It's been one short year since great niece, Avery Jaye, arrived, and what joy she has brought to our family. In addition to Mom and Dad, she has a large extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who love her. Every time we see her, we are in awe of this special, little girl.
The year of her birth will be an interesting one for her to study when she gets older. Here are just a few highlights:
-Lori Lightfoot became the first African-American, female mayor of Chicago
-the U.S. Women's soccer team won their second consecutive world championship, and fourth overall
-a record number of women were elected to serve in the U.S. Congress
-the first all female spacewalk
-President Donald Trump became the third President in U.S. history to be impeached
-16 year old, Greta Thunberg, was named "Person of the Year" by Time magazine
. . . and we all developed creative ways to practice "social distancing" as a result of the coronavirus pandemic that has gripped the world and altered our lives. As a result, her birthday celebration was cancelled, and the special cutter that was purchased for her special day went unused.
Avery has brought so much joy, laughter and love into our family, she is truly a blessing. It's been so much fun watching her develop, I'm looking forward to the months ahead as she approaches "the terrible twos."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
A VERY SPECIAL GIRL!
