Ok, so I'm crying. I remember those days (and we still have them) when little milestones were/are met tha we used to take for granted. How our little ones teach us to appreciate the simple things! And I loved hearing everyone (especially the boys) cheering her own. I'm so proud of you, Ivey!

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...
