Today (and all month) we celebrate MADDIE!!
This a FAVORITE photo of Maddie from South Carolina in August.
An older couple walked by and saw her posing and asked if they, too, could take a picture of her imitating this frog. It was unusual, complimentary and fun!
These photos are all from our recent trip to Kiawah Island, SC.
with her nephew, Jonah Allen from NYC
with her adoring madre :)
with her active padre
and with the brother she loves to pieces (and kisses him more than he likes) :)
Maddie is enthusiastic about everything! She enjoys life every single day and it blesses our home to have her in it and a part of our lives. We love her more than we can say and are so thrilled to honor her and shower her with extra love and attention today and all weekend.
We will have more news all weekend of the BIG NEWS that 12 is for her: She begins the Young Womens' program at our church, she can attend our church's temple in Dallas (tomorrow!), she gets to play her French horn at the Pep Rally today (good timing), and she made a huge pan of minty brownies to take to her homeroom class. That's just the beginning...stay tuned!
