Happy Birthday, Ivey!!! You are truly a blessing in our lives. You and your family have taught us so many valuable lessons. This morning when our Ivy popped out of bed, the first thing she said is, "It's Ivey's birthday!!!"...so we all celebrated for you early this morning. Hope your day is special in many, many ways.
Love, Ed, Allison, Grace & Ivy

Sweet Ivey,
Happiest birthday to you, big 2-year-old! You have accomplished so much this year. Your friend Ava hears all about you when I read her the stories that your Mommy posts on this website and she wants to meet you someday! Have the happiest birthday celebrating with your brothers and we hope that next week, you will be trach-free and in your Mommy's arms!
xoxo,
Megan and Ava P.

Happy Birthday sweet Ivey girl. You are such a beautiful happy girl with such a loving family. You (and your mamma) have captured the hearts of so many of us that have not met you. You have accomplished so many new milestones this year and we are praying for many more wonderful things for you this year. Hope you have a wonderful day and looking forward to hearing that you got to take out that trach. I am sure you will be so happy to be able to hear your lovely voice more often.

Two-year-old Ivey is so many things --
She slowly spreads her butterfly wings,
She's a hugger of mommmy,
A sweet pumpkinhead,
Full of wishes and dreams for the years ahead!

Happy Birthday to Sweet Ivey!
We Love You!

I do not know you personally but want to wish you a VERY happy birthday! Every milestone in a child's life is a cause for celebration. And looking over what your Mom has written about you the past couple of years, your miles may be a bit longer so, the bigger the milestone, the bigger the celebration!

So Happy Birthday, little one. And may God keep you and yours in His care always!
