Our little Madeline is 8 today- not so little anymore. Where did the time go?
Here's a picture of baby Madeline in the hospital next to a rose- the rose is a normal length, not a long stem rose. She was a week late and weighed 6 pounds, 15 ounces. She had the cutest little cry.
Today we celebrated with a pancake breakfast, a bike ride, a board game (Clue Jr.), a chocolate cake which she frosted by herself, and a swim in the pool. We're having her party in Michigan this year with her cousins. She's very excited about that!
Madeline is a delight to us, a cherished treasure. She is smart, sweet, beautiful, funny, kind, and loving. We are so very blessed to have her.
