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.

And Gwen, you look gorgeous, girl! Ivey takes after her mama :)
I was able to spend just a little time last night getting to know your family. What an incredible journey you've been on, and are still on! You're so generous to share it here with all of us so that we can be blessed. I'll be coming back to read more! :-)

I read through Ivey Elizabeth's story briefly and what a miracle she is too! You have an absolutely beautiful and amazing daughter, and we will be praying for her as well.
Blessings,

I'm a newbie to the site via MIghty Max and his mommy Amy. I practically read the whole blog yesterday afternoon. Ivey's eyes are BEA-utiful. I saw a program on PBS a few months back about an artist who forms and paints the eyes. I just know that there are only a handfull of people who do this, so maybe it was the person who did this amazing work for your family. I am so thrilled that Amy has linked me to you and your family. Sweet kisses to Ivey!

You are beautiful. Inside and out. You will see many things in your life through the eyes of God. You will see the beauty around you and you will see the love that he gives you. In the darkness, you will still have light, because God will give you visions of color and happiness.
The color green is for growth and that you will do, not only physically, but spiritally and with grace and beauty and you will spread the 'green' everywhere you go!
You are beautiful!

When I heard the very first time that you had been born, I knew that God was going to use you to make some changes in this world, and he has. I continue to pray for you and your mom and dad. Ivey, you are so very special; I hope that you know how much you are loved.

I know all the stares and cruel comments, but thats their Handicap , Not your childs! I often wonder, are the children we have been Blessed with , the handicapped one's? Or is it the others that just can't grasp the gental beauty our children carry always. I was and still am amazed at all my children have taught me. I have truly seen things I never would have noticed without them!We have been Blessed with Priceless Masterpieces and
Ivey is BEAUTIFUL! And her Green eyes only add to her beauty.
Brightest Blessings to ALL..

Gwen and Matt - no words are enough. She is an angel - it's a perfect choice. Miss you guys.

You are so beautiful! I have come back again and again to see you and this time I get to look into your amazing eyes. How precious you are to so many, many people. May God continue to bless you little one. We admire you so very much. You are loved. Trish and Ashley
"We live, we love, we forgive and never give up. For the days we are given are gifts from above, so today we remember to live and to love."
Thanks for being a reminder of living and loving and never, ever giving up.
You are such a beautiful girl. Your green eyes are absolutely gorgeous. I am constantly amazed by your accomplishments as I know many others are as well. There seems to be an extra sparkle in your mom's & dad's eyes too. They are so very proud of you. You have taught us all so much since you came into this world. We will continue to learn through you. You are a very blessed little girl and I am blessed to know you.
