopelessly in love. You are the most wonderful gift I have ever been blessed with.
In two short years you have blossomed into such a sweet and funny little girl. Daddy and I are so proud of you! We are constantly amazed at all you are learning, and what a funny personality you have. You light up each day for me! I love it when you run to me and yell "mommyyyy" when I pick you up. I also love it when you turn to me and pucker your lips to give me a kiss, and then hug me so tight. You always know that daddy is home when you hear the garage go up, and you run to greet him. You make each day sweeter.
I hope you continue to be such a confident little girl. I hope you will always have such a zest for life. I love you with a love deeper than I ever knew existed.
I have to steal my prayer for you from a song, but it is so perfect.

Find your Wings by Mark Harris
I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings,
So let my love give you roots and help you find your wings.
It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off, but I'll cheer as you fly!

I love you sweet Ava Bird and thank God each day for blessing my life with your sweet presence! Happy Birthday! Mommy
