Two!

I have this little angel. For me she left her wings.
She has no idea how much happiness she always brings.
She brightens up my days with her smiles and her laughs.
She helps me to remember all the blessings that I have.

Her face, it is so perfect, she's sweet and soft and pure.
Sometimes she can be willful and sometimes she is demure.
She tries her very hardest to please and do what's right.
She gives the greatest hugs from morning until night.

Every person that has known her sees this light within her soul.
I know that in this whole great world, she has a special role.
She's helpful and considerate to everyone she knows.
This light in her shines brighter as my angel grows.

I know that God must love me, He showed me with His Grace.
I knew just how completely when I saw my angel's face.
And in that very moment when she came into my world,
I knew that she was so much more than just my baby girl.

She will be my sunshine, with a sweetness that won't end.
And when she grows up one day she will be my closest friend.
She will be the reason I will always try my best.
For my little angel baby girl will be my greatest test.

When God entrusts to you an angel, who has left her wings for you
Encircle her with love in everything you do.
Let her know God made her, and that He trusts you with her care.
Be sure to make time for special moments with her to share.

And when at night she finally says her prayers and goes to sleep
I thank Him for my angel, and ask for him to always keep
A watchful eye and hand to protect her from this world.
Protect my little angel; protect my baby girl.

I found this poem online and thought it was perfect for us.  Happy second birthday, baby girl!  I love you to the moon and back a thousand times over.

Thank you to all our friends and family who sent gifts, cards, texts, pictures and videos to Avery for her birthday.  We love you all so very much!

Lastly, I would like to make a special announcement that Cole Di Nino has arrived.  He was born on Wednesday, September 19th to ecstatic and blessed parents, Patricia and Chris.  Welcome, Baby Cole!  You are gorgeous!
