Cousins

In July of 2004 my sister in law, Christine, and I found out that we were both pregnant. We were so excited that we would get to go through our pregnancies together. We later found out that we had the same due date. In October we both found out we were having girls. We couldn't wait to see the great friendship our girls would have. Since she had a previous c-section, they scheduled a c-section for February 28th. If I hadn't had Avery by March 3 my dr. was going to induce on that day. We thought that would work out well so our husbands' parents could be there for both births since we lived 3 hours apart. That would have been way too easy though. On the night of Feb. 27 I went into labor and had Avery on the 28th, 3 hours after Kylee was born. Avery says they are twin cousins. Here are a some pictures of the girls over the past 5 years.

Avery Jade

Five years ago we were blessed with the first of our two very special daughters. Avery has brought so much joy to our lives, and I couldn't imagine life without her. She is definitely my mini me. I can't believe that in just a few months she will be starting school. We love you, Avery.
