May 17th - a date that has come & gone in the past without much of a thought. And now this is a day we'll forever celebrate as the birthday of our little girl! It was the baby's due date, and yet there was still something surreal about waking up that morning to what seemed like a "regular" day - only to be holding our sweet daughter in our arms by late-afternoon!
Here are some photos of Ava's birth-day, our time in the hospital, and of Ava's homecoming.

Brother Owen was at home to meet us upon arrival. And baby sister brought Owen a present! What could be better than a new toy? A donut! :)
And a sweet homecoming present prepared by Owen. Love the sign, and his little painted hand-prints.
