The Faces of Avelyn Monet




My beautiful firstborn and the one and only girl in our immediate family. Besides me, of course. I always thought I would only have girls, as there are very few boys in my extended family. But instead, I was blessed with just one beautiful, very dramatic, charming little girl.

A girl who just got out of bed and asked "Tomorrow, for lunch, can we have, like, Steak & Shake or something? Thanks."

She's beautiful. I'm so happy you were blessed with a girl! I'm jealous! I don't have a girl, so I'm literally surrounded by boys and one week out of the month, it is their inside joke to say, "Ooops, it's mommy's crazy insane week, stay out of her way." Really! That's what they say.
