Adeline Marie, age 6.

Dear Addie,
You are such a blessing.  After being our mellow,easy going baby, you grew to be our spunky little fire cracker.   You are our wild card, refusing to conform to anyone's standards.  You drink life's cup to the full, expressing every emotion-joy, anger, sadness, fear-passionately.  You are slowly, slowly gaining self-control. ;)


You love to draw, paint, go for bike rides, run, and sing songs.  Lately we've enjoyed listening to hymns of praise that you make up while in bed.


You also humble us most every day.  If we ever thought we knew anything about parenting, God gave us you to keep us always searching and seeking His wisdom!


 You are perfectly sandwiched between Ella and Evelyn.  You are a dear friend to them both and a protective big sister.


We love you beautiful Adeline Marie! 
God is continually working in your heart, and we are so privileged to get to be a part of this great adventure!
