Poppie and Madi...BBF!

These pictures need no explanation!

Happy Halloween!

Silly Monkey, Madi

Madi & Best Friend, Tandi

"Let's check out all your loot, Madi.  Good little monkeys share!"

You're never too young for good dental hygiene!

Madi loves to brush her teeth!  Aren't you proud, Dr. Shanks? 

Having fun...

Madi and Tandi enjoyed playing and playing and playing...

Madi's Autumn visit

The weather permitted a visit to Pa's house to ride the 4-wheeler and gather the eggs.  She got so excited when she saw the 4-wheeler.  Pa and Madi gathered the eggs in her bucket and took a spin on the 4-wheeler.  We played in the leaves and had so much fun!

One Year Ago...

Madi was getting ready to crawl...

What a sweet baby girl!

"I'm ready for Halloween"

"Get me, Poppie. This jack-o-lantern is scaring me!"

"I'm such a silly monkey. This jack-o-lantern won't hurt me!"

"I love being a monkey"

You are 'so cute it's scary', Madi Lynn!

Madi tried on her monkey suit and new Halloween pj's.

She makes a great silly monkey for Halloween. We can't wait until Halloween!

Fun, fun, fun...

The weekend was full of fun...building blocks, reading books, watching movies, rocking, playing ring around the rosie...you name it, we did it! We love our Madi girl to the moon and back!

BEST BUDS!

Poppie and Madi had a wonderful day of playing. They are connected at the hip these days; BIG buddies! It was a joy to watch them all day.

Funny Girl, Madi

Little Miss Attitude!

"I love my rocking chair, Pa. Thank you!"

Madi came to visit us! We were so excited to see her; it had been a month! She was all smiles to see her toys and her new rocking chair.

Silly girl, Madi Lynn

Look at this silly girl with her pj's on top of her head.

I love you, silly girl!

Our Sunshine Girl from Alabama

Shelby emailed me these pictures of Madi over the weekend.

She is modeling her new sleep sack. That smile, oh that precious smile...how we miss her...it hurts we miss her so much! We will get to see her in a few weeks. We are counting down the days.

My prayer for Madi everyday is that she will grow up to know Jesus, love Jesus, serve Jesus...that she will be kind, loving, generous, compassionate, gentle...
She is in God's hands that I do know!
