Sweet Madeline turns 1!

I’ll never forget the day you were born.

I wasn’t sure if I’d have enough love

…but all it took was one second…

and I realized God had not given me just one gift, but two..

you of course

and

 the gift of endless love.

It was such a big day for me, but when I got home and saw this picture…I realized it was just as an amazing day for Daddy!

Just look at the way he looked at you!

Jack just didn’t know what to think…

He knew you were special and

probably wondered if you were here to stay…

We were a family, and you were a part of it now.

As I was reminiscing…I found these pictures…they made me cry. I lost Paw Paw four months after you were born, and it still hurts so bad eight months later. 

The bond between a parent and child is incredible.

that bond…you and I share.

And then I found this one…it made me laugh. 

Madeline, we love you more than you will ever understand…at least until you have a child of your own.  Then you will know a love you’ve never know before…

You are so much fun…you make us laugh all the time!

You have the funniest personality…

a little bit of a drama queen sometimes….

but still one of the best things that has ever happened to us!

We love you so much!

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Love!
