Three days later... resurrected joy

One year and three days after the birth of our sweet Emily...

Joy came to us in a little bundle of blue eyes and curly brown hair- so unlike the rest of her siblings with the typical black/brown eyes and black short hair. Madelynn filled my empty arms and my aching heart. Our little wiggler, always moving, quick to smile yet quick to cry- Alligator tears fall from those big blues framed with lo-ong black lashes. Yet her smile is equally contagious and laughter is the best medicine. 

Smart, mischievous, easy to please, ticklish, sweet, cuddly-

She is our joy of the family.

The cute chica with the pink socks turns a whopping five years old today! 
Happy Birthday Madelynn!
