Really? 7? How does one year go by so quickly? I cannot believe our little Madeline is 7 years old today. I can still remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. Madeline has been such a joy and blessing in our lives. We have enjoyed raising her and teaching her and spending time with her. It just amazes me how much love you can feel for your own child, simply amazing.

We spent Madeline's birthday doing whatever it was that Madeline wanted to do. We started the day by going to the koi store and buying her a yellow fish for our koi pond that both of us have been wanting for a long time. Then she wanted to go to a bounce house for a few hours followed with going out to have Mexican for lunch. When the babies went for their nap, she wanted to play a few board games and also play a little Wii. For dinner she requested spaghetti, along with a chocolate cake with chocolate filling and icing. :) After dinner we went outside so Maddie could ride her new big girl bike! She was a little scared at first (because it is a bit to big for her) but after a little practice she is riding like a pro. :)
