These are some pictures of Little Miss Avery and me taken during VBS.
You will notice that at first she was not very happy to have to picture taken, but as time went on, she seems to be coming around!
I absolutely love this girl, she is such a blessing to everyone who knows her.
I was able spend some one-on-one time with her this past Sunday at church. When Avery came in the room, everyone came over and was talking and looking at her. Needless to say, we totally overwhelmed her. She started screaming and crying. I got her out of her carrier, and tried to rock her, didn't work. Tried walking and bouncing her, didn't work. I then sat her down to change her diaper and IMMEDIATELY she stopped crying and began smiling and laughing. Oh man, if something as small as 'having your diaper changed' would make me happy!
Once I was done changing her, I sat down and started to talk to her. Then I started thinking and something hit me really hit me hard.
She isn't worried about what tomorrow will bring, if she will get her homework done, or if she will be able to make it home without running out of gas!
Her biggest worry is, when she gets to eat next and when she gets to sleep!
Racking my brain, I sat there and thought about how I need to just take some time and sit back, push out all the 'craziness' in my life and really just enjoy the 'small things in life', like having your diaper changed! :)
