So obviously I took a year off from blogging. I am making a committment to getting back into blogging. After looking back at the blogs I had written, I reminded myself that this was a neat way to record our family's activities. I am kicking off with Madelyn turning 9.

What I have to say about Madelyn on her birthday:


A sweet baby girl born at 8:21pm on 5/12/03. There is no better gift on Mother's Day weekend than to celebrate this sweet life...the one who made me a mother for the first time. I wish everyone had the chance to witness her beautiful spirit. She is one whose love knows no bounds. She is affectionate and sweet, and she desires to be a missionary or a chef. So thankful for the nine years I have been able to teach, guide, laugh with, and learn from my Madelyn Grace. Happy Birthday, sweet girl. It has been amazing to watch you grow and mature. It is bittersweet to think you are halfway to adulthood. I can't wait to see what God has in store for you. So thankful He chose me to be an integral part of your journey. I love you.
