HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADELYN!!!

On August 3rd, 2000--We welcomed Madelyn to our family at 3:00 in the afternoon, she weight 8 pounds even....How is that for her "lucky #'s"??? (8\3 for everything!) A very precise girl, emotionally invested in everyone that she meets and I love that about her. What a great big sister she is, it has always been evident but even more so now that Lilly has joined her in "BIG school"--she takes such great care of her! Madelyn we are so proud to be your mom and dad and are completely honored that God CHOOSE us to be YOUR mom and dad!! We are in awe with your beauty....physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally!! WE LOVE YOU---HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY!!!

Here is a slide show of our trip to Zoo Atlanta this past Saturday, June 6, 2009! It was a great day, weather was perfect~It was a little overcasted when we first arrived and cool, and then became blazing hot by the time we were leaving! We grabbed a bit for dinner then got us some Italian Ice from Rita's in Lawrenceville! FUN!!

Field Day @ Madelyn's School
