Happy Birthday My Dear Madelyn

Today we sang Happy Birthday (all day long) to the sweetest little girl I know.

We watched as she exuberantly blew out the four candles that  adorned her cake.

Our hearts pounded with gratitude for the gift of her life.

Today we celebrated ALL of who she is.

 A blanket of pure joy...

An innocent beauty...

An answer to whispered prayers...

All wrapped up in this one precious girl...

There simply are no words.
How can one fully explain a love like this?
Well, one can't
Words fail.
It's simply felt with the heart.
If you've met her then you know.


So on this day, as my baby girl turned four, we showered her with love and pretties and kisses and sweet treats...
All the while realizing that she is the gift!
