They call me Aunt Yo-yo!!!!


The beautiful and amazing Ava joined our family yesterday afternoon. She has a head full of dark hair and big blue eyes. We are all over the moon in love with her....I think my sister summed it up best last night with, "How can I be so in love with someone I didn't know existed a few days ago?"
Adoption is a beautiful thing. Ava's birthday is August 16th which is also the anniversary of when my sister was diagnosed with cancer 6 years ago.
We spent yesterday evening oohhing and ahhing over everything she did (which was mainly sleeping although there was a bath involved that didn't seem like much fun for Ava) and I miss her already. I'm so sad that I can't go back over there tonight because I have to work.
I can't wait to see her again!! Needless to say, Ava already has her Aunt Yo-yo and her Uncle Josh wrapped around her little finger.....
