Very Fun Pictures, Mrs. Bluedorn! Emily and I enjoyed looking at the earlier years
Guess Ava has never liked having her picture taken 
I think a horse in the house would be so COOL!

Happy Birthday, Ava! We share the same b-day month. June is a good month to have a birthday, isn’t it? I really enjoyed seeing all the pics of you when you were little! You loved animals even then.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
