Once again I'm speechless! Gwen and Matt, Ivey was beautiful before her eyes and now she is just stunning. I showed her picture to Grace and Ivy and Grace said, "Oh Mom, she is even prettier!". We love your sweet family and we love the story that Ivey's life is telling.

Truly a day for celebration!

I have lurked here for a very long time, but it's time for me to "come out". Your daughter has an amazing will to thrive and I have fallen head over heels with this tiny one. :)

She is stunning. Just beautiful!

To Beautiful Green Eyed Girl Ivey,

Congratulations on your new set of fabulous green eyes. You look even more amazing, as if that was possible. This is a big, exciting and overall special day for you, your proud Momma and your entire family.

Hugs,

Gwen, Henry is currently in a conformer and working towards a scleral shell. The prosthetics are truly works of art. Would love to read about how you decided on the color.

Woo hoo and way to go Ivey! Your green eyes are the prettiest I have ever seen. I found this blog though another that I frequent often. I fell in love with Ivey the second I saw her sweet face. It is very clear in all the pictures that she is so loved. What a beautiful gift! She is adorable. I am thrilled for your family to have such a wonderful child and to have those beautiful eyes is the icing on the cake. Enjoy her!

Thank you all so much for taking time to share this milestone with our family. It is so great that you all are a part of our lives just as Ivey is a part of yours. And yes, I will give our reason for going with green. As soon as I get all of the pictures downloaded I will post more. There are only 300 or so to choose from! If you haven't left Ivey a comment, please do. Someday when she is older she will marvel at the love and prayer that surrounds her - in all the moments of her life. gwen

Our intersection in the elevator set the stage for the years to follow. From that point on, he knew I was a little nuts and a lot...
