On Tuesday June 4th 2003 Madison was welcomed with open arms into the world and this family. She was born at 1:59 pm on a very hot summer day. Weighing in at a whopping 8lbs. 4oz. and 21 inches long, Madison wiggled her way into our lives and hearts. With blonde hair and blue eyes, she is the spitting image of her father, but has the sweet demure personality of her mom.
I can't believe that I finally have the little girl that I've longed for, for so many years. And what fun we will have! Tea parties, baking cookies and teaching her to garden are just a few of the wonderful things I look forward to sharing with her. Just think! I finally have a little girl to buy beautiful clothes for - she will never want for anything!
Although my joy is nearly overwhelming with the birth of my granddaughter, it is bittersweet because my own mother is not here with me to enjoy this very important stage in my life. I would give anything to be able to see the expression on her face if she were able to gaze down into that beautiful little baby's face. My mother would have fallen in love with this child on first sight. Although mom can't be here with us, her spirit will live on within me and I vow to share wonderful stories about her with our beautiful granddaughter, Madison.
