What a beautiful smile! She even lost one tooth while the braces were being removed. Maybe we will get really lucky and she won't need her Stage 2 of braces at all, one can hope.

No More Braces!!
Madalynn got her braces off today! She was more enthusiastic about the after picture than the before picture this morning.
What a beautiful smile! She even lost one tooth while the braces were being removed. Maybe we will get really lucky and she won't need her Stage 2 of braces at all, one can hope.

Madalynn Turns 10
Madalynn turned 10 last week, I am a little late in posting about her day... but I've been a little under the weather and out of our normal routine.
We celebrated over two days because Blake was away at camp and she chose not to party without him. So on her official birthday we had lunch at Carolina Pizza Co. with Gigi and later she went to ride go carts. Bryan bought her a pink BB gun, that she loves.
On Wednesday we had her official birthday dinner. We feasted on cubed steak, collards, rice and blackeye peas, and biscuits and cornbread. Madalynn loves cornbread and milk. Also being a true southerner, we had traditional collard and blackeye peas for New Years Day. We topped it off with ice cream sundaes. She had requested birthday balloons so we did those for her and one is now hanging out at the top of out 20 foot ceiling!
Having a birthday around the holidays is rather difficult to have celebrated properly, but we try our best to make sure she knows it's her day and that we love her very much.

16 Years
Today is our anniversary, we've been married 16 years. It's been the fastest 16 years. It's really hard to believe. I really like that we got married at the beginning of the year. It helps us keep a good perspective on things. Not only is there a fresh start to a new year, we get to celebrate right away with a great milestone. I can't imagine how much more I will love my husband 16 years from now. Looking back from where we are now, I am ashamed to say how very little we knew about being married. I am glad we have learned together along the way and are stronger for it. Life is not perfect for us or for anyone but I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who is my best friend, the best father and an all around great guy.
So we are off on another year of this adventure we call our life...
