I am not really sure how this happened, but my baby is eight today.
This time, eight years ago, I was propped up in a hospital bed, exhausted from a 40 hour labour, dumbfounded by the love I knew for the tiny girl in my arms, and it also kind of felt like I had been hit by a bus.
Avelyn has transformed into this wondrous child: full of laughter and hilarity, still prone to the same melodramatic tendencies she’s battled since toddlerhood, a tender, kind girl who loves animals and art and being with friends. She is beautiful and smart and we love her more than she’ll ever know.
Happy Birthday, Avi!

I always love how as mothers we can reflect so intensely on the day our babies were born, even years later! Also, who is this girl??!! I guess I haven’t seen a photo of her in awhile and was surprised at how…mature she looks! Happiest birthday wishes!
I am a very rare commenter on blogs I read, but this struck me as I’ve been reading your blog since the beginning and man on man 8 years goes by in a flash eh? She’s a beauty to say the least! Native Calgarian who’s currently living abroad. All the best to you, Steve & the girls!!
