Auntie's birthday present...only a few months late...but it will hang on her wall forever!

heart notes

Madeline is constantly leaving traces of her loving heart. Pictures of herself standing next to me with our names written underneath, sweet glimpses into the love in her heart. And then I look up and find these taped to the wall. I love her heart.

baby thorne

Baby Thorne entered our home and turned our little hearts inside out and upside down. I have never seen all of my children clamoring around me to be near this sweet baby girl. Madeline always reminds me that she still wants a baby sister...mmhmmm.

piano recital

Sweet Madeline,

Sometimes I think I know you so well - and I do! Other times you fill me with wonderment and surprise me with how much you are growing up into a very unique and lovely little lady. You filled me with awe as I watched you sit at that big piano and sing your little heart out while playing 'Mary Had A Little Lamb.' I was proud not only of your sweet musical talent, but especially because I proudly call you my own.

Love,
Mommy
