Madison is 4 years old! I first met her in October 2006 when she was just 3 months old. She was a very sweet, happy baby. We hoped we would be able to bring her home from Guatemala quickly, but that was just not meant to be. In fact, I had to make 4 more trips before I could bring her home. It was a long, grueling process and it took almost everything I had in me to get through it all. Thankfully 2 years after we met her, we were finally able to bring her home. The sad thing is that it would have been easier for Madison to have come home as a young baby. Lots of fear and trust issues. We are working through it AND she is still a sweet, happy girl. She had a fun birthday! She was so happy that it was finally her birthday. In such a large family, we have lots of birthdays so sometimes it can feel as if it is always someone else's birthday.Happy birthday, Madison! We love you!!!
She is obsessed with zebras. She talks about them a lot. When we went to the zoo, she kept asking, "Can we go see the zebras?" LOL
Well not everyone was happy it was Madison's birthday. In fact, someone was downright ticked off. Zoe just sat there and cried. I couldn't resist getting a picture of this.
But since she got some cake and ice cream, she realized it wasn't so bad. Haha!
