March 1st, 2001 changed my life in a way I would have never imagined! God chose me to be Madalyn's Mommy. She came into my life so sweet, precious, and absolutely perfect in every way! She turned 9 yesterday and what an amazing 9 years it has been! She is and has always been so beautiful, sweet, caring, respectful, honest, compassionate, and MINE (well, and Mark's)!
We have enjoyed the last 9 years watching her grow, leaving her while I worked the first 5 years, watching her dance in ballet/ tap/ jazz/ hip hop, become best buds with Paul, being by her side as she told him bye, leaving her at kindergarten with Mrs. Humphrey, watching her become such a smart girl, overcoming a speech delay, becoming such an awesome and compassionate reader, watching her become a big sister, bigger sister, and the biggest sister :o)
Madalyn we have loved each and everyday God has given us with you! You are amazing, brilliant, and the most special first born daughter! We fell so deeply in love with you, that we insisted we wanted more daughters! You were and still are wonderful to us and your sisters and we are so proud to call you ours!
I love you and Happy 9th Birthday!
