Fabulous Fourth

Madelyn's blessing is this weekend, so we're headin' out and will celebrate the 4th of July with all our children:-)

I saw this cute onsie at a baby shower recently and figured "I can make that!", so here's my version....4th of July style...

The ruffle bum:And the front:A girl can't have enough changes of clothes--Here's another version, just in case she needs to change outfits:

Now if those 1100 miles will just fly by tomorrow.....Happy 4th everyone!

PS Wish we could be in two places at once. We'll be thinking of Joanna and Ben!

A Miracle Named Madelyn

Meet Madelyn Lucy Hendrickson, minutes old. She is beautiful! Every proud grandparent says that:-) Now I understand!

What a miracle life is and how grateful we are for all the blessings the Lord sends our way. It's very humbling. With the trials and challenges that is called l-i-f-e, birth is a moment that causes us to pause, catch our breath, and contemplate the REAL purpose of life.

Just call me "Nanna!"
