Happy Birthday, baby girl!
Hard to believe it, but a year has passed since Madeline came into our lives. It’s been a year of long nights, tears & smiles, ups & downs. Parenting is not for the faint of heart!
Moments after she was born:

Showing off her party dress this past Sunday:

It’s amazing how much she’s changed in a year…my only regret is that J was forced to miss so much of it. I am counting the days until he’s home…

Good point, Christine! It’s amazing and wonderful how children change our lives. I’m only the aunt who lives a few states away but I feel like my life has changed too. I especially love the Sunday mornings on Skype where we get to see Madeline!
Karen, you are an awesome, awesome mom. I’m so proud of you! I’m proud of J too. He has loyally served our country and personally sacrificed for our safety. Glad he’s coming home soon.
