Heart Madelyn is One!

Happy 1st Birthday Madelyn!!!!! Well, her birthday was on January 3. We had her first year pics taken today. And her party is on Sunday. She's only been home for three and a half weeks, but I can't even remember what our lives were like before her. She's changed us in so many ways. I'm praying for everyone still in process.

What a beauty! And what wonderful photos! You will cherish them for a long time to come.
I hope your daughter has a lovely party. My child also came home from Russia about two weeks shy of her first birthday. She's now over two. I miss her being little and buying the little clothes.
