A day in Avery's life: Navajo Lake 2009

Eating hashbrowns on the way to the lake.

We went camping at Navajo Lake in August. Avery's first camping trip! We spent the days on the lakeshore. Avery, Aaron and Mom sat in the shade under a tent awning and read books, ate snacks and splashed in the water. Avery loved playing in the sand.

Here's the story, of a girl named Avery...

October 15, 2008

Some time ago I (Brad) had an experience that I would like to share with you. When Janet was pregnant with Aaron I had a dream. In my dream I saw a little girl as part of our family. Her name was Avery. I told Janet in the morning about my dream and we wondered if it meant we were going to have a baby girl. Janet always felt that we would have sons – plural. When Aaron was born, that promise was fulfilled. We now had 2 sons. We also felt very strongly that Janet was not to give birth to another child, but we wondered about the little girl in the dream. We wondered why we would have this dream and then not be able to bring another baby into our family.

As you know, things don’t always come about in our lives the way we plan them. When the Lord closes a door, a window opens.

We are very grateful for this child and are thankful that we were chosen to be her parents. Our children are all looking forward to having Avery as part of our family. We feel that she will complete our family.

Thank you for letting us share this blessing with you.

We love you,

Brad and Janet
