Our Ava girl is three!?!

Ava, you are three years old.  That is as hard to type as it is to say.  In some ways three years seems like an eternity ago, but in most ways, it was just yesterday you mommy and daddy were bringing you home in clothes too big for you.  Now days you seem to out grow clothes before you have time to wear them more than a few times.  You are growing up so fast.  You have a memory like your mommy - which is incredibly scary and a great ability to figure things out.  Speaking of which you mastered potty training a few weeks ago with masterful ease (which we can not begin to tell you how grateful we are for that.  Please pass the secret along to Emma & Sophie).  As a matter of fact, for the past week, you would rather use the big potty instead of you little one.  You are incredibly independent (go figure) and love to do things yourself - buckling your car seat, (and Emma's & Sophie's), dressing your self, stirring your chocolate milk, taking pictures, taking a shower, etc.  You are a great big sister and you look out for your sisters and share well with them (most of the time).  Your mommy and daddy can't believe how fast you have grown, but we have loved every second of having you as our little (big) girl.  We love you so much.
